 Funaki - WWE
Funaki started as a shoot style wrestler in Yoshiaki Fujiwara's Fujiwara Gumi promotion and moved to its successor promotion, BattlARTS, but found the lucha libre style more to his liking, so he moved to the Great Sasuke's promotion, Michinoku Pro Wrestling.
Funaki has wrestled most of his career as a tag team competitor with Taka Michinoku and as part of Kai En Tai.
After Michinoku left the WWE, Funaki found himself as a lower card wrestler and adopted the gimmick of "Smackdown's No.1 Announcer" performing backstage interviews in between matches until at WWE Armageddon 2004, where he defeated Spike Dudley to win his first WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
