The Weakest Wrestler In The World: Kono Mama Ichikawa's Rise to Pro Wrestling Stardom

In the unpredictable world of professional wrestling, one man stands out for his unique blend of comedy and technical prowess - Kono Mama Ichikawa, also known as Stalker Ichikawa Z. This pint-sized powerhouse from Kakamigahara, Gifu, Japan has been entertaining fans with his hilarious antics and impressive in-ring skills since 1998.

Weighing in at a mere 42 kg (93 lbs), Ichikawa's diminutive stature belies his larger-than-life personality and wrestling style. A self-proclaimed "technician" with a background in comedy, Ichikawa has mastered a range of innovative moves, including the La Magistral, Ina Bauer German Suplex Hold, 735 (Namiko), and Kanchou.

Ichikawa's career has spanned multiple promotions, including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Pro Wrestling NOAH, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Dragon Gate Japan Pro-Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling ZERO1.

As "Hollywood" Ichikawa, fans have come to expect nothing but high-flying excitement from this pint-sized performer. With a reputation for being one of the most entertaining wrestlers in Japan, Ichikawa's signature move - the La Magistral - has become a fan favorite.

From his early days as Stan Ichikawa to his current persona as Jushin Thunder Ichikawa, Ichikawa has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the ring. His ability to balance humor and athleticism has earned him the nickname "The Weakest Wrestler In The World" - a moniker that only adds to his charm.

Born on October 12, 1974, Ichikawa's rise to pro wrestling stardom is a testament to his perseverance and dedication. With a first match date of December 12, 1998, this diminutive dynamo has been delighting fans for nearly two decades.
