About Kouji Shishido

  • Kouji Shishido (?? ??, Shishido Koji, born February 2, 1972) is a Japanese wrestler who competes for Dragon Gate.
  • He plays the Jackson Florida character, who is a popular masked comedy wrestler in the promotion.
  • He debuted the character on July 3, 2005, in a tag match where he and Johnson Florida battled the Florida Brothers, Michael Iwasa & Daniel Mishima.
  • His character is the uncle of the Florida Brothers, and he has earned the nickname "The Stuntman" because of his high-risk wrestling style.
  • His risk taking is always unsuccessful, however, which provides much of the character's comedy.
  • In particular, he has missed his diving knee drop so many times that he requires the use of a cane to walk and wrestle, and what's worse, he refuses to stop using the move.
  • Despite this, he has managed to become a three-time Open the Owarai Gate Champion.
  • As the Owarai Gate Championship is decided based on fan support rather than actually winning matches, his poor win-loss record doesn't prevent him from being a staple of the division. He competed for the Tozawa-juku stable under his real name, joining in 2006 as their flag bearer.
  • However, he was used sporadically during his whole tenure, and spent a lot of time injured.
  • When the unit was brought to an end on November 16, 2008, after his stablemates Akira Tozawa, Taku Iwasa & Kenichiro Arai lost a match to Open the Triangle Gate champions Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii & Magnitude Kishiwada, he and his stablemates were given a graduation ceremony.
  • He competed solely on the Jackson Florida character until his departure from the company at the end of 2011.
