Masahiro Takanashi

For a long time, he was a masterful "jack of all trades," fulfilling every role he was given. This dedication and skill earned him a strong fan following, and he became a key figure as the spokesman for the unit "Shuten Doji" with KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi. After Chris Brookes began competing in DDT, he formed CDK (Calamari Drunken Kings) with him and entered the tag team scene. They went on to win tag team championships in various countries, primarily in Southeast Asia. In November 2023, he became a member of SCHADENFREUDE International, led by Chris. In January 2024, by winning the KO-D Ten-Man Tag Team Championship, he achieved a grand slam of winning all the major DDT titles.
