Toru Ito (伊藤透, Itō Tōru, born December 24, 1975)^[2] is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Toru Owashi (大鷲透, Ōwashi Tōru). He is best known for his work in DDT Pro-Wrestling, where he is a former KO-D Openweight Champion and two time KO-D Tag Team Champion.

Sumo career[edit]

Initially aspiring to become a sumo wrestler like his father, former maegashira 3 Ōwashi Hitoshi, Ito joined the Wakamatsu stable in 1993 and adopted the shikona of Asaitō, which he later changed to Asawashi, meaning "Morning Eagle" in Japanese. However, he ended up leaving the sport due to a recurrent knee injury in January 1999, after having reached his highest rank of jonidan 42. His career record was 99 wins to 104 losses, with 28 absences due to injury. He worked as a chef until joining the Ultimo Dragon Gym in order to become a professional wrestler.

Professional wrestling career[edit]

Toryumon (2000–2004)[edit]

He made his debut under his real name on September 2, 2000 in Mexico, deafeating Masato Yoshino.^[3] He soon adopted the name of Toru Owashi and the character of a strong, villainous loner. On December 2, 2001, he won the 2001 Young Dragons Cup by defeating Kawabata in the semi-final, then Shuji Kondo in the final.^[4] After being moved along with his entire class to Toryumon 2000 Project, he went to gain victories over Shuji Kondo, Jun Ogawauchi and the Syachihoko Machines. He was made the enforcer of Hagure Gundan, also known as Aagan Iisou, a stable commanded by Kondo.

He also wrestled for Dragondoor and El Dorado Wrestling. In El Dorado he was the leader of the faction Animal Planets. Owashi won the UWA World Trios Championship with Takuya Sugawara and Nobutaka Araya on February 27, 2008 defeating the Brahman Brothers and Go of the Hell Demons faction.

DDT Pro-Wrestling (2007–2010, 2012–present)[edit]

In 2007 he joined DDT Pro-Wrestling, where he won the KO-D Openweight Championship by beating Danshoku Dino. He defended the championship vs Poison Sawada Julie on June 25, 2006 and a second time vs Kudo on August 27, 2006, but Owashi lost the KO-D Openweight Championship to Harashima on December 29, 2006. Owashi would originally retire from professional wrestling in 2010, but came out of retirement in 2012 and returned to the promotion.
