2005 Recap:
Yoshie had a strong year, even though he continues having trouble breaking into the main fold of New Japan.  He was 1-1 on Tokyo Dome Shows, but both matches were towards the bottom of the card.  He wrestled in the G-1 Climax, but came in 5th in his block.  As 2005 ended, he began tagging with Tanahashi.  Yoshie is distinguishable due to his large size and wrestles a very different style then most New Japan wrestlers.

Yoshie did not re-sign with New Japan in January and became a free agent. In 2006 he wrestled mostly for All Japan, where he participated in the Champion Carnival for the first time in his career. Yoshie later wrestled in MUGA, a promotion run by Fujinami and Nishimura.
