Profile:

Inoue spent much of his All Japan career as an underling for Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue, with his biggest success being a lengthy reign of the All Asia Tag Team Title with Tamon Honda. When Misawa split from All Japan in mid-2000, Inoue, along with all but two of All Japan's native wrestlers, followed Misawa's cause. Although Kawada didn't follow, Inoue remained close to Taue, while also continuing to team with Honda. Inoue was one of the founding members of the Dark Agents stable, alongside Akitoshi Saito and Takashi Sugiura.
