Japanese indie wrestler Koichiro Kimura died today of pneumonia. He was only 44.
Besides being known for his work with DDT, All Japan and many others he was also heavily involved in MMA. He worked extensively with female MMA fighters and competed himself in the second ever Vale Tudo Japan tournament where he went 1-1 before losing to the eventual winner Rickson Gracie.

RIP. He had a pretty good match teaming with Genichiro Tenryu in AJPW years back IIRC.

He had quite the interesting career. From starting out in RINGS, to being involved in post-split AJPW, to being then Jewish Alien monster called Super Uchu Power in DDT.
R.I.P.

Rest in peace, sir.
(I'd love to have a copy of his Super Uchu Power mask, that thing was great)

So young. Did he have poor health in general before the pneumonia bout?

Yes, and the purple fringe. First time I saw it, it looked like the fringe was completely around the mask at about nose-level. It looked like a jellyfish from "Spongebob".
