[edit] Career
[edit] Toryumon/Dragon Gate
When he started in Toryumon he was perceived as the heir of Ultimo Dragon, however, he never reached the level of ace. Early on, he feuded with Darkness Dragon, winning the feud by defeating Darkness in a best of 3 falls mask vs mask match.
He joined Masaaki Mochizuki's Shin M2K stable and stayed with the group when it transferred into Do Fixer. DKid would stay in DoFixer until the very end. When Genki Horiguchi's betrayal of Ryo Saito reduced Do Fixer to 2 members and Magnum Tokyo announced his retirement, he and Saito went their separate ways.
After Do Fixer ended, Dragon Kid joined up with CIMA and Susumu Yokosuka in the Typhoon stable. Since Yokosuka and Saito had started teaming together, he and CIMA started teaming up exclusively with each other and have become known as CK-1.
[edit] World Championship Wrestling
Nakamura made a few appearances for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) working as "Little Dragon." His only appearance on Monday Nitro would be a victory over Eddie Guerrero via rollup after interference[1]. The Little Dragon gimmick portrayed by Takuya Sugi is unrelated to this one.
[edit] Music career
On November 11th, 2008, Dragon Gate Records (a subsidiary of Dragon Gate Wrestling) released a CD featuring music from Nakamura and Eiji Ezaki (Japanese singer and retired wrestler, also known as Hayabusa).
