Ikeda was trained by
Yoshiaki Fujiwara and joined Fujiwara's promotion
Fujiwara Gumi in 1993. In 1994, representing Fujiwara Gumi, he fought for
Fighting Network RINGS in his only
mixed martial arts fight against
Tsuyoshi Kosaka in a losing effort. In 1995 he moved to
BattlARTS. As one of the few heavyweights competing in a promotion made up mostly of junior heavyweights (compare
Jinsei Shinzaki in Michinoku Pro Wrestling), he often had to look out of the promotion for challenges, including Shinzaki and
FMW talent such as
Hayabusa,
Masato Tanaka, and
Hiromichi Fuyuki. In 1997 he started making appearances in
All Japan Pro Wrestling, and finally in early 2000 he joined the promotion as a full-time worker. He did not stay long as later that year he left for
Mitsuharu Misawa's new promotion
Pro Wrestling Noah. He briefly joined Misawa's
Wave faction, but left soon after. On June 1, 2004 he beat
Takeshi Morishima for the WLW Heavyweight Championship. In December 2004 he announced his departure from Noah. He now wrestles in the Japanese
Independent circuit, and runs his own promotion, Fu-Ten Promotion. ==Championships and accomplishments==
