WAR (1994–1996) Hiromichi Fuyuki had been wrestling in
Wrestle Association R (WAR) since 1992 and took
Jado and Gedo, who just joined WAR after their home promotion,
W*ING, folded, under his wing to form the
villainous stable Fuyuki-gun and became the lead villain of the company. The group competed in its first match as a team on April 26, 1994 by defeating
Genichiro Tenryu,
Koki Kitahara and
Takashi Ishikawa and quickly became the lead villains of the company. Shortly after their debut as a team, Fuyuki-gun debuted for
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) at the
5th Anniversary Show by losing to Team Canada's
Big Titan,
The Gladiator and
Ricky Fuji. Fuyuki-gun lost to the team of Genichiro Tenryu,
Animal Hamaguchi and Koki Kitahara in the
main event of the
Live War Rise event on June 6. The group went on a brief hiatus as Fuyuki went to
Mexico to work a few matches with
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Fuyuki-gun returned to WAR on June 30 by defeating
Hideo Takayama, Hiroshi Itakura and Ichiro Yaguchi in the quarter-final, Brett Como,
Lionheart and
Dos Caras in the semi-final and Genichiro Tenryu, Animal Hamaguchi and Koti Kitahara in a one-night tournament to become the promotion's first

Bob Backlund,
Scott Putski and
The Warlord in their first title defense on August 26, only to regain it in a rematch on September 1. On September 29, Fuyuki lost a
hair vs. hair match to Tenryu, which stipulated that upon losing Fuyuki would have to ride the
Sumida River or Jado and Gedo would have to get their heads shaved. Fuyuki forcibly cut the hair of Jado and Gedo. Fuyuki-gun retained the title against Bob Backlund, Dos Caras and
Vampiro Canadiense in their first title defense on October 11. On November 8, Fuyuki-gun retained the title against Genichiro Tenryu, Animal Hamaguchi and Koki Kitahara in a lengthy match which went for nearly forty-three minutes. On January 8, 1995, Fuyuki-gun lost the title to
Heisei Ishingun members
Shiro Koshinaka,
Tatsutoshi Goto and
Michiyoshi Ohara. As a result, Fuyuki-gun began a feud with Heisei Ishingun and Fuyuki battled the group's leader Koshinaka in a losing effort at
3rd Anniversary Show. On August 5, Fuyuki-gun defeated Animal Hamaguchi, Koki Kitahara and Genichiro Tenryu to win their third World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. They lost the title to

4th Anniversary Show on July 20. In July 1996, Lionheart, who joined the group in November 1994, left WAR as he signed with
WCW, while the remaining members of Fuyuki-gun left WAR in October and became freelancers on the Japanese
independent circuit.
Freelance (1996–1997) After quitting WAR, Fuyuki-gun began freelancing in various Japanese promotions. They debuted for
Tokyo Pro Wrestling (TPW) on December 7 by defeating
Takashi Ishikawa,
The Great Kabuki and Daikokubo Benkei. They made their debut for
International Wrestling Association on their television show on March 9, 1997 by picking a win over Daikokubo Benkei, Katsumi Hirano and
Leatherface. Fuyuki began promoting his own shows as well under the "Fuyuki Army" banner beginning with the Samurai TV airing on April 28. They also began wrestling for
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), which would become their home promotion. They made their debut for
Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) on July 23 and continued to tour with BJW and IWA Japan while running their own Fuyuki Army shows as well with FMW lending its talent and financial support to their shows.

Hisakatsu Oya and
The Headhunters to win the
World Street Fight 6-Man Tag Team Championship. Fuyuki-Gun defeated the trio in a

Keisuke Yamada and
The Great Kabuki in the semi-final but lost to Funk Masters of Wrestling's
Mr. Gannosuke, Hisakatsu Oya and
The Gladiator on August 5. Fuyuki-Gun continued their freelancing after Fuyuki was forced to leave FMW after losing a match to Funk Masters of Wrestling leader
Terry Funk at
Kawasaki Legend. However, Fuyuki-Gun returned to FMW to work full-time for the promotion on November 15. The group began feuding with
Atsushi Onita's
ZEN due to Fuyuki's hatred with Onita. On December 5, Fuyuki-Gun defeated Onita's alter ego The Great Nita, Yukihiro Kanemura and Hido.
Team No Respect (1998–1999) On January 7, 1998, Fuyuki-Gun's Kodo Fuyuki and Jado joined former ZEN members Mr. Gannosuke, Yukihiro Kanemura and Hido in attacking ZEN members Atsushi Onita,
Koji Nakagawa and
Tetsuhiro Kuroda after the latter defeated the former. Fuyuki, Jado, Gannosuke and Kanemura merged to form
Team No Respect to feud with FMW and ZEN. Gedo joined the group upon returning to FMW on February 4. Fuyuki-Gun had now been merged in TNR and the trio continued to team with each other as TNR members in various matches throughout 1998. On January 6, 1999, Fuyuki
turned
fan favorite for the first time by quitting
villainous tactics. Jado disagreed with Fuyuki and left TNR while Gedo chose to stay in the group, leading to a feud between Jado and Gedo. Later in the night, Fuyuki-Gun reunited as Jado re-joined TNR. Fuyuki-Gun continued teaming together as TNR members until Fuyuki was forced to leave FMW
in storyline due to losing a
loser leaves FMW match to
Masato Tanaka at
10th Anniversary Show. Fuyuki formed a new version of Fuyuki-gun called
Shin Fuyuki-gun (
English: New Fuyuki Army) with Mr. Gannosuke, Chocoball Mukai, Kyoko Inoue, Koji Nakagawa,
Hideki Hosaka,
Yoshinori Sasaki and
Shoichi Arai. On June 16,
Kintaro Kanemura ended TNR and joined Shin Fuyuki-gun. They would be based on Team No Respect as the top villainous group in FMW and mainly feuded with FMW's top wrestler
H. Nakagawa changed his
character to "GOEMON". On May 30, Shin Fuyuki-gun kidnapped
Ricky Fuji during an autograph signing and planned to blow him after Kodo Fuyuki and GOEMON's match against H and
Hayabusa on June 16. H and Hayabusa won the match and then Mr. Gannosuke took Fuji away to blow him and a dynamite exploded but both wrestlers were away from the explosion. On June 26, Fuyuki, Inoue and Mukai lost the 6-Man Tag Team Championship to H,
Hisakatsu Oya and
Tetsuhiro Kuroda. H eventually returned as Hayabusa on July 23 and defeated Shin Fuyuki-gun in a
gauntlet match to earn a title shot at Fuyuki's
WEW World Heavyweight Championship and Fuyuki managed to retain the title. On September 15, Gannosuke, Fuyuki and Shinjuku Shark won the 6-Man Tag Team Championship from Hayabusa, Hisakatsu Oya and Tetsuhiro Kuroda, but lost the title to Jado, Gedo and
Kaori Nakayama two days later when Nakayama pinned Fuyuki for the title. Gannosuke became upset at Fuyuki losing the title to a girl. Fuyuki retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Hayabusa while GOEMON began feuding with Onryo. Gannosuke grew tired of FMW's
sports entertainment style and attacked Shoichi Arai, forcing Arai to fire him. He became unstable and attacked Tetsuhiro Kuroda and cost him matches leading to Arai reinstating him for a match against Kuroda at
Deep Throat pay-per-view, where Onryo defeated GOEMON, Kuroda defeated Gannosuke which stipulated that Gannosuke must retire if he lost and Fuyuki defeated Hayabusa to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, Hayabusa was taking time off to heal his injured elbows until Kuroda attacked him. On November 28, Kuroda and Masato Tanaka took on Fuyuki and Kanemura and Jado and Gedo in a
three-way match, during which Kuroda turned on Tanaka to join Shin Fuyuki-Gun and the match was turned into a
six-man tag team match, with Kuroda, Fuyuki and Kanemura gaining a win over Tanaka, Jado and Gedo. The latter would form a trio called Complete Players. The event also saw Onryo get his second consecutive win on GOEMON. GOEMON and Onryo had a third match together on December 10, which ended in a no contest after GOEMON died during the match and was put into a casket. On December 20, GOEMON quit Shin Fuyuki-Gun by returning as Onryo's mystery partner against Azusa Kudo and Naohiko Yamazaki. On December 23, Fuyuki and Kuroda defeated
Tamon Honda and
Naomichi Marufuji to win the
WEW World Tag Team Championship at
Pro Wrestling NOAH's Great Voyage pay-per-view. On January 7, 2001, Kuroda turned on Fuyuki during a title defense against Masato Tanaka and Gedo, allowing Gedo to pin Fuyuki for the title. As a result, Fuyuki turned fan favorite to end Shin Fuyuki-Gun and begin feuding with Kuroda and his new villainous stable Team Kuroda. On April 1, Kuroda defeated Fuyuki to win the World Heavyweight Championship with the help of Mr. Gannosuke. ==Members==
