Orihara was trained in the
All Japan Pro Wrestling Dojo under
Genichiro Tenryu's tutelage. When Tenryu left for
Super World of Sports, Orihara and others followed him to the new promotion. In 1992, Orihara was sent to
Mexico, where he learnt the high-flying
lucha libre style and wrestled for
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as
Iga, a masked
ninja character, mostly teaming with fellow young wrestler Toshiyuki Nakahara (Koga). Upon his return, SWS had been disbanded and replaced with
Wrestle Association R. There Orihara showed his new style and competed in memorable cruiserweight bouts with
Ultimo Dragon, with whom he formed a long friendship. After the WAR demise, Orihara landed in
Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where he became
Sasuke the Great, a
The Great Sasuke copycat. Orihara formed a tag team with Takeshi Ono (who competed as Masked Tiger) and feuded with Sasuke and
Tiger Mask. Alongside their work in Michinoku Pro, Orihara and Ono became a mainstay team on
Battlarts. In 1999, Orihara competed in
New Japan Pro-Wrestling and
Dramatic Dream Team. Currently, Orihara is a part of
Satoru Sayama's Real Japan Pro Wrestling and
Tenryu Project. ==Championships and accomplishments==
