Eiji Ezaki




Eiji Ezaki was a Japanese Professional Wrestler better known as the masked '''Hayabusa''' (Falcon/Phoenix), who competed primarily for Atsushi Onita's Frontier Martial Arts promotion. He gained great popularity for his unique appearance and high risk style.

Eiji Ezaki adopted the Hayabusa gimmick in 1993 at the suggestion of fellow wrestler Jushin Liger . Throughout his career, he managed to control the fanbase of the promotion FMW. Hayabusa has wrestled very dangerous matches, involving Barbed Wire and Explosives . After one "Exploding Cage" match, he was rushed to the hospital due to severe burns. Hayabusa's rivals included Mr. Gannosuke, The Gladiator , and Onita himself, while he would frequently team with Jinsei Shinzaki . Ezaki would occasionally alter his character to the "Darkside of Hayabusa" or the maskless "H".

In October 2001, Hayabusa suffered a tragic injury during a match against Mammoth Sasaki while attempting a Quebrada . His foot caught the ropes and he landed on his head, Paralyzing him. The injury also provoked a very high fever and Hayabusa required surgery. Hayabusa was considered the heart and soul of FMW , and after his departure FMW slowly folded.

Hayabusa is now capable of moving his arms and legs, and walks using a cane. In the meantime, Ezaki has been pursuing a career as a singer. Ezaki helped get Mr. Gannosuke's WMF promotion off the ground and agreed to be the face of the promotion until February 2004 when the promotion could no longer afford him to appear.
