, better known by his ringname "brother" Yasshi (stylised as "brother"YASSHI), is a Japanese professional wrestler, known for his appearances in El Dorado Wrestling, Dragon Gate, and All Japan Pro Wrestling. He is currently working for Pro Wrestling Zero1. He was an amateur wrestler before becoming a pro wrestler.

Career

Toryumon – Japan Tsujimoto debuted in Toryumon Japan as part of the T2P class as Stevie "brother" Tsujimoto. He was ranked second, roughly tied with Masato Yoshino, but far behind Milano Collection AT. Both he and Yoshino would join Milano's faction The Italian Connection, renaming to Yassini and Yossino respectively. Tsujimoto did not like his new name, and after arguing with Milano, settled on "brother Yassini".

The Italian Connection began showing a divide, as Milano and Yossino were face oriented, whereas Yassini and fellow ItaCon stablemates Condotti Shuji, Bakery Yagi and Berlinetta Boxer were all heels.

All Japan Pro Wrestling After Kondo and Yasshi were fired from Dragon Gate, they surfaced in AJPW as part of DG alumni TARU's stable Voodoo Murders.

Dragondoor/El Dorado Yasshi and Kondo reprised their alliance in the short lived Dragondoor promotion, as well as their three-man tag team with Takuya Sugawara. Although Toru Owashi and Shogo Takagi were both in the promotion, a full reunion of Aagan Iisou never happened.

In El Dorado, Yasshi split from Kondo for the first time since their early days in the Italian Connection. Yasshi returned to the wrestling and Llave style he used in the early days of his career, and formed a stable of his own called the Nanking Fucking Wrestling Team alongside high school wrestling teammates Masaki Okimoto and Yuji Hino. It did not last long as he made few attempts to expand it, and after losing a match to Kondo in which the loser disbanded his faction, Yasshi reformed his alliance with Kondo.

Yasshi retired in February 2009.

Diamond Ring On December 9, 2012, Yasshi made a special appearance in Kensuke Sasaki's Diamond Ring. On February 11, 2013, he, Taru, Kazunari Murakami, Kengo Nishimura, Kento Miyahara and Taishi Takizawa reformed the Voodoo Murders, with Yasshi positioned as the leader of the group.

Return to Dragon Gate

On February 4, 2016, Yasshi returned to Dragon Gate, 11 years after his controversial firing, and reunited with his former Italian Connection stablemate Masato Yoshino. On May 11, Yasshi returned once again and joined Verserk.
