History Wrestling / ShinyaHashimoto

* OddFriendship: With comedian Kunikazu Katsumata, who described Hashimoto as a brother and their friendship as [["Anime/{{Doraemon}} very much like Suneo and Giant."]]

* AuthorAppeal: He liked wrestlers with legit backgrounds, like judoka, karateka, amateur wrestlers, kickboxers and MMA fighters, as he himself was one of the him (though, wisely, only when he booked the himself; he refused to be in the ring with a K-1 fighter in the first WRESTLE-1, possibly fearing he might be forced to job to them).

* CatchPhrase: During his ZERO-ONE days, his PreAssKickingOneLiner was "We are in the Hell's worst neighborhood!"

* GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being a solid face, Hashimoto's mannerisms in the ring were sometimes a bit heelish, kicking his opponents [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown while they were down]] or [[InTheBack off-guard]] and aggressively taunting them.

* IKnowKarate: A former Sato-Juku competitor. He also had a 3º dan black belt in UsefulNotes/{{Judo}}.

* OddFreindship: With comedian Kunikazu Katsumata.

* CaptainErsatz

* FinishingMove: Vertical drop brainbuster and jumping spike DDT. In shoot-style matches and different style fights, he would use the inverted triangle choke (done in the ushiro-sankaku-jime manner, to highlight his judo background) and a simple kick to the head.

* IKnowKarate: A former Sato-Juku competitor. He knew judo too.
* [[KickChick Kick Dude]]: Drew comparisons to All Japan's Toshiaki Kawada.

* MartialArtsHeadband: Pro wrestling headband? Puroresu band? Anyways, he tied something white around his head at any rate.

* [[MartialArtsHeadband Pro Wrestling Headband]]

* RedBaron: "Hakai O" ([[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "The King of Destruction"]]), "Toukon Densho" ("The Heart and Soul of Fighting Spirit") and "Bakusatsu Shooter" ("Explosive Shooter").

* AuthorAppeal: He liked wrestlers with legit backgrounds, like judoka, karateka, amateur wrestlers, kickboxers and MMA fighters (though, interestingly, he once claimed he did not want to be in the ring with a K-1 fighter).

* FinishingMove: Vertical drop brainbuster and jumping spike DDT. In shoot-style matches and different style fights, he would use a back triangle choke or a simple kick to the head.

* {{Badass}}

'''Shinya Hashimoto''' (1965-2005) was a UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er and promoter best known for his work in Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling and his own promotion [[Wrestling/ProWrestlingZERO1 Pro Wrestling ZERO-ONE]] from the 1980s until his death. He debuted in 1984 for New Japan and also competed in various North American territories, including the Continental Wrestling Association in Memphis, the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico and Stampede Wrestling in Canada, as well as Catch Wrestling Association in Austria/Germany. Among his in-ring achievements, he was the second, after Keiji Muto/The Great Muta, wrestler to have held the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/newjapan/iwgp-h.html New Japan IWGP Heavyweight Title]], the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/alljapan/tc-h.html All Japan Triple Crown Heavyweight Title]] and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-h.html NWA World Heavyweight Title]]. He also had, to date, the longest ever reign as the New Japan Pro Wrestling IWGP Heavyweight Champion, at 489 days. He made his American [=PPV=] debut as a replacement for Akira Nogami at ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} The Great American Bash 1992'', in the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-t.html NWA World Tag Team Title]] Tournament. He and Hiroshi Hase defeated the Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin), and lost later to Wrestling/BarryWindham and [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Dustin Rhodes]]. He was inducted into the ''[[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]'' Hall of Fame in 2000. He died of a brain aneurysm in Tokyo on July 11, 2005 at the age of 40.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Became best friends with Naoya Ogawa, who had beat him in Hashimoto's supposed NJPW "retirement" match. Especially touching, given that Ogawa had been esentially ordered by Inoki to destroy Hashimoto's aura to the extent of shooting on him, and yet Shinya forgave him and welcomed him to ZERO-ONE.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being a solid face, Hashimoto's mannerisms in the ring were sometimes a bit heelish, kicking his opponents [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown while they were down]] or [[InTheBack off-guard]] and aggresively taunting them.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Moved very well for a guy his size.

* IKnowKarate: And Judo too.
