What ever happened to...

[Guest Real F'n Show]

I'm way behind on my puro viewing, but I try to read the results as much as I can. I've enjoyed the hell out of Yakushiji's work in the famous Michinoku Pro multi-man tags, but haven't heard from him in a while. Is he still wrestling somewhere in Japan? Maybe I've missed him or he's going under a different name. Thanks in advance.

He retired due to pilled up injuries, I'm not sure when exactly but I think somewhere around 2001 because he didn't appear at the 'MPro 10 years later' anniversary show which took place in 2002, but at least Funaki was there.
