Charleston, SC — Major League Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling today announced Taiji Ishimori as a participant at MLW & NJPW Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026, fueled by Danny McBride’s Don Gato Tequila heads to Festival Hall on Sunday, April 12. Fans can secure their seats today at MLWgo.com and Eventbrite.

The global event will also feature an MLW FUSION TV taping, delivering a night of world class competition as world-class athletes converge on the Holy City.
Known worldwide as the “Bone Soldier,” Ishimori is one of the most accomplished junior heavyweights of his generation. A former multiple-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, Ishimori has built his reputation on explosive speed, sharp striking, and seamless technical precision. From his time competing internationally to dominating New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s junior heavyweight ranks, Ishimori’s resume is defined by championship pedigree and relentless intensity.
Compact yet devastatingly powerful, Ishimori blends high-speed aerial offense with bone-jarring impact — a dangerous combination that has overwhelmed elite competition across the globe. Whether soaring off the top rope or snapping into the Bone Lock, Ishimori thrives under pressure and elevates every stage he steps onto.
On April 12, that stage is Festival Hall in Charleston — MLW’s hometown — as Fantastica Mania USA brings together premier fighters from Japan, Mexico, and the United States for a landmark international showcase captured for MLW FUSION.
