Tomohiro Ishii
It seems every G1, of all of the MOTY candidates that format provides, that Ishii’s name comes up as (or more) frequently than anyone else. Ishii would be an extreme test for anyone in this field, but especially those who have never experienced the true “strong style” culture. Could he win the whole thing? I wouldn’t put it past him, because nobody will be able to take as much punishment as him.
