Taro Nohashi (野橋 太郎, Nohashi Tarō, ring name: のはし たろう)[3] (born August 10, 1982) is a Japanese professional wrestler. He currently wrestles in Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where he is a former one-time Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Champion. He is also a former two-time Tohoku Tag Team Champion and one-time UWA World Tag Team Champion.
Nohashi, the smallest Último Dragón Gym trainee ever, made his pro wrestling debut in Toryumon Mexico in 2002 under the name of Koichiro Arai, Kenichiro Arai's (kayfabe) little brother. Koichiro teamed with Kenichiro and later with Chuichiro, the third brother, and wrestled in Toryumon Mexico and Toryumon X until 2004, when he changed his name to Shinjitsu Nohashi, the mini version of Jinsei Shinzaki.
After closing Toryumon X, Nohashi and his class were moved to Michinoku Pro Wrestling, where he formed a tag team with Shinzaki. On February 13, 2010 he turned heel and adopted his real name, Taro Nohashi, joining Fujita Hayato and his Kowloon stable.
