Toru Ito (伊藤 透, Itō Tōru, born December 24, 1975) is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Toru Owashi (大鷲 透, Ōwashi Tōru). He is best known for his work in DDT Pro-Wrestling, where he is a former KO-D Openweight Champion and two time KO-D Tag Team Champion.




Sumo career



Initially aspiring to become a sumo wrestler like his father, former maegashira 3 Ōwashi Hitoshi, Ito joined the Wakamatsu stable in 1993 and adopted the shikona of Asaitō, which he later changed to Asawashi, meaning "Morning Eagle" in Japanese. However, he ended up leaving the sport due to a recurrent knee injury in January 1999, after having reached his highest rank of jonidan 42. His career record was 99 wins to 104 losses, with 28 absences due to injury. He worked as a chef until joining the Ultimo Dragon Gym in order to become a professional wrestler.
