Yoshino was a baseball player throughout his time in school, but he became interested in wrestling after seeing Antonio Inoki vs. Big Van Vader on television.
2000: Debuts as a 7th term student for T2P.
2001: Comes to Japan in advance of the rest of T2P, wrestling a tour in Michinoku Pro and on Toryumon Japan undercards. Formally debuts in Japan on the inaugural Desembarcamiento.
2002: Advances to the finals of the T2P League, losing to Milano Collection A.T. Joins the newly formed Italian Connection, renaming to YOSSINO. Along with Milano and brother YASSINI they were the frontline of the T2P vs. Japan war, and were unbeatable most of the year. The end of the year sees his first match with K-ness.
2003: Defeats Genki Horiguchi in a decision match for the NWA Welterweight title. He was never beaten for it, choosing to vacate himself in May 2004. He continued his legendary rivalry with K-ness.
2004: Continues with the Italian Connection. The highlight of the year comes in fall when they became the first Open the Triangle Gate champion team.
2005: With the collapse of the ItaCon, he betrays K-ness to join Blood Generation. He cut his trademark hair and reverted to his real name.
2006: Wins the tournament to become the 3rd Open the Brave Gate champion. Aligns with the BloodGen splinter group that became Muscle Outlaw'z.
2007: Captures the Brave Gate for the second time. With Doi, their Speed Muscle team finds great success. They kick started their run by winning the Summer Adventure Tag League to become the first Open the Twin Gate champion team. At one point he held 4 titles at one time, Brave, Twin, IJ Tag, and GHC Jr. tag.

Thus far 2008 has been a breakout year for Yoshino. He ran together an impressive string of Brave Gate defenses before outside interference cost him the belt. He took CIMA to limit in a Dream Gate defense, but fell short. After some turbulence with Doi, they reconciled their team. After several months of dissention, he and Doi split from MO'z. They went on to form WORLD-1. He and Doi also traveled to the US to compete for TNA, the first DG trip to a "major" US company. He remains the fastest wrestler on the planet.
