Shinya Hashimoto

Shinya Hashimoto (橋本真也 Hashimoto Shin'ya) (July 3, 1965 - July 11, 2005), was a Japanese professional wrestler. Along with Masa Chono and Keiji Mutoh, Hashimoto was dubbed one of the "Three Musketeers" that began competing in New Japan Pro Wrestling in the late 1980s that would go on to dominate the promotion in the 1990s.

Despite his large size, before turning to pro wrestling he was an amateur judoka, not a sumo wrestler, as popular belief says. Hashimoto became only the second man to win the top three heavyweight championships in Japan: the All Japan Triple Crown, the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

He founded Pro Wrestling ZERO-ONE in 2001, and stayed as an owner and manager until November 2004, when he left the company.

Hashimoto died of a brain aneurysm in Tokyo, Japan, July 11, 2005.
