Masato Yoshino is a Japanese professional wrestler, currently working for the Dragon Gate wrestling promotion. He is a former member of the Italian Collection (led by Milano Collection A.T.), Blood Generation (led by CIMA), and a current member of the stable Muscle Outlaws. He is recognized for his work as a heel in Dragon Gate and for being one of the fastest wrestlers in the history of the sport, using his speed well with his technical wrestling ability. He is also known for having a set of important matches with K-Ness (who he treats as a friend and rival); these matches helped rocket Masato into much more fame within Dragon Gate.
He also works with the MTV-based wrestling promotion Wrestling Society X, where he teams up with Genki Horiguchi to form "Team Dragon Gate".
