Big The Gedo was active in the United States since the late 1950s. There had been many active Japanese American wrestlers after the WWII in American professional wrestling, however not many people knows their time and not much record left about Big The Gedo, thus they are talked as legendary wrestler. They promoted themselves under the gimmick of the villain wrestler who came to revenge their parents who was killed by atomic bomb, which greatly shocked American spectators. Big The Gedo was  conjoined twins blessed with extraordinarily strong body and mentality. In the spite of their handicaps, they committed entirely to the villain using anti-Japanese sentiment that was still left in wrestling rings in the US. Big The Gedo rubbed feelings of the spectators with fearless smiles, wildly dancing and shouting 'Banzai! Banzai!' as the spectators showered 'Kill the Jap!' calls on them at the time of their entrance procession. Their special features were the foul attacks such as crotch-kicking, eyeball crushing and biting after servilely begging forgiveness as the surprise attacks which evoked Pearl Harbor when they were in a tight corner during a match. Due to their handicaps, the human rights groups furiously protested. However, Big The Gedo dismissed the protests by saying “This is none of your business! That costs us our job.”　Furthermore their extreme rough play had increased. Big The Gedo participated in the both single and tag matches saying that they’re ‘Niko-ich (two for one)’. Freddie Blassie, “the silver-haired demon” asked Big The Gedo to be a tag partner because he was impatient to the ambiguous style. However, they brushed off the offer and known to be said, “We were Niko-ich (two for one) but also a tag team from the birth.” This resulted Big The Gedo to be banned from the official tag league matches. In response, they started to burst into rings and surprise attacks outside the rings for the harassment, which was unusual at the time. Japanese wrestling icon Rikidōzan heard rumors about Big The Gedo, strongly hoped a match in Japan and started negotiation. However, there was an accident in which an elderly woman died of shock caused by watching their cruel foul in a match in Detroit, 1962. After that incident, Big The Gedo had disappeared suddenly from professional wrestling in the United States. Nobody knows whereabouts of Big The Gedo.
Devoted to be the villain to the end, Big The Gedo had digested discrimination and prejudice as entertainment, illustrating neither true nor fiction element of professional wrestling and the complexity and nationalism that did not fit in the poetic justice. Even now, they continue to influence many and have been handed down as legendary wrestler.
