XX

Tag team of Taiji Ishimori and Hi69, formed in January 2017. Name means "double extract".

"XX" were known for coming to the ring wearing horned masks in tribute to the band "Mothball" (whose t-shirt they sometimes wear) and who did Taiji Ishimori's entry song; in addition both Hi69 and Taiji Ishimori appeared in their music video "Fight Out" which is used as their entry video. The numbers on their masks also correlate to the band - Ishimori's being "6" as there are five members in the band, and naturally Hi69's being "69". Mothball made an appearance at Great Voyage in Yokohama appearing at XX's entrance in their match against RATELS Daisuke Harada and Tadasuke.
