He is the lead vocal, producer and director of the music group World Order,[3] which is known for their techno music style and highly synchronised robotic choreography. Sudo is a retired mixed martial artist and a kickboxer who, until December 31, 2006 competed in the Japanese fighting organization HERO'S and before that, the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Pancrase. He is notable for his elaborate ring entrances[4] and unorthodox fighting style.[5] His philosophy is "We are all one."[6] He is a practicing Buddhist.[7] Signature moves include the flying triangle and spinning backfist. Over his career he holds notable wins over Nate Marquardt, Eric "Butterbean" Esch, Mike Brown, Kazuyuki Miyata, Hiroyuki Takaya, and Damacio Page.
Career
Amateur era
Genki Sudo was born in Koto Ward in Tokyo, Japan on March 8, 1978. His father is a chef and the manager of his seafood restaurant "Isokou"(磯幸).
He started practicing Greco-Roman wrestling during high school.
After graduating high school, he attended Takushoku Junior College beginning in 1996, and graduating in 1998. During this time in college, he won JOC Cup All Japan Junior Wrestling Championship.
In April 1998, Genki moved to the United States and enrolled in Santa Monica College, but dropped out soon after. During his time in Los Angeles, he joined the Beverly Hills Jiu-Jitsu Club and practiced Brazilian jiu jitsu.
Professional MMA
Genki started his professional career in shoot promotion Pancrase, defeating Kosei Kubota by unanimous decision in his first fight.
On December 21, 2001, Sudo fought against Kenichi Yamamoto at Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, and won by Rear Naked Choke.[8] Prior to the match, Sudo and Yamamoto promised to bet Yamamoto's UFC championship belt on the outcome. Following his win, Sudo was given the belt by Yamamoto, and Sudo was introduced as "UFC Japan Champion" by media after this bout. As the bet was personal, he is not sanctioned as champion by Zuffa.
K-1
Sudo participated in a K-1 tournament in 2002. He lost in the semi finals.
A fighter with great striking ability, he has won fights by flashy knockout in both mixed martial arts and kickboxing. Among the rather unorthodox techniques that he favors and can use effectively are the spinning backfist, a flying leg-triangle choke and flying armbar, as well as dancing and turning his back to opponents in order to taunt or distract them.
Hero's
Genki Sudo was defeated by K-1 HERO's lightweight champion Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto. The fight was won by a controversial referee stoppage after Sudo was knocked down by a right hand which was followed by some punches.[10]
Retirement
At K-1 Dynamite! on December 31, 2006 he defeated Damacio Page by submission.[11] After his win, and to the shock of the crowd, Sudo announced his retirement.[12]
After retirement
Prior to his retirement on New Year's Eve Sudo fought for K-1 HERO's, the mixed martial arts branch of the most popular Japanese combat sports circuit. Sudo is well known for his particularly flashy choreographed ring entrances that often include costumed dancers. One entrance featured Sudo doing the robot and operating levers that released a column of smoke from the top of his head while wearing a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket as a hat and a white plastic mask, in an homage to the musician Buckethead.
On August 1, 2009, Genki Sudo and his office made an official statement to say information on Wikipedia was wrong. According to their statement, the bout between Sudo and Tiki Ghosn was originally declared a draw which was overturned after Sudo’s corner man, Bas Rutten, objected, at which point Sudo was declared the winner and given a medal.[13][14]
Sudo has written eight books, is married, and has started an amateur baseball team for people 30 and over. He is also a member of the musical group World Order. Sudo writes lyrics, composes, and choreographs.
In 2008, he accepted the position of Manager for Takushoku University’s wrestling team. In the 2009 Eastern Japan University League Games, the 2009 All Japan University Greco-Roman Championship Tournament, and the 2010 All Japan University Wrestling Conference, he was awarded the prize for Best Manager. In addition, he led the team to victory in the 2010 All Japan Student Wrestling Championship, and in his second year as manager Takushoku University was victorious at all four of the biggest student wrestling tournaments. In 2010, he was made the Japanese representative manager for the World University Championship.
Sudo was cast in Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate (仮面ライダーＷ（ダブル） FOREVER AtoZ／運命のガイアメモリ) in 2010 as Kyosui Izumi, member of NEVER and user of the T2 Luna Memory. He reprised his role in Kamen Rider Eternal, in Kamen Rider W Returns which was released on July 21, 2011. He has also finished filming his part of the movie The R246 Story.[15]
Graduate school
On January 25, 2010, Genki took the entrance examination of Takushoku University Graduate School and he was admitted to the school on January 29. He entered the Local Government Course (Master’s Program) of the Graduate School of Local Government.[16]
On April 8, 2010 he received his Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu under Yoshinao Watanabe at Triforce Academy.[1]
