Description

Kyosuke Mikami (三上恭佑, Mikami Kyōsuke, born December 29, 1983) is a Japanese professional wrestler currently working under the ring name El Desperado (エル・デスペラード, Eru Desuperādo). He is signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is both the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion in his first reign, as well as one half of the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions in his third reign alongside Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Mikami was trained by the NJPW dojo and worked for NJPW for two years as a Young Lion. In 2012 he traveled to Mexico for a learning excursion, working for NJPW's Mexican affiliate Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as the masked character Namajague, a Spanish translation of Namahage, a Japanese folk demon. While in CMLL he won his first professional wrestling title alongside Okumura, the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, in March 2013. After being unmasked due to losing a match and briefly working without one, Mikami returned to NJPW in January 2014 and was repackaged under another mask as El Desperado.
