Based on the publicly available results of all matches in Japan, here are the top five wrestlers in each weight class. There is always room for debate, and there may be some errors in the data, but... these are rankings are right ;-) 1. Kurt Chapman (Kadena) 7-0 This reigning Far East champ has not let up in the slightest. Wins against Dylan (#5 at 168), Joshua (#5), and Jo (#4) indicate Kurt is no paper tiger (er, Panther). 2(t). Owen Taylor (Yokota) 3-0 Making the most of his prior Far East experience, Owen is propelling the Panthers to the pinnacle of the D2 field. Tech-tech-pin. 2(t). Takatoshi Kanemura (CAJ) 3-0 Scoring 51 points in his three matches so far, you know you're going to see fireworks when Takatoshi is on the mat. He's got wins over Jo (#4) and Harald (#4 at 180). 4. Jo Inoue (St. Mary's) 4-2 Having a 4th place Far East finish in his resume, Jo has held his own against the best wrestlers this year. He beat Joshua (#5) and Dylan (#5 at 168) while losing to Takatoshi (#2) and Kurt (#1). 5. Joshua Hernandez (Kinnick) 3-3 Picking up pins against opponents from three different schools, Joshua's losses have come to Dylan (#5 at 168), Jo (#4), and Kurt (#1). He wins the ones you should and is competitive against higher ranked wrestlers.
