Biography:

Started out as garbage promotion Deadly Tokyo's top young prospect, quickly rising up their ranks. When Deadly Tokyo folded in 2000 Kaneda went on an excursion to America, where he became a mainstay of the Southern California indy scene. Returned to Japan two years later with a new heel attitude, and immediately became a popular mainstay of the indy scene at home.

First gained mainstream notoriety as the lead heel of the small Project BETA group, but quit the promotion when the opporunity to appear in Pro-Wrestling FURY arose at the start of 2003. Quickly left the promotion, however, heading for greener pastures in Oita Pro-Wrestling. While there Kaneda aligned with fellow rising stars Kazuya Ozaki, Naoyuki Tsuda and Takayumi Morita, the latter of which would become his long-time tag partner, the 4 forming the popular "Wild Hearts" group.

After Oita's closing in early 2004 Kaneda (along with Morita) returned to FURY, where he quickly helped establish a new branch of the Wild Hearts (later renamed WILD-V after Ryo Kitase joined). Scored two huge back-to-back wins by pinning Tetsuhisa NAKAI on 5/28/04, and winning the KFD Tag Team titles on 5/31/04 with Morita after beating long time champions Otsuo Kayusa and Kyoshima Yosuken. Kaneda followed that up with what many called an "MVP Performance" in the 2004 F-MAX WORLD LEAGUE, being the only wrestler not to be defeated in the block stages of the tournament. Unfortunately he lost to then-ace Tetsuhisa NAKAI in the finals of the
tournament, in a match was touted as FURY's Match of the Year by many. An internal conflict saw WILD-V fall apart (and Morita kicked out of the promotion), Kaneda picking up the pieces to form his new CHAOTIS unit.

On top of all of that, Kaneda signed a contract with the fledgling Victory Japan Pro Wrestling promotion. Both promotions would prove to be short lived, however, and now Kaneda finds himself reuniting with his "sworn brothers" to reform CHAOTICS in Ichimi Gun.
