Genki Horiguchi

堀口元気
Wiki ↗

Hiromasa Horiguchi (堀口博正, Horiguchi Hiromasa; born September 15, 1978) is a Japanese professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Genki Horiguchi (堀口元気, Horiguchi Genki). He is currently a full-time wrestler for Dragon Gate. He has also competed in Wrestling Society X and Ring of Honor. When Horiguchi's hairline began receding, the fans began to chant H-A-G-E (hage (禿) being Japanese for "baldness") at him. He managed to use this to gain a sort of cult popularity, and his catchphrase, "Who has called me hage?", is one of the best known in Japan. Hiromi Horiguchi, a wrestler currently working for Toryumon Mexico, was thought for some time to be Genki's brother, but the relationship was only a gimmick.
