{{nihongo|'''Yoshihiro Yamazaki'''|山崎 佳宏|Yamazaki Yoshihiro|born October 20, 1970}}<ref name=OWOW/> is a Japanese [[professional wrestling|professional wrestler]], best known for being the fourth man to portray {{nihongo|'''[[Tiger Mask (professional wrestling)|Tiger Mask]]'''|タイガーマスク|Taigā Masuku}}. He primarily works for [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW) where he is a former 6-time [[IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion]] and 2-time [[IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion]]. Having competed as Tiger Mask since 1995, he is the longest tenured incarnation of the character.

==Career==
The young Yamazaki was originally trained by the original [[Tiger Mask (professional wrestling)|Tiger Mask]] ([[Satoru Sayama]]) and [[Great Sasuke|The Great Sasuke]] and unlike the [[Mitsuharu Misawa|second]] and [[Koji Kanemoto|third]] Tiger Masks, Yamazaki has been endorsed by Sayama himself. He also traveled to Mexico where he trained in ''[[lucha libre]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.njpw.com/fighters/tigermask.shtml |title=NJPW.com >> Fighters >> 4th Tiger Mask |access-date=2009-08-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120211247/http://www.njpw.com/fighters/tigermask.shtml |archive-date=2008-11-20 }}</ref>

===Michinoku Pro Wrestling (1995–2001)===
He made his professional wrestling debut in 1995 for [[Michinoku Pro Wrestling]] (Michinoku Pro/MPW) and became the fourth Tiger Mask, succeeding [[Koji Kanemoto]]. While working for Michinoku Pro Tiger Mask won the "APEX OF TRIANGLE" Six Man Tag Team Championship with his trainer the Great Sasuke and [[Gran Hamada]]. Just over a year into his wrestling career Tiger Mask won the [[UWA World Middleweight Championship]] and held it for 3 months before being forced to vacate the title due to an injury.<ref name="UWATitle">{{cite book|title=Wrestling Title Histories|last1=Duncan|first1=Royal|last2=Will|first2=Gary|publisher=Archeus Communications|edition=4th|year=2006|page=398|isbn=0-9698161-5-4}}</ref> After returning from his injury Tiger Mask spent a couple of years working mid card and lower main event matches until he was finally given another run with a singles title when he won a tournament to crown a new [[British Commonwealth Junior Heavyweight Championship|British Commonwealth Jr. Heavyweight Champion]] in [[London]], [[England]]. Despite it being called "British Commonwealth", the title was mainly promoted in Japan. Tiger Mask would later vacate the title due to an injury but was given a second reign with the title in 2000 that would last exactly one year shortly before Tiger Mask left Michinoku Pro.<ref name="BritishTitle">{{cite book|title=Wrestling Title Histories|last1=Duncan|first1=Royal|last2=Will|first2=Gary|publisher=Archeus Communications|edition=4th|year=2006|page=415|isbn=0-9698161-5-4}}</ref>

After leaving M-Pro, Yamazaki trained with [[mixed martial artist]] and fellow Sayama trainee [[Enson Inoue]]. Management of [[Pride Fighting Championships]] proposed him to compete in mixed martial arts with his mask on, but he declined after receiving a better offer to wrestle for [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]]. The same year, there was a suggestion of making [[Guy Mezger]] fight at Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye replacing Yamazaki under the Mask, but he similarly refused.<ref name=Files>{{cite book|title=Pride: The Secret Files|date=2008|publisher=Kamipro|language= ja}}</ref>

===New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2002–present)===
Tiger Mask made his NJPW debut on January 20, 2002, and at first wrestled as a Michinoku Pro star and not a full-time worker. In December 2002, he officially joined NJPW, and quickly rose in the contenders ranks in the Junior Heavyweight division. On April 23, 2003, Tiger Mask was booked to win the [[IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship]] from then champion [[Koji Kanemoto]].<ref name="strongenergy">{{cite web |url= http://puroresufan.com/njpw/results/energy03.php |title=NJPW Strong Energy tour results |access-date=2007-07-08 |publisher=Strong Style Spirit |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070819095120/http://www.puroresufan.com/njpw/results/energy03.php <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2007-08-19}}</ref> Tiger Mask's first IWGP reign came to an end in December 2003, when he had to vacate the title due to an injury.<ref name="IWGPJr">{{cite web |url= http://puroresufan.com/njpw/history/jrtitle.php |title=IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship title history |access-date=2009-01-11 |publisher=Strong Style Spirit |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080822142137/http://www.puroresufan.com/njpw/history/jrtitle.php <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2008-08-22}}</ref> Tiger Mask returned with renewed strength and won the [[Best of the Super Juniors#2004|2004 Best of the Super Juniors]] tournament where he beat the then IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion [[Minoru Tanaka (wrestler)|Heat]] in the semi-finals and Koji Kanemoto in the finals to win the annual tournament.<ref name=PWI500-2004>{{cite news|title=Pro Wrestling illustrated 500 - 2004 :84 Tiger Mask IV|work=[[Pro Wrestling Illustrated]]|publisher=Sports and Entertainment publications LLC|location=Blue Bell, [[Pennsylvania]], [[United States]]|id=December 2004|page=27|date=October 2004}}</ref> It wouldn't be until 2005 that Tiger Mask was able to recreate his semi final victory to defeat Heat for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title.<ref name="IWGPJr"/> Tiger Mask also won the [[Best of the Super Juniors#2004|2005 Best of the Super Juniors]] making him the first and only wrestler to win the tournament two years in a row until the record would be shared by [[Hiromu Takahashi]] in 2021.

[[File:Tiger Mask VI 2013.JPG|thumb|left|Tiger Mask in September 2013.]]
When New Japan decided to create several "Brands", Tiger Mask was appointed as an '[[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Ace|ace]]' of Wrestle Land alongside [[Hiroshi Tanahashi]] but ended up wrestling 2 matches under the WRESTLE LAND Brand. In July 2008, Tiger Mask defeated [[Fergal Devitt|Prince Devitt]] in a tournament final to become a four-time IWGP World Jr. Heavyweight champion. On the "Circuit 2008 New Japan Generation" tour [[Low Ki]] ended Tiger Mask's reign.
