Takayuki Ueki (植木嵩行) is a Japanese professional wrestler trained by and signed to Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW).He is currently in his third reign as one third of the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Champions.

Professional wrestling career
A former police officer in Kanagawa Prefecture, Ueki would join the Big Japan dojo in April 2013 and would then make his pro-debut on December 15, 2013 against Kankuro Hoshino. The following year he teamed up with the Brahman Brothers as Ueki would began to be known for his comedic tones and utilizing his former profession as part of his character. Sometimes brandishing a gun, that was hidden in his gear, he would always cause his opponents to be caught dead in their tracks wondering what was going on. Or worse he would take then as hostages at gun point. This making him unique in a way since guns are not something that people, even sometimes police officers, carry in Japan. He would capture his first career win in August of 2014 after pinning Kankuro Hoshino in a 6 man tag match. Then in September he would take part in his first ever death match, which was a TVLC 6 Man Tag death match. Which he would follow this up with his first ever Fluorescent Light-tube match the following month. He would close out the year by being honored by Tokyo Sport’s rookie of the year award.

His would begin to compete in several other promotions in 2015, from DDT, Michinoku Pro-Wrestling. As for back in BJW, he would claim his first ever death match win after beating Masato Inaba in a barbed-wire board death match on April 29. A few days later in K-DOJO he would compete in KAIENTAI DOJO’s “K-METAL LEAGUE 2015” and would make it to the finals only to lose to K-DOJO’s Kotaro Yoshino. He would follow that loss up though by winning his first ever title with the BJW Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Champions in June along with the Brahman Brothers.

In 2016 he began focusing more on his singles career. After a series with Masaya Takahashi, the two formally announced that they would form a team as they would become known as the 3rd Generation Chimidoro Brothers. The two would won the Yokohama Shopping Street 6-Man Tag Team Champions along with Abdullah Kobayashi on July 24, 2016.
