Giant Baba always planned for the long term, and from the very beginning he saw a bright future for Kobashi.

So Giant Baba did what any smart booker did: he booked Kobashi to lose his first 63 matches. But this wasn’t a condemnation to a career of insignificance.

With each loss, Kobashi got ever closer to winning. A kick out here, a second wind there. He kept trying and trying, never giving up.
