==Professional wrestling career==
===Osaka Pro Wrestling (2006&ndash;2009; 2010&ndash;2013; 2021&ndash;present)===
====Early years (2006&ndash;2009)====
In the run up to the 2006 Tennozan Finals, a brief video hyped up the debut of a mysterious new wrestler. That man was revealed to be Zeus, who would make his first appearance at that show, first bending a frying pan in a show of strength and then aligning himself with [[Kazuya Yuasa|Gaina]] & Condor, taking out the OPW Seikigun. Soon after joining forces, the group dubbed themselves "Bad Force". Nicknamed "God of Destroy", Zeus went undefeated for several months after his debut. He teamed up with Gaina to win the Osaka Pro Tag Title shortly afterwards,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=11268|title=Osaka Pro Saturday Night Story « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> but they would lose them at Hurricane 2007 to Hideyoshi & Masamune in a three-way match also featuring Tsubasa and Flash Moon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=11298|title=Osaka Pro Osaka Hurricane 2007 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> Zeus started to break out as a singles wrestler in late 2007, reaching the Tennozan final but losing to the Osaka Pro Champion, [[Atsushi Maruyama|Tigers Mask]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=15176|title=Osaka Pro Osaka Pro Story #40 ~ Tenno-Zan 2007 The Final! – Tag 4 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> [[Super Delfin]] then started to take an interest in Zeus, offering to teach him more about professional wrestling and give him further training. Despite the rest of Bad Force’s protests, Zeus accepted Delfin’s offer and eventually left the group. After Hurricane 2008, he started the rookie group Blood & Guts (B&G), recruiting [[Daisuke Harada]], [[Tadasuke]] and eventually [[Atsushi Kotoge]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=29&nr=394&name=Blood+And+Guts|title=Blood And Guts « Stables Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> to join.

In 2008, Zeus started to appear in other promotions, most notably facing and later teaming with veteran [[Toshiaki Kawada]] in [[Hustle (professional wrestling)|Hustle]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=40668|title=HUSTLE Hustle Tour 2008 – Tag 6 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> It was in Hustle that he picked up a clean singles win over former [[IWGP Heavyweight Championship|IWGP Heavyweight Champion]] [[Bob Sapp]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=27143|title=HUSTLE Hustle Tour 2008 – Tag 4 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> Zeus produced his own show in December and hinted at a major announcement at Hurricane 2009.  After defeating the [[The Bodyguard (wrestler)|Bodyguard]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=35847|title=Osaka Pro Osaka Hurricane 2009 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> Zeus announced that he was going to start training for a career in boxing and that he would be leaving the wrestling industry effective immediately.
====Return to OPW (2010&ndash;2013)====
After retiring from boxing, Obayashi announced his return to professional wrestling in July 2010. His in-ring return was delayed after he underwent further training and spent time to trying to build up body mass after losing a lot of weight for boxing. His official return to wrestling took place in November 2010 at Osaka Pro: Zeus Will Be Back, where he teamed with [[Daisuke Sekimoto]] to defeat [[Akebono Tarō|Akebono]] and [[Don Fujii]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=57733|title=Osaka Pro Zeus Will Be Back « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> Shortly after returning, Zeus re-ignited his old rivalry with the Bodyguard. The two traded wins back and forth for months, but eventually formed a tag team in early 2011 after Bodyguard was kicked out of the Joker stable,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=29&nr=879&name=JOKER|title=JOKER « Stables Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> and Zeus saved him from an attack by the rest of Joker. Known collectively as the [[The Big Guns (professional wrestling)|Big Guns]], they would go on to hold the Osaka Pro Tag Title for a short time in early 2011. The Big Guns started to achieve major success in 2013, winning the [[Osaka Tag Festival]] and the Osaka Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship for the second time later that year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=102711|title=Osaka Pro Osaka Tornado Vol. 2 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> In the 2013 Tennozan, Zeus and Bodyguard faced each other in the finals with Zeus coming out victorious.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=105284|title=Osaka Pro Tennozan 2013 – Tag 5 « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref> On March 1, 2014, it was announced that Osaka Pro would be folding due to financial difficulties. On April 20, all of its workers became freelancers. It was later announced that the promotion would continue under new management, but Zeus and Bodyguard eventually vacated their all of their championships, and on April 20 wrestled their last match in OPW, teaming with Quiet Storm in a losing effort against Billyken Kid, Bull Armor Takuya and [[Black Buffalo (wrestler)|Black Buffalo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=110269|title=Osaka Pro Osaka Holiday Paradise « Events Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database|first=Philip|last=Kreikenbohm|website=www.cagematch.net}}</ref>
