It was revealed that Eto is <strong>Ryoto Mochizuki<\/strong>, his eldest son, and not much is known other than that. Although based on the pictures posted by Masaaki on Twitter, he seems to have a karate background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the main event, Ryoto scored the win in his debut match in the main event at Korakuen Hall. Afterward, Masaaki Mochizuki noted that <strong>M3K<\/strong> wasn\u2019t a one-night formation and they would be a regular force in Dragon Gate. The M3 stands for the three Mochizuki\u2019s in the unit, and the K is for Kanda. <strong>Ultimo Dragon<\/strong> came out and gave Ryoto the new name of <strong>Mochizuki Jr.<\/strong> after <strong>Dory Funk Jr<\/strong>. This is the first-ever second-generation star to come up through the Dragon System with a direct connection with someone in Dragon Gate. It&#8217;s also the first-ever father and son team in Dragon Gate. It&#8217;s safe to say the Mochizuki name will continue to liven up Dragon Gate for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
