History
First run (1999–2002)
Tencozy first began teaming up in 1998
Following the title loss, Tencozy largely spent most of 1999 representing nWo Japan against Masahiro Chono's new group: Team 2000.[16] The feud eventually would end in January 2000 when Chono defeated Mutoh to dissolve nWo Japan once and for all[17] and a few days later, Team 2000 had Tencozy joining them.[17]
A few months later, Tencozy would defeat Yuji Nagata and Manabu Nakanishi on July 20, 2000, to win the Tag Team Championship for the second time.
After the title loss, Tencozy began to show dissention with Chono and they finally split in October 2001, taking Hiro Saito, Tatsutoshi Goto, & Koji Kanemoto with them and splitting Team 2000.[22] The team then entered the 2001 G1 Tag League, despite losing their first 3 matches, the team would eventually persevere and win the remainder of the tournament eventually defeating Mike Barton and Jim Steele to win the tournament and their first G1 Tag League.

The win made Kojima the first person to hold both titles simultaneously. The two would face each other again in a rematch at Nexess VI on May 14, 2005, with Tenzan regaining the IWGP Heavyweight Title.[26]
