Yuki Takizawa (滝澤 雄樹 Takizawa Yūki?, born September 3, 1985) is a Japanese professional wrestler better known by the ring name Taishi Takizawa (滝澤 大志 Takizawa Taishi?). Trained by Taka Michinoku, Takizawa has spent most of his career working for his Kaientai Dojo promotion. From December 2011 to June 2012, Takizawa was signed to WWE, working in its developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling under the ring name Jiro.
Takizawa made his professional wrestling debut for Kaientai Dojo on January 7, 2006 where he teamed with Hiro Tonai and Randy Takuya and lost to Chushin Fujisawa, Kaji Yamato and TAKU Michinoku.
