Was Ryo Chonan always "The Piranha"?

For some reason I can't get the idea out of my head that as recently as 2006 he was known as "The Shark." Am I wrong about that? Did he change his nickname? And if he wasn't The Shark, who in Pride (specifically Bushido) was?

Sherk fought in Bushido 2 under "The muscle shark", perhaps that's who you're thinking of.

No, definitely not. I'm thinking of an asian fighter. It's driving me nuts. Even when I say Ryo "The Shark" Chonan, it sounds right, or like I've heard that a lot.

You've got it the wrong way, sitnspin.

He's "Shark" now, but used to be "Piranha".
But yeah, Chonan was/is both of those two.
And there's definitely something fishy about him.

Ah-HA! Thanks, Gooner. This all started because Subgenius wrote something about Chonan and called him The Piranha, and I thought, "He's not the Piranha, he's The Shark. And when I went to Fight Finder to prove it, they had him listed as The Piranha. I thought I was going crazy.

Thanks again for clearing that up.

He looks more like a Mahi-Mahi.

**Gooner** · 02-20-2007 04:36 PM

I always thought he looked like a perfect Bond-villain.
Pure evil.

Chonan just totally fits the role of "dude you do NOT want to **** with'. I could easily see him as a Yakuza in a feature film
