Yōsuke Kobayashi (小林洋輔, Kobayashi Yōsuke) (born July 22, 1976), is a Japanese professional wrestler best known by his stage name Abdullah Kobayashi (アブドーラ小林, Abudōra Kobayashi) after Abdullah the Butcher, who was his trainer. He began his career in 1995 as one of the main wrestlers in Big Japan Pro Wrestling in the Deathmatch division and has wrestled for Big Japan Pro Wrestling throughout most of his career. He is well known for his very brutal deathmatches with the likes of Ryuji Ito and several other BJPW wrestlers. On June 26, 2010, Kobayashi made his American debut in Combat Zone Wrestling's Tournament of Death IX defeating Nick Gage in the first round but lost in the second to JC Bailey. In mid-2013, Kobayashi was diagnosed with hepatitis C, forcing him to take a long-term break from in-ring action to undergo treatment. He returned to the ring on August 10, 2014.
