For many years he wrestled under a mask as Shiryu (Growing Dragon) in the Japanese independents. After unmasking, Hayashi joined World Championship Wrestling in 1998 and was relegated to a jobber and comedy character. He then formed the stable Jung Dragons along with Jamie-San and Yang, primarily feuding with 3 Count. His contract was bought by World Wrestling Entertainment when WCW folded in 2001, however he instead headed back to his native country of Japan to wrestle.

After returning to Japan, Hayashi eventually decided to join All Japan Pro Wrestling due to his friendship with Keiji Muto and established himself as one of their top stars, winning the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship and both the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship and the AJPW All-Asia Tag Team Championship with Satoshi Kojima. In 2006, Hayashi won the 2006 Junior Heavyweight Singles League Championship.

PEPE Michinoku (TAKA Michinoku), El NOSAWA Mendoza (NOSAWA-Rongai), and Miguel Hayashi Jr (Kaz Hayashi) formed a team during the AJPW Champion's Carnival called Mexico Amigos. Nobutaka Araya joined the team after Six-Man Action between Mexico Amigos and Araya/Fuchi/Hirai at the Carnival's final show.
