(2013–2015) On January 22, 2013, announced that he would be returning to professional wrestling for the Diamond Ring promotion on February 11. Taru's return match, where he and Kazunari Murakami faced Kento Miyahara and Taishi Takizawa, ended in a no contest, following run-ins from "brother" Yasshi and Kengo Nishimura. Afterwards, Taru, Murakami, Yasshi and Nishimura, reforming the Voodoo Murders, were defeated in an eight-man tag team match by Miyahara, Takizawa, Satoshi Kajiwara and Mitsuhiro Kitamiya. After the match, Miyahara and Takizawa turned on their partners and joined the new Voodoo Murders, with Yasshi positioned as the leader. The new Voodoo Murders would decrease their appearances in Diamond Ring in favor of Pro Wrestling Zero1 (Zero1), where they moved to after the former promotion's demise. Pro Wrestling Zero1 (2015–present) Voodoo Murders would debut in Zero1 attacking Kamikaze and feuding with him. However, Kamikaze would then turn on his teammates and join Taru. Voodoo Murders then allied with Daemon Ueda's Daemon-gun, forming a super stable unofficially named VD-gun. On January 3, 2015, AJPW announced that Taru would be returning to the promotion on January 31 to take part in Giant Baba's memorial event. This would mark his first match for the promotion in four years. In the match, Taru and Jinsei Shinzaki defeated Taiyō Kea and Yuto Aijima.
