The participants were separated into two separate blocks; Shigeo Okumura, Nobukazu Hirai, Hideki Hosaka, Hi69, Mitsuya Nagai and Ryuji Hijikata were in "Block A" and Nobutaka Araya, Yaz Urano, Tomoaki Honma, Gran Naniwa, Kazushi Miyamoto, and Masato Tanaka were in "Block B".
In April 2009, Honma showed his loyalty to Makabe by remaining by his side, when the rest of GBH turned on him and left the group to form CHAOS with Shinsuke Nakamura.

Honma's characteristically hoarse voice is the result of crushed vocal chords, a problem also suffered by Kohei Sato and Genichiro Tenryu.

In February, 2003, he formed Turmeric Storm with Kazushi Miyamoto, but the team later disbanded on April 20, 2004, after losing a trial series.
