Último Dragoncito (real name unrevealed; born August 8, 1972) is a Tapatío Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. Último Dragoncito is a part of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Mini-Estrella, or "Mini", division and is the only wrestler to hold the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship two times. Último Dragoncito is Spanish for "Little Last Dragon", alluding to the fact that he wrestles as a mini version of Último Dragón. Último Dragoncito's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He originally worked as Misteriosito from his debut until 1992 when he was given his current ring name.
The man who would later be known as Último Dragoncito was born on August 8, 1972 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. At the age of seven he became a big fan of Lucha libre, or professional wrestling, especially the enmascarado, or masked wrestler, known as Gallo Tapado ("The Hooded Rooster") who was a Guadalajara regular. Later on he began going to the gym to get in shape before approaching Diablo Velasco to possibly train him.Velasco turned him down, stating he was simply too short to be a luchador, standing at only 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) at the time. He suggested that maybe if he learned Olympic style wrestling he may have a chance. He began training with Cesar and Apolo Dantés, learning the wrestling basics and trained for with them for several years before actually being taught Lucha Libre.
