Does anyone know if Ota, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Kody Fuyuki or Kintaro Kanemuta had any regular nicknames they used in FMW (like how Ricky Fuji was "Sexy Storm")?

Yes. Every wrestler had their own nick name Hayabusa was Fushichō = Phoenix, Oya was Backdrop of the Soul, Kanemura was Unreasonable Boy and then after Fuyuki died he was Heavy Smoker, Fuyuki was Unreasonable King and before that he was Macho Body, Pogo was Great King, Kuroda was Saikou = the best, the most supreme, Gannosuke was Kishindo = Revenge, Tanaka was Dangan = Bullet, and Hosaka was Wild Bear.
