Switchblade has been a part of the Survivor landscape since [[Rurouni Taikai I]] (which placed him in five whole tournaments before he was in one that was actually called Survivor). He hosted [[Rurouni Taikai Legends]] in the fall of 2003. One of his most notable achievements in Survivor is his recurring portrayal of [[Rikku]] from Final Fantasies X and X-2. In January of 2005 he gave his most successful performance to date by winning [[Survivor XV]] while sponsoring [[Longshot]] from the X-Men comic books. In spite of [[Neon Genesis Rurouni Taikai]]'s cancellation, he also considers himself to be the unofficial winner of that tournament, as well.

<small>* Switchblade originally signed up as a full sponsor with the character [[Sharkeye]], but after two rounds dropped down to sidekick status with [[Rikku]].<br></small>
<small>** NGRT was cancelled halfway through. At this point, [[Rikku]] was still an active sponsor. One of NGRT's co-hosts did declare Rikku the winner of the tournament.</small> 

Switchblade has also participated in the [[Rurouni Taikai Solid Beta Test]].
