Actually I hear it screaming "Cut me back to potensai; I'm not a bush!"

If this will tolerate heavy pruning, I'd pick a leader and a first branch and cut everything else off. I'd cut the leader back hard, the first branch not quite so, wire for shape and start building branch structure.

This could be a fine shohin or mame in a few years.
