Character Name: Masuda Teijin
Nickname: n/a
Hometown: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 225 lbs.
Alignment: neutral
In-Ring Style: Strong Style w/ some high flying
Bio: Teijin was born into a fugue state, having a mother who was Japanese and a father of Hawaiian descent, which led to him holding dual citizenship with Japan and America. He grew up on the Big Island until his teens when the family uprooted for the big city life of Yokohama. Teijin looked to his uncle, the late Masuda Jubei, for guidance after his parents divorced. There he learned two things that molded him into the man he is today: toughness and a love of professional wrestling.
He has since disowned his father’s memory and everything he represented. Besides getting a share of uncle’s business in the years before Jubei’s death, he practically sewed himself to his uncle’s coattails until adulthood—a sponge learning every secret his uncle had for business and beyond.
Jubei’s death came at an inopportune time for young Teijin because he was on the cusp of getting big offers from the premier companies. His uncle’s death rocked their family to shambles. Even more, authorities investigating the infamous Masuda Corporation found multiple wrongdoings and illegal practices in their books. Enough violations to close the company’s books while seizing a large swath of its assets. Among those frozen accounts were funds Teijin and his large household depended upon. It led to two major down spirals in his young life. Something his entire family would rather blame on the world than themselves.
Those tears down his mother’s cheek revived a spirit of vengeance, what he believes inhabits a skull mask Teijin wears to the ring, extra attire he believes can rally his uncle spirit. While not a superstitious person, Teijin came to enjoy his mask, adopting the persona of Goryu, a vengeful spirit of an aristocrat martyred doing what he loved most: wrestling. After a string of embarrassing defeats, Teijin has since devoted to the name Masuda for strength and clarity. He's still a shithead.
Attire:
Entrance: Violet/navy blue coat with skulls and spikes, a creepy metal mask (supposedly his uncle’s actual death mask). Ring Gear: Black full-length tights and boots with blue trim, blue kneepads with silvery embossed skulls, and taped wrists.
Theme song: “Choke" (acoustic) - I Don't Know How The Found Me
Pic Base: Sanada (Blonde)
Entrance: Several long pulses of blue light flashbang the arena before going completely dark. His music summons boos from across the arena. At this point, “Daremo Shiranai” by 9mm Parabellum Bullet reaches the chorus, bringing Goryu to the stage while the lights remain low like a blue dusk. Teijin wears the metallic imprint of his uncle’s death mask along with a leather azure coat studded by miscellaneous bits of metal shaped like skulls and spines. He then punches the ground, and with an uplifting palm, plays up a short burst of blinding white pyro firing off around him.
Adeline Floyd: On his way to the ring from Yokohama, Japan… weighing 230 pounds… Masuda Teijin!
Tejin walks slow but assuredly to the apron but stops. He takes in the chorus before removing the metal mask, unveiling his messy mounds of blonde-tipped hair and beard. Goryu circles to the far side of the ring for a flyby of the commentary table, letting his open coat ripple by them. He then hops onto the apron with a couple spins to where he’s leaning off ropes and holding his uncle mask towards the audience. A ducking step into the ring brings him and that metallic visage to the ring’s center. There his final presentation—exacerbated by boos and the song’s rapid drumbeat—ends with him hanging the mask on his chosen turnbuckle. He then disrobes to his ring gear and leans in the corner for everything to begin.
Favorite moves (at least 15 moves): Strong Style: hard chops, punt kicks and super kicks, head butt
Aerial moves: asai moonsault (not often), rolling knee off the top rope, diving crucifix pin
Suplexes: vertical suplex, snap saito suplex (warm up), tiger driver, stalling butterfly suplex (loves to do this on the apron), release t-bone suplex
Submissions: headlocks, standing surfboard stretch, ARMBARS (esp. on counters), ankle lock counters
Miscellaneous: dragon screw, back body drop, tornado DDT, scoop slam, fall away slam w/ theatrics
Signature move(s): 1) Rope Hung Armbar (illegal)
