Biography: Arguably one of the most controversial names in all of combat sports, the "Shoot Terrorist" Ryo Inoue has waged a war of philosophy and pride for almost two decades. Despite breaking into pro-wrestling as a high-flyer for Neo Japan Pro-Wrestling, Inoue would find greater success as an idealistic shoot fighter after incorporating the sports he competed in during his youth into his wrestling style, effectively creating the "Shoot Terrorist." Inoue gained fame in the Japan Pro-Wrestling Association due to his grand standing challenges towards JPA owner Genji Yamato. He is also noted for creating one of the more influential factions in wrestling: Total Attack Pro-Wrestling. While the group has seen different versions throughout the years, the result is always the same with Ryo Inoue as its leader: Destruction.

Biography: Tetsuhisa Nakagawa entered pro-wrestling as a second generation star, inheriting a legacy thanks to his late father, Kendo NAKAI. Kendo NAKAI was one of Japan's more notorious heels during the 70's and 80's, and is also responsible for discovering a young amateur grappler named Masaaki Komura, who would go on later to become Kazuma Fujita. After his father's untimely passing in the late 90's, Tetsuhisa began training under Kazuma Fujita, learning what his father had taught him decades before. The two shared a close relationship for years, even after Tetsuhisa finally debuted in late 2002, leading to the creation of Pro-Wrestling FURY. Despite wanting to strike out using his own name early on, Tetsuhisa Nakagawa became Tetsuhisa NAKAI towards the end of the year after engaging in a heated generation rivalry with Hiroaki Nakata. NAKAI would win his first championship in 2003 -- doing so by finally earning a hard-sought victory over Nakata. NAKAI would remain a top figure in Pro-Wrestling FURY until controversially leaving the promotion in 2007. After expanding his pro-wrestling ideology in the form of competing in "garbage" death matches, NAKAI was brought back to FURY at the request of generation rival -- now friend, Hiroaki Nakata. NAKAI would remain with the promotion until quitting once more towards the end of 2011, citing philosophical differences with the promotion's direction. He would make a very brief return to the FURY ring in 2012, competing on the promotion's tenth anniversary -- and final card. NAKAI returned to the independent scene, instantly shaking up several smaller regional promotions with his arrival. In 2015, NAKAI answered KJPW's call after declaring "ALL BORDERS OPEN." While his allegiance is never clear, NAKAI remains one of the strongest heavyweights in Japan.

Biography: Hiroaki Nakata graduated from the Kazuma Fujita dojo in 2002 with a great deal of hype surrounding him due to his credentials in amateur wrestling, which include the All-Japan Nationals and a silver medal in the Pan-Asian Championships. Nakata debuted on an independent event in August of 2002 that would be the inception for Pro-Wrestling FURY, formed later in the year. Nakata quickly rose to the top as Ace of the promotion, where he would begin a bitter -- and eventual friendly rivalry with second-generation star Tetsuhisa NAKAI. While other stars would emerge, Nakata remained a constant throughout the promotion's 10-year lifespan, holding both of the group's most prestigious titles: the UJPW Heavyweight title, and later the KOF Heavyweight title, in addition to winning the company's annual tournament held in November on two occasions. Nakata found himself as something of a controversial figure after quitting the promotion with a collection of other wrestlers, including Tetsuhisa NAKAI. While Nakata would eventually return, he would not follow the wrestlers who would go on to form KJPW. However to the surprise of many, Nakata made a surprising return to the national stage after KJPW publically declared "ALL BORDERS OPEN!" He has also dabbled as an promoter after a series of successful events under the "BREAK BLOW" banner... Perhaps reaching the end of his athletic prime, the "Renaissance Fighter" looks to make one last claim to the throne of "World's Strongest."

Biography: Norihiro Akashi debuted from Pro-Wrestling FURY's dojo in mid 2007 amidst much hype due his work ethic, in addition to winning several amateur wrestling championships. Akashi struggled early on to live up to the expectations promoters and fans both put on him. A successful American tour in 2009 saw Akashi return to Japan for his first attempt at becoming a main eventer. Akashi immediately made waves by challenging the notorious Ryo Inoue for FURY's top crown. However, the infamous legend was too much for him to overcome. During the final days of Pro-Wrestling FURY, Akashi finally reached the top by beating Naoki Fukuda for FURY's Heavyweight title. Unfortunately, Akashi's would slump once again after dropping the title in his first defense. Akashi would vanish from the public eye for the next year as he traveled the world learning and experiencing the various styles of pro-wrestling different locales had to offer. Akashi returned in early 2013, crashing a KJPW press conference uninvited. The controversial event earned Akashi entry into KJPW's ring, albeit as an outsider. Akashi stunned Japan by wrestling the HEC Heavyweight Title from the man who ended his run as champion, TAKU. Akashi has become a very mysterious figure in the last few years. Once again a lone wolf, Norihiro Akashi sets out on coloring the pro-wrestling world with his unique flavor.

His fiery spirit and charming personality won him many fans across Japan, leading to him becoming the second incarnation of the popular Kinaki Kamen character. Watching Akashi and Tsuji rise in rank, Sasaki suddenly dropped the comical character to rededicate himself to pro-wrestling... Unfortunately, Sasaki would find little success in the following year. The closing days of Pro-Wrestling FURY saw Sasaki return to his "entertainment" ways after debuting the "S☆S Star" character -- a take/parody on pretentious J-rock performers. The character initially earned Sasaki criticism. However, S☆S Star persisted -- and eventually begun to win over fans across various independents in 2014.

Okazaki showed exceptional coordination with natural charisma, making him a shoe-in for BSPW's ranks. However, the 2002 formation of a promotion based around Fujita's graduations saw his future take a different direction as Okazaki quietly made his debut on an August 14, 2002 independent card promoted by Fujita himself in what would be the foundation for Pro-Wrestling FURY, which was founded later that year. Okazaki stood out among the fresh faces thanks to his overflowing charisma. While a strong supporting player, Okazaki would not win his first championship until 2005 after dethroning ATSUKA for FURY's Jr. Heavyweight crown. 2007 saw a turning point for his career after turning heel. Now "The Outlaw," Okazaki rose to new heights after developing his new "Otokogoroshi" finishing move, leading him to his second reign as FURY's Jr. Heavyweight Champion. Okazaki would remain a central figure in their ranks until the company finally closed in late 2012. Through friendships formed in FURY, Okazaki would wrestle across various independent promotions with the former members of FURY including ATSUKA and Yoshihiro Shimoda. While many of his contemporaries would sign would KJPW in 2013, Okazaki instead chose to travel the world, wrestling in Europe, the United States, and most prominently in Mexico, where he formed a strong friendship with fellow traveling Japanese wrestlers Wataru Yamada and Keisuke Rongai. After the three won gold in early 2015, the trio returned to Japan to announce their invasion of KJPW! KyouHonGan were born.

Biography: A product of revered teacher Ryo Suzuki, Hayato Saigo debuted for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON in 2003. Thanks to his background in gymnastics, Saigo stood out as a top-flight junior. Through three reigns as CRIMSON's Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Saigo cemented his status as the strongest Junior to come from the Iwate-based promotion. Saigo's talents found himself branching out to other organizations, including Pro-Wrestling FURY where he struck a friendship with fellow Okinawan Fumihiko Shirai. Along with Kotaro Ota, the three formed the popular "Super Speed Stars" trio, an evolved version of Ota and Shirai's usual "Okinawa Speed Stars" gimmick. Saigo's home promotion struggled after the devastating north-eastern Tsunami, ultimately forcing the promotion to close its doors. Despite keeping his former haunt in his heart, Saigo continued wrestling across various independents, in addition to promoting his own local events for the Iwate region, along with his home region of Okinawa. In 2013, Saigo reappeared on the national stage as an outside participant in the inaugural "King of the Super Juniors" tournament. Amidst a stacked field, Saigo shocked fans by downing Yoshihiro Shimoda in the finals to become the first HEC Jr. Heavyweight Champion. Saigo would go on to rack up big wins over Kotaro Ota and ATSUKA before dropping the title to Jet Jaguar on New Year's Eve. During KJPW's relaunch in early 2015, Saigo was revealed to have signed a one-year contract with KJPW, making a full-time member of the roster. Saigo has since embraced his new home, while still carrying the flame for his former haunt, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON.

Biography: Yoshihiro Shimoda graduated as part of the 3rd term class of Kazuma Fujita's FURY dojo. Shimoda debuted for the dojo's namesake promotion in late 2002, where he showed immediate potential. Due to having a background in various martial arts during his youth, Shimoda found himself taken in by former vale tudo fighter, turned FURY wrestler Kenji Tanamura. Shimoda first gained an identity as part of Tanamura's stable/brand Fighting Union Revolt "y".(FUR"y" for short.) While excelling in the pure-fighting style Tanamura's tutelage provided, Shimoda broke out from Tanamura's shadow the following year by winning FURY's Jr. Heavyweight Title in a one-night tournament. Shimoda would hold the championship until dropping it exactly one-year later to his senpai, ATSUKA. 2004 would be a big year for Shimoda as well after winning the highly prestigious interpromotional tournament, J*TOP. The victory was not just a keystone moment for Shimoda, but for Pro-Wrestling FURY itself after being thrust into the national stage for the first time. The following year, Shimoda returned to the top of FURY's Junior rankings by winning the J1-WORLD League tournament. Shimoda eventually found himself branching outside of FURY in a series of local events in Hokkaido co-produced by he and mentor Jin Hiroto. Feeling his generation was in danger of being surpassed by new stars coming up, Shimoda shockingly turned heel to align with generational comrades ATSUKA and Kyoto Okazaki. Since then, Shimoda has remained close with ATSUKA. The two comprise the powerful "Jr. KINGS" team that stands as gatekeepers to the new generation of junior stars. Like many of the FURY juniors, Shimoda found himself signed by KJPW in 2013 to bolster its newly established Jr. Heavyweight division. Without question, Shimoda is a one-of-a-kind talent who has achieved immense success. He has become a celebrity-like figure in his native Hokkaido and speaks out for many local causes.

Biography: Otsuka was the first product of Kazuma Fujita's FURY dojo after debuting for Burning Spirit Pro-Wrestling in 2001. Under the ring name of "Kanumaru Atsuka" (A name ATSUKA himself admits to making up on the fly,) Otsuka underwent the usual trials encountered as a rookie in pro-wrestling. However, frustration and a poor influence from vile rule breakers KANJI Sakaigama and Jin Hiroto led to Otsuka turning heel and joining the Anti-BSPW faction known as Black STAR. Now known as "ATSUKA," Otsuka remodeled himself as an eccentric personality, sometimes even wrestling as a pretentious alter-ego known simply as "Action Star!" after a successful break into Japanese TV. Ultimately however, ATSUKA failed to climb to the top of BSPW's junior rankings, and found himself ousted from Black STAR. Now the source of ridicule and mocking from the very man who inspired him to strike out on his own, ATSUKA began a violent feud with KANJI Sakaigama that crossed multiple organizations. The climax of the rivalry saw ATSUKA finally defeat his "Senpai" on 8/31/03 at the site of the former Kawasaki Stadium. ATSUKA would eventually take his career full circle by joining Pro-Wrestling FURY, initially as a referee. However, this was a ploy to lure out Yoshihiro Shimoda, FURY's top Jr. Heavyweight enroute to becoming the group's Jr. Heavyweight Champion. ATSUKA would reform a team from earlier in his career with good friend YAKUTA. For the next few years, the two would be synonymous with one another, and would win tag team gold on two occasions. ATSUKA would be a stable fixture for FURY until taking its final breath in 2012. Since then, ATSUKA has formed the popular "OLD DOGS" wrestling troupe with former FURY stars such as Masato Osagawa, Yoshihiro Shimoda, Jet Jaguar, and Kyoto Okazaki, with several successful events under their belt. ATSUKA finally made his return to the national level by joining KJPW in April of 2013. The 2015 relaunch saw ATSUKA and the other members of KJPW's newly established "Jr. Seikigun" embark in a bitter feud against the villainous Kyou Hon Gan faction.

JET JAGUAR (ジェットジャガー)

Real Name: Unknown

Nickname: "HERO no yume" (Dream Hero)

Theme Music: "Honoo no Jaguar"

Weight: 94kg (207lbs)

Height: 175cm (5'9")

Debut: April 29, 2007 (vs. Shun Shiriashi)

Physical Appearance: Jaguar's body is athletic in figure, with a dark tan. Protruding from the back of his mask is long, flowing hair with a dark brown tone.

Ring Costume: Jet embodies the "masked hero" concept, and his costume reflects that. Despite his name, Jaguar's outfit reflects very little on the animal itself. His mask stands is black in color, exposing only his mouth. Three horns protrude at the top at equal distances. The mask itself features silver detailing to almost give off a metal-like effect. He wears a chest piece with similar colors, in addition to matching loose karate dougis. His arms are covered by elaborate bracers -- also sporting the black/silver colors. In recent years Jaguar has taken bigger influence from the "Metal Hero" genre of Japanese entertainment. For big matches, Jaguar will come to the ring wearing elaborate costumes inspired by various characters.

Biography: Trained by the greatest minds in wrestling including Kazuma Fujita, Jason Ramsey, and the original Jet Jaguar Shoji Suzuki, the third incarnation of the legendary masked hero captivated fans when he debuted in 2007 for Jason Ramsey's Superstar Pro-Wrestling group. Jaguar stood out as a top star for the fledgling independent promotion, winning the company's top junior title by the end of the year. Jaguar moved onto a larger stage the following year, debuting for Pro-Wrestling FURY. It was there Jaguar had his breakout rivalry against fellow masked wrestler Shin Kaiju. Both men would go on to headline FURY's annual Ryogoku Kokugikan event in an emotional mask vs. mask match that saw Jaguar finally topple FURY's Jr. Kingpin in front of the original Jet Jaguar, Shoji Suzuki. Jaguar would reign for the next three years off and on as the Ace of FURY's Jr. Heavyweights. When the company ceased operations for good in late 2012, Jaguar would form something of a traveling troupe with other former FURY juniors such as ATSUKA, Yoshihiro Shimoda, Kotaro Ota, Fumihiko Shirai, and Kyoto Okazaki. Together, the group would promote independent half pro-wrestling/variety show events across Japan under the "OLD DOGS PRO-WRESTLING" promotional banner. Jaguar, along with most of FURY's former juniors would finally return to the national stage on 5/31/2013 in a 14-man Cibernetico. Jaguar would be among the top performers -- only to be snubbed in the final round by former CRIMSON star Hayato Saigo. Jaguar would get revenge towards the end of the year, where he defeated Saigo to capture the HEC Jr. Heavyweight Title. Whether it's due to his talents or the character itself, Jet Jaguar is easily the most recognizable Jr. Heavyweight wrestler in Japan -- especially among children. His has had a long-lasting friendship with former Nansei Nihon star and fellow masked wrestler GALLEON. Together, the two form the popular "DREAM HEROES" duo. Despite his enormous appeal, Jet is a skilled fighter, capable of putting almost any opponent down if given the opportunity.

For years, Jaguar's identity has been the source of many rumors and speculation. Many point to former Jason Ramsey dojo graduate turned Pro-Wrestling ZION trueborn Yusuke Minekawa. Many fans report Minekawa wrestling in Mexico during an overseas excursion wearing a mask identical to the mask Jaguar wore upon his debut. Unfortunately, Yusuke reportedly retired from pro-wrestling in early 2007, and is rumored to have married a famous film star. He remains out of the public eye.
