Wrestler History:
Ichiro is the only son of puro legend and former GEW Omega Champion Arata Tanaka. For several years he was a well mannered and smart boy, enthralled with his father's work, vowing one day to be as great a wrester has he was. When his sister was born, Ichiro was noticeably protective of her, viewing himself as her guardian while their father was away.

Ichiro hit his first big roadblock in life when his father "abandoned him". The already overprotective child took it upon himself to help out his family anyway he could. At first this was limited to doing more around the house, whether it be cooking or cleaning. However, as time went on, Ichiro began to ditch school in order to steal from others so he could contribute to his family's income. Each and every passing day, he grew more and more resentful of his father. The man he once viewed as honorable and good had become monster in his eyes.

Despite this, Ichiro still had an undeniable longing to be in the ring - after all, it was in his blood. However, his focus had shifted from the strong style his father was known for, to a style that was raising in popularity, hardcore. While others referred to this style as garbage as a sign of disrespect, Ichiro took the term as a symbol of pride. Ichiro sought a teacher, finding one in an old rival of his father. Even while confined to a wheelchair, this man shaped Ichiro, teaching the basics of traditional Judo, brawling, and of course, hardcore.

Ichiro originally took on a gimmick similar to his teacher's, a mountain demon that came at night to steal away naughty children. It wasn't long before he dropped this, as the costume quickly turned into a hindrance in the ring. He eventually started to wrestle under his real name, and tore through the small Japanese hardcore circuit. His matches were noted as bloody affairs, where Ichiro rarely focused less on winning and more on inflicting pain. His boldness also earned him much attention, as he had no problem overwhelming men several times his size with sheer ferocity.

In June 2009, Arata came to visit his family, where Ichiro ended up assaulting him with a golf club. This event made Ichiro far more paranoid than before, following his sister to school and making sure she rarely left the house. Soon after, his sister ran away to America to be with their father, pushing the already unbalanced Ichiro over the edge. He began sending death threats to his father when no prove of her whereabouts were given, and when he finally confirmed his suspicions, he became to plot a way to come to America and take his revenge.
