CHARACTER INFORMATIONAlignment: Cocky, Ruthless Heel.
Gimmick: To best describe Taekhiro Shimomura, he’s a mercenary of sorts. Shimomura joined professional wrestling in order to take down the legends of the game, of the sport itself, to slay those who are seen as the highest of the roster- the aces of Wrestleworld's roster. Setting targets on whomever he may see those fitting of extermination, not stopping until he gets the job done, by any means necessary. He’s also a cocky, grimy little shit. Being a cowardly asshole against those who step up to him, but that wouldn’t affect his end goal at all, that just fuels what kind of man he is.
RINGSIDE INFORMATIONTheme Music: “Can You Feel My Heart (Instrumental)” by Bring Me The Horizon.Entrance: (The drumming beats to the instrumental version of “Can You Feel My Heart” begins to play through the arena, the lights spiraling around the arena to a green hue and the entrance curtain swinging open to Taekhiro Shimomura to step out. Sporting his black and green wrestling tights, a large jacket covered in white and green fur wrapped around his body, and attached to the jacket being a Wolf’s severed head. The Hunter of Strong Style looked around to the crowd as they rained down the loud boos. The cocky grin on his face grows more as he just soaks in the negative reaction he receives.)
Ring Announcer: Introducing first/And his opponent… wrestling out of Shibuya City, Japan and weighing in tonight at two hundred and nine pounds… he is “The Wolf”... TAEEEEEKHIRROOOOOO SHIMOMURRRRRRAAAAAAA!!!!
(Shimomura begins a very slow walk to the ring, continuing to soak in the crowd’s negative reaction - all the while looking as masterful as he could - as he finally makes his way down to the ringside area. Shimomura makes his way up the steel steps, walking along the apron before heading through the middle ropes. His shit-eating grin as he spins around in the ring gives the fans more of a reason to boo as he makes his way up to the second rope and slips out of his ring jacket as it falls to the floor below. Shimomura stretches his arms out and allows the crowd to continue to boo for him, finding it to be his only motivation as he closes his eyes and tilts his head back.)
MOTIVATIONSWhat are your character’s motivations for competing?: Trophies. Although some hunters might use the heads of their victims as a “trophy”, Shimomura takes a piece from his opponents - whether it would be some piece of clothing ripped or cut from, or some other item that belonged to them that might be something of value - and add it to his collection. Of course, championships are nice and everything but that’s just part of what he seeks.
Tendency to Cheat: If necessary, or if things aren’t looking good for him.

NOTESShimomura speaks only Japanese, no other language. His camera work will obviously be translated into English.
He's a laid back fighter, opting for the choice of mind games more than being a destructive striker. Mind games are is key.
His attire's color scheme shows how his mood suitably is. White and Green are his primary colors. Red and White for heading into hardcore matches/no rules situations. Gold and White for his championship reigns. If you see him in all black, or even Black and White, then he's out to end your career. This is fairly rare but can occur on feud-ending matches or in the case of ever wanting to permanently injure someone.
