Appearance and Outfit of Choice:
Shouta stands at 5’9” and weighs 185 lbs. While rather slim, his body is built in an athletic manner- with well-toned muscle and a healthy look. His skin is rather lightly tanned without makeup given that he is Japanese. Dark eyes, slender nose, and kinda babyfaced. His hair is dyed a golden shade of blonde with a wavy complexion, reaching down his neck. He usually wears it with a lazy ponytail outside of the ring. He’s also usually wearing casual clothing, such as simple tees, leather jackets or casual blazers, jeans, and sneakers- sometimes some of his own merch- and if he’s feeling sassy, his shades as well.

Shouta in the ring has a classical aesthetic, wearing royal-like clothing to match his wrestling attire underneath, he also lets his hair down and wears subtle makeup- usually eyeliner and eye shadow as well. And occasional, sharp blue eye contacts. Once he gets off his distinct gear, his tights are usually two-toned. The right side is dark blue with elegant patterns while the left is crimson with floral, Victorian-style patterns. His kneepads both have the same designs and colors on their respective sides. Along with his kick pads, with the common outline shape being golden on both with 明神 in gold written vertically down them. His wrist tape matches the coloring. Usually, when his attire alternates- it’s something like flamboyant fancy colors with usual gold and always fitting his medieval royal aesthetic.

Gimmick Information.
Alignment:
Face… mostly.

Tendency to Cheat:
Sometimes, only against people that cheat against him, never in a very heelish way like low blows or a cheapshot- More like a sneaky trickster style, using clever methods.

Gimmick Description:
Shouta is a young Japanese-American MMA prodigy turned professional wrestler. Using his love for visual kei and admiration of stage personas, he created an alter ego named MYOJIN- a charismatic, eccentric character that is basically himself cranked up to eleven. Somewhat arrogant, with a bit of a smart mouth, and a tiny flair for the dramatic- though able to back it up with his ability in the ring. A fan-favorite that is known for his uniqueness and energy when he’s in the squared circle. He’s a rookie in wrestling but has always had an appreciation for combat sports, as it comes naturally to him.

Brief Biography (optional):
Shouta Kuromiya was born in Namba, Osaka, Japan before his family moved to California in the late 90s.

Shouta when growing up was always interested in the world of combative sports. Mainly thanks to his family. The Kuromiya family was filled with a few generations of MMA fighters, including Shouta’s father. He grew up with a love for professional wrestling and both MMA, and instantly at a young age wanted to be like his predecessors. So of course as he grew up, he trained at every chance he had and got into professional MMA. He also had an affinity for rock and metal, more specifically loving the styles and larger than life personalities most rockstars had.

His career showed that he was a natural at the sport once he began his career at 18 years old, sporting a win-loss record of 12-4-1. He wasn’t the absolute best, but he was a shining star of the light heavyweight division. He was known for being usually upbeat and also an arrogant hotshot at times, and loved to take all the spotlight. Something which earned him the nickname, Myojin- shining deity. After a while, however, Shouta recently had wanted to try something new. Something different.

As someone who loved pro wrestling, he wanted to become a wrestler. And his family still supported his decision, so he began to train and become ready. Using his liking for stage personas and music as inspiration, he created his wrestling persona- MYOJIN, a glamorous and flamboyant, over the top character that helped him stand out.

Not too long on the indies, he was considered a promising rookie in the business for his unique blend of high-flying acrobatics and technical ability. It didn’t take long for him to eventually find himself getting a chance to fight at Wrestle World.

Motivations:
Shouta was born naturally to be a fighter, through and through. He always wants to test himself and push further, striving to constantly improve his ability and occasionally shut up people that doubt what he is capable of. To put it simply: While he does heavily enjoy winning, he also wants to learn how to get better. He finds fighting, whether in the octagon or squared circle, to be fun and it’s his passion in life. Plus the fame and money ain’t half bad too.

Entrance Description (optional):
Will be added later.

Wrestling Style:
A unique hybrid of both being a risk-taking high flyer and a methodical technical wizard. Definitely, MMA based given his experience in the octagon, but also a bit of a showman at times as well. One moment could be performing a graceful moonsault and the other, locking someone into a painful armbar. His striking capability as well is not to be taken lightly, given his almost uncharacteristic hard-hitting style.

Favorite Match Type(s):
Submission matches.

Favorite Weapon(s):
None, in particular, he isn’t picky.
