Identification Info
STAGE NAME – Mushigihara
REAL NAME – Eiichiro Yamazaki
NICKNAME(s) – Kamikemono/God-Beast
DATE OF BIRTH – August 12, 1986
PLACE OF BIRTH – Mito, Ibaraki, Japan
FIGHTING OUT OF – Mito, Ibaraki, Japan
HEIGHT and WEIGHT – 6’4”, 294 pounds
DEBUT YEAR – 2010
BIOGRAPHY – The man, the myth, the monster. Mushigihara was a sumo competitor before he took to the squared circle, and in fact, “Mushigihara” was his shikona, or ring name, from that bygone time. After he retired from the sport due to injuries, internal politics, and the impending scandal that shook the world of sumo to its core, he took to professional wrestling. He dropped a considerable amount of weight, developed a style that fit his massive frame, and has had success, mainly as a tag team specialist.
PAST INJURIES – none
Social Info
CONTRACT or FREELANCE? - Freelance. For now.
ALIGNMENT – Neutral, at first. He wasn’t expelled from sumo, so he doesn’t carry much in the way of disgrace. That said, he CAN be ruthless, a holdover from those sumo days.
ALLIES – David Troy (Lion’s Road)
RIVALS – Frank Dylan James
Physical Info
EQUIPMENT/APPEARANCE – Mushigihara wears a unitard-like outfit (basically a singlet with legs), also black with gold streaks riding up the legs, and black boots with gold laces. Black kneepads with gold trim round out the look, as well as plain black elbow pads and black fingerless gloves. Short black hair. Brown eyes. Asian features.
WALKOUT ATTIRE – Along with his usual attire, he wears a gold-and-black insect-themed mask, which he removes before entering the ring.
CASUAL ATTIRE – He’s fond of suits whenever possible. He’s no fashionista, but he likes simple, solid suits.
WALKOUT THEME – “Mach 13 Elephant Explosion” by Masafumi Takada
WALKOUT DESCRIPTION –
Fighting Info
FIGHTING STYLE – Mushi’s style is heavily influenced by King’s Road, the style of professional wrestling that was developed in All Japan in its prime. This particular style draws heavily from Southern-style (US) wrestling, with emphasis on storytelling and toughness. Mushi in particular is inspired by Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu, themselves both former sumo wrestlers before embracing the squared circle.
SPORTSMANSHIP – Relishing an opportunity to face his countrymen once again, the God-Beast is a little more willing to shake hands and show decorum than his usual partner, David Troy. That said, it’s still a sport to him, and he still wants to win, so he isn’t too concerned about the rules getting in the way.
