Background
Growing up in the town of Kushiro, Rio never really was much of a fighter. No, for a long time she was just a big nerd that enjoyed watching anime and playing games. It wasn't until she was about 15 in high school that she started to watch sumo wrestling. As a girl of 'large' proportions she couldn't help but be attracted to the sport, watching it every chance she could, whether that was live on cable or finding DVDs of sumo matches. Not too long after finding her love of sumo, she found pro-wrestling and couldn't help but smile when watching that as well.

At the age of 16 she started to wrestle with her friends, but while they were trained in their actual styles, she just did anything that she watched on TV or saw in a game. Luckily though, she was bigger then most of the people that she fought and simply used her strength and weight to win her matches. Admittedly, most people saw her as a bully when it came to fighting, but she just loved to play around with her opponents during the fight.

Then, one day a scout had saw her fighting and couldn't help but grin. Under normal circumstances there was no way she would take somebody like Rio in, but just seeing her size and the way that she played with her opponents with the gathering crowd (which was rather large surprisingly) it would be foolish to not bring her in as a gimmick! So, here she is at the ripe age of 18 doing something she loved in front of an even large crowd!

Personality: Rio is a playful girl in the ring, and it carries on outside of the ring too, especially if they are a fan of anime or manga or if she is a 'big fan' (See her "I'm your biggest fan!" Finisher.) of the wrestler and she is a big fan of a lot of wrestlers. She isn't afraid to speak her mind around people, though it's not like she really has anything bad to say to anybody anyway and she might even find fun making them feel uncomfortable at times.

Attire: See Picture.

Wrestling Information

Signature moves: Facesitting (Smothering in general really), bearhug, shoving, a palm strike to the chest when they are in the corner and the follow-up is the dreaded stinkface (which she might use to end the match) and a wedgie.

Finishing Moves:

"It's time to end our playtime!~" Mountainous Drop – Rio grabs the opponent by their bottoms (and underwear if they are wearing any, but will grab the shirt too if they are wearing one) and lifts them up before tossing them to the mat. That's not the 'drop' though, the 'drop' is followed by it, jumping up and landing on their back or stomach with her large rear.

"OH MY GOSH! I'm such a big fan!~" I'm your biggest fan!- A week before the match she is in she'll watch a bunch of matches and try to copy the finisher, though it won't be right on the dot. She will usually end it with a huge hip drop or smother, depending on their position.
