Daichi Kurozu: Angelic Wonderboy!

Everyone knows of the gentle giants trope, Daichi is like that, but tiny. With a strength that's absolutely ridiculous for his size, he's able to lift people several times heavier than him if he puts his back to it. That said, his main weakness is his own mentality, scared by the way his strength might hurt other people, as an effect to this, he isn't one to put someone on a submission hold for his fear of breaking them. Even throwing people around causes him some anxiety, so he'll rather mess with their defenses with strikes or grapples, throwing them down and then using his strength to make them stay down. This of course is more of a self made handicap than an actual fighting style. If his enemy is deemed as dangerous or cruel enough, he'll throw everything he's got to make them stay down for good.

Attitude towards Hentai: Daichi blushes like a tomato and crosses his legs "Eh? H-Hentai? As in... lewd? Well... that sounds very embarrassing... Wait, how much did you said they'll pay me for those?"

Endurance:XX| This one's tricky according to the perspective. He can take a hell of a beating (not at Akiko's level mind you) but his stamina is not so hot, smothers and submissions are a good way to wear him down.
Strength:| Strong boi! Arguably his most noteworthy trait and the one he bases his style by.
Speed:XX| His leg strength make him dangerously fast, but his stamina isn't lasting enough to make this particularly useful besides charges and rope moves.
Defense:XXX| He's able to tank quite a lot thanks to his hardiness, but his reflexes aren't enough to catch most punches that go his way.
Technique:XXX| Pretty clumsy, he knows his stuff, but can't really pull the most complex moves.

Strikes:X| Normally aims to make his enemies fall with light (to his perspective) punches.
Submissions:XXXX| Besides his hugs and smothers, he doesn't have the stomach for these.
Power Moves:| Is able to pull most lifts and throws with pretty much any person, his only weakness being his own ditziness at certain moments.
Aerial Moves:XXXX| You're more likely to see a pig flying than Daichi.
Counters:XX| Isn't capable of countering much of anything, but his raw power can allow him to get out if his opponents get cocky.

With the appearance of a girl and the attitude of a brat, Daichi can be seen as an oddball at first, but when someone takes the time to meet him, it becomes apparent that he's just a silly young man, but very pure of heart as well. He loves to spend time with them, play videogames, pull pranks, eat junk food and be a general tease to his family and friends, who mean the world to him. Underneath all of this lies a nostalgic teen who fears receiving harm or inflicting it, as well as being left alone. From time to time he can appear to be a pushover that would prefer to avoid conflict with others at any cost, but don't confuse his empathy for weakness. If pushed beyond his seemingly infinite goodwill, he'll show wrath with the intensity to rival his very own sister.

Born a half of two identical twins, Daichi grew up alongside his sister Akiko, their mom and dad, that is until he left their lives for unknown reasons when they still where two infants. With nothing to remember their dad except some photos and distant memories, the siblings were raised by their mother, an inexperienced, although very determined woman who started to work to provide for them in their time of need, apart from caring for them, loving them and singing for them in the dark, stormy nights.


As they grew up and began to study with other kids, the twins were ostracized by their economical status. For Akiko this was hardly a nuisance. For Daichi though? A poor, small, meek and girly pipsqueak? He might as well have had a 'Kick me' sign tattooed to his back. It wasn't a secret for anyone that he was the pet of every bully in the area. Even if his elder sister hunted those cruel kids behind his back for harassing him, he still felt pretty bad about his situation. When people treats you as if you were less because of your stature, or your face, you begin to feel like you ARE less. "Do i deserve to be treated like this?... Did dad left because I was born like this?" All wrong ideas, but for the mind of a kid, they began to settle down and to make sense.


The years passed, and when he grew up still looking no different to his sister, Daichi began to spend his time in video game galleries and working from time to time lifting heavy things for the neighbours or doing manual work that store owners paid for the kids nearby. He was good at lifting stuff for his petite size, and it mostly meant that he got some change to play at the arcades and to provide a minimal amount of income to his home.


When he started highschool, his bullies decided to come back from their sabbatical and once again to haunt him for fun. Amidst his despair, something peculiar happened, Akiko came to him, confronting him about his troubles and encouraging him to fight back against those guys. He really looked up to his big sister, he saw her as smart, good looking, brave and strong, everything which he believed he wasn't. So it didn't took much of her pepping talk to convince him to stand up to his tormentors.


While it may be true that some ruffians feel intimidated and discouraged when the ones they prey upon suddenly find the guts to stop them. When Daichi grew a spine, this wasn't the case much to everyone's misfortune. They were many of them, and when their leader decided that some punishment was in order for this transgression. Two of them grabbed the shorter boy from behind so he wouldn't run away, all the while their chief pulled out a switchblade on him. The stupid teen probably planned just to scare Daichi with it, but the brunette didn't knew this, all he had ever known was his fear of people who wanted to hurt him. His survival instincts kicked in, he never had thought about getting violent with anyone like he did in all those videogames, but he felt like he was about to get badly hurt if he didn't acted, and act he did. With the harshest push of his life he sent his two captors flying to his sides, dislocating the arm of one of them. With a hard smack he threw that knife away, breaking the wrist that sustained it, and in his frenzy he tried to run away. the rest of the gang tried to stop him, but it only ended on even more wounds on their side as Daichi ran faster than they could pursue.


Unfortunately, that traumatic event didn't stop right there. Some of the students that were there while the assault was happening decided to accuse Daichi from being the attacker and the one who hurted some of them with no provocation. The school decided to expel the poor boy without digging further because it was easier to just blame a single person. And he was just an urchin right? It was obviously his fault for being poor and an outcast, is what they stupidly assumed.


After that event, Daichi didn't knew anything else about anyone involved in that, and he didn't wanted to. He needed to know what to do after that misadventure. He remained working here and there, but nothing that he thought would give him enough to sustain himself or his family. But then, while he worked as a waitress (yes, you read it correctly) in a small place he watched that the TV from the local was streaming a match from AFW. At first he watched it with indifference, but then he kept looking to the point he was yelled at for not doing his job. The moves, the drama, the story. He knew of wrestling beforehand thanks to video games, TV and the internet, but he never thought much of it until then. It reminded him of that day that he fought for his life and survived, like in that time, he never had thought of himself as a badass fighter. But... what if he was good at it?


He went to the strongest person he knew. Yeup, his sister, and asked her to teach him to fight. He had seen her beating other kids when they were both a couple of childs, so he was fully convinced that she would make a decent trainer. Much to his surprise, she accepted and began to train him in wrestling. It hurt. A lot. Akiko wasn't a gentle teacher, but he got stronger thanks to her. By the time she said that he was ready, he thought so himself, and with that in mind, he looked for work in the same place that gave him the idea. He was grateful to be accompanied by Akiko, and with her by his side he was sure that they would be able to be big there and to help their mom rest from how hard her life had been until then.
