Alignment: Son Of The Legend - A naive and youthful prodigy who carries the name of a heralded wrestling legend, and one he intends to do proud through hard work, fierce determination, and a lion-heart roaring with boundless energy.

Entrance Music - Green Beast

Strategy and Style – Brought up in a household as testosterone driven as one might imagine and with a certain powerhouse grappler as his patriarchal role model, Katsuo utilizes non-stop pressure to never give his opponent a second of relaxation or time to recoup. Calculated strikes on certain muscles and tendons can disable an opponent's speed and strength before they know what hit them, and make up for the lack of astonishing power moves his acclaimed Father is renowned for. A more fleet-footed striking and submissions based approach is his main bread and butter. And although lacking in bulging muscles though he may be, it doesn't mean he doesn't hide some inner strength himself...

Signature Moves :

1) The Black Comet – A downed opponent may need to be on the lookout from a sprinting Katsuo come bouncing in off the ropes before leaping into the air to attempt a running headbutt from his bowl-cutted noggin straight to their head or chest. Complete with a salute to his Father on the way down.

Spoiler:

2) Heroic Combination – Fired up and filled to the brim with youthful vigor, Katsuo unleashes upon his opponent a series of walloping straight punches culminating with cocked back forearm strike as he holds the back of his opponent's head and neck. A bellowing and manly yell with each strike.

Spoiler:

3) Inoba Spincycle – Summoning up some testosterone fueled endurance, Katsu hauls an opponent atop his shoulders and proceeds to go into a near minute long set of dizzying airplane rotations that regrettably ends with both his adversary and himself splayed out in swirly-eyed vertigo.

Spoiler:

Finishing Moves :

1) Inoba Shooting Star – Proof positive that the Inoba family tree, at least on the men's side, just genetically thick-headed. Katsuo will scamper atop the nearest turnbuckle while an opponent is downed before saluting his Father and going for a diving headbutt that is guaranteed to kayo an opponent and leave them seeing numerous bowl-cutted stars.

Spoiler:

2) Inoba Clench - Knowing he has not yet earned the right to inherit the prestigious family finisher, Katsuo instead readies himself for the day by implementing his own variation by of an Simple yet tortuously brutal submission by slotting one leg between theirs while they're on their back before flipping them over into a Figure Four that is perfectly applied and puts every ounce of his Inoba grappling talent on full display.

Spoiler:

3) Cascading Wave/Bowl-Cut Dragon Fist - An explosive torrent of youthful spirit that is of Katsuo's own specialized design. A swift kick to the back of an opponent's legs puts them at an awkward and defenseless stance before being subjected to a series powerful strikes before sinking his fist into the abdomen for a booming gut punch. Meant to finish off even the sturdiest of foes and leave them a winded and frazzled mess prime to be pinned.

Personality: Time spent with Katsuo will make one realize that while the apple does not fall from the tree in this case, sometimes it can take on qualities all it's own regardless of what mighty tree trunk it may have fallen from. Katsu is a headstrong youth with an unflappable will and solid work ethic who is never afraid to undergo rigorous training regiments that can put his lean strength to task. All stemming from his stoic pride in the family name and beaming admiration he has for his legendary pops...

...and thankfully he does not share in some of his Father's chauvinistic attributes. To the contrary...Katsu is an honest and kind-hearted goof around ladies whose attempts at affection seem to never get reciprocated whenever he fancies a lady and nervously announces his courting intentions. This bit of naivety also has him see his larger than life Father in only the most brightest of lights, whom he'll defend and obey to the ends of the Earth.

Past/History: The latest generation in the Inoba clan, and one whose been a wrestling prodigy due to more than his naturally gifted genes. Katsuo was simultaneously blessed and burdened by being the son of the renowned Puroresu champion, Takeshi "Dasher" Inoba. Whose towering physique cast quite the shadow over the young hopeful since his early years, and who took it upon himself to bestow to his son a deeper understanding and love for the wrestling ring and the spirit of manly competition it represents. An impressionable adolescent like him was incapable of not admiring his musclebound father who exuded steely-eyed confidence with a bellowing voice that altogether practically put Dasher on a mythical status in the eyes of the young lad.

Katsuo's earliest memories were of him gluing his eyes to the television whenever his Father was grappling with other wrestling giants around the world, clutching onto his Dasher Inoba action figure in awe and wondering what it would be like when he started taking up the family business. Early mornings jogging beside his Father in his early teens were his first bit of training, accompanied soon afterward by training tutorials on the basics of the sport once he grew old enough to enhance his muscle training. Katsuo, to no-one's surprise, found himself to have an inherit knack for the sport like his Father and Grand-father before him. Although it took a dual bout of convincing from both Dasher and himself to talk Katsuo's mother into fully allowing him to follow the profession once he finished high-school.

Having developed his own personal style in the Japanese indie circuit, with some clout afforded to him simply due to his heritage, Katsuo began racking up a decent win percentage. Chalking up wins and forming tag-teams...but he knew he'd truly start to flourish once he began training with his Father again. Unfortunately, Dasher's one-man campaign in AFW has afforded him little time for the lessons that Katsu knows will bring out his inner potential. All the negative attention his Father is garnering in Tension only made him want to rush to his defense even more, and wrestling ladies for a change should provide valuable training experiences...right?

Fun Facts:
1) Katsuo also takes great pride in his fishbowl haircut, but insists to others who don't believe him that his hair naturally comes in that way and that it needs no hair styling whatsoever to come out the way it does. A glimpse at the men's bowl-domed haircuts on Dasher's side of the family confirms this.

2) Katsuo's mother has largely stayed out of the limelight. She is in fact, a calm, congenial and warm-hearted teacher who may seem wholesomely pleasant on the outside...but has an ominously strict side that lays beneath. Her knack for reigning in a blustering Dasher with only an ice-cold glare is proof of this.  

3) To this day he's never had a girlfriend, despite his best attempts at wooing them with bundles of bouquets and recitations of fluffy poetry that he bellows to the high heavens in broad public.

4) If Katsuo Inoba was a Pokemon, he would be...
