Background
Kenshin was born in Osaka and had a normal life growing up. Growing though he always loved watching wrestling, always much happier when he watched wrestling. He wanted to be a wrestler, though unlike a bunch of people who wanted to do it for the money or do it because they just wanted to fight somebody, Kenshin wants to do it because he loves the sport and simply wants to have fun! Sure, he would have loved to become the best, but as long as he could do what he loved then he didn't care.

In Middle School he took up amatuer wrestling, so he could hone his skills. He didn't win too much, but this was the learning experience was what he was after and needed! It was in middle school where he met somebody who would constantly out wrestle him though, even with this student being a year younger he was much better at this then he was and became Ken's rival. His name was Shin Yukimora the Second. While Ken saw it as a friendship...Shin saw it as more (though Ken didn't know this). The two agreed to see each other in the professional circuit though, promising that they would put on great matches with each other.

In High School Ken started to take up more lessons, joining a very small indy league that modeled themselves in the same fashion that AFW did, barring the hentai matches until wrestlers were 18. He didn't mind not being in those though, since he was focusing more on his actual wrestling skill. In this league, he hadn't won a single title, though he had plenty of shots at titles, just coming up short each time. Watching wrestlers on AFW though he kept working at it, knowing that he had to get better. One night, he was approached by an agent at AFW and told him that if he was able to win the title match that night he would be able to sign a contract, though if he lost he wouldn't be able to join....ever. His match was against two people he was always having trouble facing and with the sexual nature they had it was a bit uncomfortable for Ken to face. He had to face Patricia Pink and his long time rival, Shin. The three had a long match, but Ken was able to hit Shin with his Snapshot Suplex to pick up the win! He forfeited the title that night and joined before Shin and Maria. Now he is living his dream...but it could be a nightmare over time.

Personality
Kenshin is a nice guy, he is mellow and overall a carefree guy. This helps him and hinders him. While he can keep himself calm under pressure fine, he also doesn't see a lot of things that happen backstage coming.

Attire: Keeping it simple, he wears a pair of blue tights with black knee pads, elbow pads and boots with white wrist tape.

Wrestling Information_________________________

Ken is described as a great all around wrestler. While he is weak in some aspects, his overall skill and exucution is something that has been praised. He doesn't mind taking risks if he thinks it will go somewhere, but for the most part he will keep his opponent grounded and make sure that they won't fly around or toss him around by working on them through out the match.

Finishing Moves:

“This has been a good match, but now it's time that I finish this!” Snapshot Suplex – Being described as a picture perfect move, Ken will start out with a spinning kick to the stomach before rolling around behind them. Putting them in a full nelson, he whips back and hits them with a quick, painful Dragon Suplex.

More to come!
