Personality: Katsu has a very friendly and open personality both in and out of the ring, always willing to talk to someone or do things with them. He can come off as somewhat girly at times, with his strange obsession with cats and 'cute' way of talking and behaving, made a little more obvious with his small body and vaguely feminine shape. Despite his appearance and attitude however, he can be quite hard to handle in the ring, and enjoys applying excruciating and embarrassing submission holds to his opponents, acting cute and friendly all the while. He is definitely a fairly strange individual, but one that is very enjoyable to be around for most people.

History: Katsu was born in a lower-class, fairly low-income family in a rural area of Japan. He did moderately good in school, achieving roughly average grades compared with the rest of his class and being otherwise unremarkable. He performed fairly well at physical activities however, his small figure and quick movement letting him outperform the other boys pretty often. Outside of school, he took quite an interest in wrestling, watching recorded AFW tapes and other media, and making artwork of his favourite wrestlers.

After finishing school, he decided to pursue his wrestling interest rather than listening to the advice of his parents, taking part in various small events and leagues around the country whenever he had the money to travel there. Katsu turned out to be very good at wrestling, able to take on and keep up with opponents much bigger than himself (Matches where he had the advantage were rare). A couple of years later, Katsu became semi-famous and fairly well-known in the wrestling world, not an easily recognisable name by any means though. At 19, he was invited to interview for AFW Tension, and was offered a contract the same day.

Fun Facts:
-) He has an obsession with cats, sometimes mimicking their behaviour, or even wearing fake cat ears to the ring.
-) Katsu is bisexual, willing to take both boys and girls to bed with him (or, more often, let them take him to their bed).

Wrestling Information

Style: As expected for someone of Katsu's size, he prefers to be fast and agile in the ring, dodging and countering his opponent's attacks rather than trying to overpower or beat them into submission. He excels at high-flying and moves quick enough to overwhelm most other wrestlers, putting opponents into surprisingly painful submission holds when they're softened up enough by the rest of his attacks.
Common Attacks: High kicks, knees, and regular strikes with his arms make up his typical attacks, along with flying crossbody takedowns from the ropes, and dropkicks that he can pull off from a standing position.
Preferred Matches: Regular matches, submission matches, anything that isnt hardcore he will typically be fine with. Hentai matches are a little harder to convince him into, but if the opponent is attractive enough or the idea cute enough, he'll go for it.

Finishing Moves:
Muscle Tearer
An incredibly effective, nigh-inescapable hold that always signals the end of a match. Katsu hits an opponent in the stomach to cause them to bend over (or, if they already were), before bending down himself to put their head just below his shoulder, grabbing their knees and falling backwards. The resulting position resembles a Muscle Buster, but from there he replaces the grip on the victim's legs with his own legs, freeing his hands to apply a sleeper or chokehold to the victim at the same time.

Spoiler:

Legspread Hold
Another brutally efficient hold that never fails to get a submission. Originally intended as a way to guarantee victory over female opponents, but equally devastating against smaller male opponents, Katsu tackles his opponent to the ground and quickly takes one leg by the knee. After that, he captures the victim's other leg with his own and forces it out in the opposite direction. If the victim hasnt escaped by this point, they are left utterly helpless with no hope of escape besides tapping, unless they're strong enough to simply force their legs shut.

Spoiler:

Signature Move:
Pouncing Dropkick
Katsu jumps up into the air (or leaps from the ropes) towards his opponent, most easily performed when they're stunned and unable to dodge, but he will try it whenever he feels like it could work out. Once in the air, his legs come swinging upwards towards the opponent's head, hitting with both feet at once for a pretty devastating blow quite capable of causing a K.O in the right circumstances.

Stats
Strength: 5/10 - Katsu, despite his small size, is stronger than you'd expect. He wont have much trouble matching the power of most female opponents, but struggles against the majority of male opponents.
Stamina: 9/10 - His stamina is highly impressive, letting him keep up with most any opponent for as long as it takes to end the match, seemingly no matter how long it takes.
Endurance: 3/10 - His small frame and lack of strong muscle make him very susceptible to damage, opponents will also find it quite easy to keep him locked down if they manage to apply a submission hold.
Speed: 10/10 - Much like a cat, Katsu is extremely difficult to get hold of if he doesn't want you to. It isnt impossible, but keeping up with him is very very difficult.
Technique: 9/10 - With a lot of practice and training, Katsu's movements and attacks (particularly his submission holds) are very nicely performed.
Flexibility: 10/10 - Another cat-like attribute, Katsu can get his body comfortably into most any position, allowing him to keep some more complex submission holds or maneuver going for a while.

Strikes: 7/10 - His basic strikes are well done more often than not, typically landing where he wants them to land and with the right amount of power and speed.
Submissions: 9/10 - Against opponents of equal or lower size, Katsu's submission holds are vomit-inducingly painful and brutally difficult to get out of without the ability to simply overpower him.
Aerials: 9/10 - His other biggest strength, he can pull off some very flashy and powerful aerial maneuvers, showing remarkable control over his body even after his feet have left the ground.
Blocking: 4/10 - Preferring to dodge and avoid incoming attacks, he rarely tries to outright stop a blow, and as such is pretty bad at it, making his stationary defense easy to overwhelm.
Dodging: 8/10 - His quick movements and good technique make it hard to land blows when he is watching for them, Katsu finding it quite easy to sidestep or dash out of their path.

Overall Rating: 80/100 - A very good wrestler overall for someone of his small stature, opponents may find him very difficult to deal with in the ring.
