Wrestler's Name: Akihiro Nakamura formerly known as Zasshu
Nickname(s):
Gimmick: Zasshu exploded onto the lucha scene a few years ago and quickly made an impact as one of the few Japanese wrestlers to work mostly in the lucha style. His motives are his own but he aspires to be more than a man, his dream is to become a legend.
After departing from the House of Howlette, Akihiro found little success and was ultimately stripped of his mask and found himself injured. Nearing the end of his IWF contract and desperate to to win the approval of his family back in Japan, Akihiro has returned to chart a path toward regaining his honor.
Height: 5'10
Weight: 190LBS
Place of Birth: Tokyo, Japan
Billed From: Mexico City, Mexico
Alignment: Face
Pic Base: Akira Tozawa
Appearance/Attire: Black elbow pads, taped wrists and fists, shorts that are gold with black trimming with his last on a diagonal on the right leg, standard black boots with gold kick pads over the top.
Theme Music: "Villainy Thrives" by Trivium
Entrance: { The arena lights dim to a low hue as a golden spot light shines on the stage, the opening to Trivium's "Villainy Thrives" begins to play as the golden light strobes to the piano. Once the song kicks into gear Akihiro Nakamura comes exploding out from the stage with a burst of pyro and cheers from the crowd. He lands in a crouched position and looks all around before standing up and holding his fists high up over his head. Akihiro Nakamura sprints down the ramp and springs off a trampoline over the top rope and front flipping before landing on his feet. From there he runs to the ropes and leaps onto the second rope in the corner and holds his fists up again over his head. }
Primary Style: Lucharesu (Think Taka Michinoku, very fast paced, uses a lot of spring board type maneuvers mixed with kicks and flips.)
Secondary Style: Japanese strong style (Like Kenta, when he has a hold of you he makes sure it hurts but this is strictly secondary as he uses his speedier offense first.)
Other Style: Technical (But uses it very sparingly.)
Strengths: He is determined and unrelenting in so far as the match itself is concerned. He's never met a man he couldn't humble between the ropes. He is fast and hard to catch, once he's got a hold of you he doesn't let go.
Weaknesses: He's on the smaller side so a larger opponent can man handle him a little bit. Some would also say he is naive as he's never faced an opponent who took things outside of the ring. Wrestling most of his career in Mexico and only being two years in, the more American "extreme" style is relatively unknown to him.
