WRESTLER APPLICATION
Birth Name: Ryu Wakamatsu
Ring Name: Ryu Hanazawa
Height: 5 ft 9 in.
Weight: 201 lbs
Birth Place: February 12, Age(25) Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico.
Billed From: Buzen, Fukuoka, Japan
Alignment: Face
GIMMICK SUMMARY: Just a young up-start looking to make some headway into the wrestling world after spending a majority of his early twenties training and wrestling small-time over on the East Coast of Japan
HISTORY
Born in Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico to a Japanese father and a Mexican mother, Ryu was already a bit of an oddball with his mixed blood but his upbeat and outgoing personality quickly changed people's perspectives of him from weirdo to well-liked within his neighborhood in Catemaco. However, his surroundings changed once his family relocated overseas to Buzen, Fukuoka, Japan, forcing the young Ryu to adapt to the new and different lifestyle, expectations, and values that the Japanese held. Initially he struggled to cope with the changes but after taking part in some after school sports clubs, mainly volleyball, did he gradually begin to blend in more. As time passed into his high school years, Ryu soon discovered pro wrestling after someone only known by his nickname, "Shogun", performed in town. Enticed by the show, Ryu set out to look for the man after graduating high school, eventually locating Shogun in Saitama and asked to train under him. Although the man was unwilling at first, Ryu's persistent declarations of his love and passion for the sport won Shogun's approval and soon enough he was taken in to train.
Six years have passed since Ryu began his journey and after some small-time gigs on the East Coast of Japan coupled with a small excursion to the States, he now looks to rise up within the ranks of one of his homelands.

ENTRANCE
The hard hitting opening of "KARATE" blasts on the speakers and bursting out from behind the curtain comes Ryu Hanazawa, crouched down on one knee with a fist planted on the steel as he looks down at the metal beneath. Slowly, he looks up with half of a smile before bringing himself up onto his feet with his arms spread wide, taking the time to soak in the cheers from the audience. Nodding to himself, he begins making his way down the ramp, jubilantly exchanging high fives with fans in the aisle before climbing up onto the apron and slingshotting himself into the ring. Jumping up on the nearest turnbuckle, he spreads his arms out once more to more cheers from the crowd before hopping back down and begins to warm-up for the upcoming match.
IN RING APPEARANCE
Mainly consists of a mix of red and white with his mask being mostly red with white serving as the accents to it, same scheme applies to the boots and trunks. Rest of the gear consists of red wristbands and red kneepads. Occasionally he'll invert the colors so it's mainly white with red accents.
