HOMETOWN: Shibuya City, Japan.

DISPOSITION: Heel (Lawful Evil.)
PERSONA/GIMMICK: To best describe Taekhiro Shimomura, he’s a mercenary of sorts. Shimomura joined professional wrestling in order to take down the legends of the game, of the sport itself, to slay those who are seen as the highest of the roster- the aces of anyone’s roster. Setting targets on whomever he may see those fitting of extermination, not stopping until he gets the job done, by any means necessary. He’s also a cocky, grimy little shit. Being a cowardly asshole against those who step up to him, but that wouldn’t affect his end goal at all, that just fuels what kind of man he is.
BACKSTORY: [REDACTED]
MOTIVATIONS FOR WRESTLING: Trophies. Although some hunters might use the heads of their victims as a “trophy”, Shimomura takes a piece from his opponents - whether it would be some piece of clothing ripped or cut from, or some other item that belonged to them that might be something of value - and add it to his collection. Of course, championships are nice and everything but that’s just part of what he seeks.
PICTURE BASE: Katsuhiko Nakajima, long hair.
ENTRANCE THEME: “Part Time God” by The Bad Dreamers.
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
The opening of “Part Time God” begins to play through the arena, the lights spiraling around the arena to a dark purple hue and the entrance curtain swinging open to Taekhiro Shimomura to step out. Sporting his white and green wrestling tights, a large jacket covered in white and green fur wrapped around his body, and attached to the jacket was a Wolf’s ‘severed head’. The Last Breathing Mercenary looked around to the crowd as they rained down the loud boos. The cocky grin on his face grows more as he just soaks in the negative reaction he receives.
“YOU’RE NOT A PART TIME GOD
YOU’RE NOT A PART TIME GOD
YOU TOOK A FULL TIME JOB
YOU DIDN’T EVEN WANT”
Shimomura begins a very slow walk to the ring, continuing to soak in the crowd’s negative reaction - all the while looking as masterful as he could - as he finally makes his way down to the ringside area. Shimomura makes his way up the steel steps, walking along the apron before heading through the middle ropes.
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first/And his opponent… wrestling out of Shibuya City, Japan and weighing in tonight at two hundred and nine pounds… he is “The Wolf”,... TAEEEEEKHIRROOOOOO SHIMOMURRRRRRAAAAAAA!!!!
His shit-eating grin as he spins around in the ring gives the fans more of a reason to boo as he makes his way up to the second rope and slips out of his ring jacket as it falls to the floor below. Shimomura stretches his arms out and allows the crowd to continue to boo for him, finding it to be his only motivation as he closes his eyes and tilts his head back.

NOTES FOR MATCH WRITERS.
– Taekhiro speaks only Japanese (of course, all promotional material is translated accordingly), but he would never speak English. He knows the language, and he’s been taught some parts of it, but why would he want to speak that?
