Name: Kenshin Takamura
Birthday: December 21, 1980
Nicknames: The Ace of Aces, The Tokyo Tiger
Weight: 228lbs.
Height: 6'1"
Hometown: Tokyo, Kantō, Japan
Alignment: Face
Wrestling Style: Strong-Style(See Shinsuke Nakamura)/Shoot-Style(See Yuji Nagata) Hybrid
Common Moves:
1. Asai Moonsault
2. Suicide Dive (over the top)
3. Capture Suplex
4. Various Strong-Style Kicks
5. Spinning Wheel Kick (Top Rope/Springboard/Running)
6. STF
7. Saito Suplex (Bridging and Release)
8. Slingblade
9. O Goshi (Usually followed by a Cross Armbar)
10. German Suplex (Release or Bridging)
11. Triangle Choke
12. Tiger Suplex
13. Rolling Kneebar (used primarily as a counter)
14. Dragon Sleeper
15. Stiff Stomps
16. Knee Strikes (literally anywhere it might be effective; used more as a pre-suplex move. Kenshin doesn't necessarily use the knee strikes to knock someone out, though he may, but rather he primarily uses it to give his opponent a dead-leg causing them to flinch long enough for him to snap off some sort of suplex.)
17. Exploder Suplex (Sometimes executed as a wrist-clutch Exploder.)
18. Guillotine Choke
19. Leg-trap German Suplex (usually preceded by an Ankle Lock)
20. Ankle Lock
Signature Moves:
1. TAIFU SAITO SUPLEX. A Saito Suplex executed very much like Scott Steiner executes his spinning Belly-To-Belly except Kenshin uses his knowledge in throwing leverage to rotate his hips quickly to snap off the spinning Saito Suplex in one quick, fluid motion; knocking out his competition from the sheer landing on their shoulder, head, and neck region. Can be executed as a bridging variation as well. This move is to Kenshin what the Regalplex is to William Regal so Kenshin ending a match with this move would not be out of the realm of reality.
2. TAKAMURA DRIVER. Michinoku Driver
3. TSUNAMI CRASH. Roaring Elbow.
4. HIGH FLY FLOW. Frog Splash.
5. CLOVERLEAF.
6. TIGER SUPLEX '85.
Finishing Moves:
1. TIGER STRIKE. Buzzsaw Kick (synonymous with Kenshin Takamura.)
2. TIGER STRIKE EX (Execution). A very precise Rolling Wheel Kick to the face, temple, or the back of the head.
3. KRAKEN VISE. Pace Choke.
Entrance Theme:
"Ride On Shooting Star (FLCL Ending Extended)" by The Pillows
Entrance:
The very second the opening chords to "Ride On Shooting Star (FLCL Ending Extended)" by The Pillows strikes, the crowd is already on their feet for Kenshin Takamura as he emerges from the entrance tunnel. With a confident smirk on his face, The Ace of Aces raises his index finger up to the sky, gaining him a thunderous pop as the audience also mirrors him in the stands. This brings a grin to his face before he continues down the entrance ramp, slapping a few hands on his way to the ring.
After jogging up the stairs, he crosses the apron and raises an index finger toward the crowd who, once again, mirror him as they cheer him on. Cameras flash like strobe lights as he turns and vaults himself over the ropes. He crosses to the far turnbuckle, pulls himself up, and, once more, raises his index finger toward the crowd, and, you guessed it, they mirror him again and rabidly take pictures. He looks around at the audience with a smile and a nod before backflipping off the top rope, displaying his impressive athletic ability despite his age. As he takes his corner, Takamura stretches out while awaiting the starting bell.
