hide Kitazawa
Wrestler Info
Name: hide Kitazawa [note the Lower case H]
Real Name: Hideto Kitazawa
Height/Weight: 6'0"/168lb
Hometown: Nagoya, Japan
Alignment: Heel
Gimmick: An idiot savant punk, versed in punching, kicking and Quantum Mechanics, kicked out of the BFO for being too obnoxious even for them.
Theme Music: Black Feather Orchestra - Beyond of the Ground [Galneryus Cover]
Entrance: -=To Come=-
Appearance: The most noticable thing about hide Kitazawa is his large scar just above his liver, where he's missing a rib. This scar forms the centrepiece of a tattoo that occupies most of the right side of his torso. From the scar, a long serpentine dragon is emerging while trying to escape a tiger, the tip of whose tail begins just above his right knee, and is leaping all the way up his side, with its claws raking the side of the dragon just under his right armpit. When wrestling, most of this is covered from the waist down but a pair of black boxing shorts, with a blue, white and black lightning pattern down the side of the left leg, and the covered part of his tattoo on the right leg. Outside of the ring, he tends to wear black jeans, a long black coat with the sleeves rolled up, and a cap.
His long, thin face usually wears a sneer, under dark blue hair, usually styled to look like some kind of anime hero, but gets squashed under his cap anyway. A quick shake of the head is usually enough to restore it once it's been messed up.
Rep: Sho Minamimoto
Finishing Move: Level i Flare - Shining Dragon Punch -> Triangle Choke. The "i" should be italicised.
Trademark Moves:
Flicker Jab - An extremely fast jab, done in batches of 20. Kitazawa has made three claims about his jab: 1) That he can land 5 for every punch his opponent throws, which can be true, depending on the opponent; 2) That he can throw 20 before an observer can blink, which is false; 3) That his Flicker Jab is so fast, that it approaches relativistic speeds, temporarily increasing the mass of his fist, which is absurd.
Tiger Swipe - Close-range half Hook, half Uppercut punch, invariably done after a break in the jabs to allow the opponent to come close
Dragon Punch - ¬_¬

Wrestling Style: As you may imagine from his movelist, hide Kitazawa is a striker to the near complete exclusion of everything else. As one would expect from a student of either Super Ninja, he has the desire to not get hit, and the speed to turn that desire into the result, although he had the sense and the footwork to put all that into practise before he started wrestling. The Flicker Jab is his usual start, using it as a base to find his range and find targets for his combinations with his fists, then working elbows [which peversely, he shouts the names of as he does them,] in there, before easing up on the dancin' in favour of some kickin'.
He is aware of the idea of a pinfall, if only because he's lost a fair few matches to them. He usually prefers to fight to Submission or [preferably] a KO.
Kitazawa's Full KO Pattern is Flicker Jabs -> Pause -> Tiger Swipe -> Switch Stance -> More Flickers -> Dragon Punch
Three Strengths:
- World Class Striker - If not for the suspension and the fine, hide would be a contender for the OBPF Welterweight Championship by now, with designs for a World Title shot.
- Genius - This is a man who managed to derive Boltzmann's Equations just from first principles. If Boltzmann hadn't got there first [and by some time], it would be Kitazawa's Equation, Constant and Principle.
- Quick - The heart of his skills is his speed. While he makes absurd claims about how fast he can punch, they are at least grounded in some kind of truth.
Three Weaknesses:
- Missing a Rib - While the lack of rib doesn't directly hurt, it means that his liver and lungs has that much less protection. Plus his tattoo draws a lot of attention to it.
- No Wrestling Ability - Kitazawa knows three holds and three suplexes. This is the extent of his wrestling knowledge. The only way he ever attempts any pins at all are bridges have just executed them.
- Short Temper - hide Kitazawa is a man who thinks of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in terms of how much entropy is caused by his fists when he punches someone. This is not the way a calm, rational person thinks.
Bio: Widely reckoned to be some kind of genius of the worst kind; Hideto Kitazawa coasted through school, failing all kinds of Arts and Humanities, but excelling at the sciences with little apparent effort. The rest of his energies were devoted to his hair, an array of girlfriends [who all just wanted help with their maths homework, but didn't mind making out when they were done;] and fighting. The next logical progression was to have some sense knocked into him by a professional boxer. Unfortunately for all concerned, boxing training only helped him to refine his style. Being naturally quite tall and quite thin, he had little difficulty avoiding attacks; after a few weeks of training, he was nigh-on unhittable. Worse still, he now could fight back. In an effort to curb his street fighting, his trainers decided to turn him pro. It worked to an extent, but he would still get into the occasional scrap in school, but he sparked no more major inter-school incidents.*
At 6 Wins from 6 Fights [4 KO] things were looking promising for Hideto Kitazawa as a boxer, even if he didn't have the patience for college entrance exams; He was ejected from the University of Nagoya exam, a broad-curriculum paper, despite only wanting to study Physics, after shouting at the examiner "What the fuck** is this Apricot Blossom bullshit?" Within hours, all the other colleges he'd applied to had informed him that he was no longer welcome to take their exams. Things went from bad to worse in his 7th Pro Fight.
An early Tiger Swipe gave him a quick Knock Down, but as this connected, his opponent landed a punch just above his liver, which fractured one of his ribs. While this wasn't the first time Kitazawa had been punched in the liver, it was the first time he'd fractured a rib in the ring. Favouring his right side, and with his footwork slowed, it became a target. In the fifth round, barely behind on points [both had taken two rounds, Kitazawa was up from that early 38-37 from the KD] his opponent went for the solar plexus, while Kitazawa pivoted for a hook. The broken rib was punched from the other side and burst out through his torso. While the hook connected, dropping the opponent for the second time, the referee had no choice but to order a medical stoppage. Hideto Kitazawa, not known for his ability to keep cool while in pain, snapped. With a headbutt between eyes for the referee, he tore his gloves off and started pounding away at his fallen adversary, and eventually had to be sedated before he was pulled away for medical attention.
The rib had to be removed and the Oriental & Pacific Boxing Federation called an inquiry; and while they had a some sympathy for a man who looked down to see his own rib, they also could not condone his actions; a 3 year ban and a Y50,000,000 fine, to be deferred and paid out of any money he made from Boxing. Not that it mattered; Kitazawa never boxed again, although he never quite left it behind when he began training with the Black Feather Orchestra with Keita Ijima taking particular interest in him as a boxing fan himself.
What happened next is a mystery; the Black Feather Orchestra being surprisingly good at keeping secrets [cf. Daisuke Tanaka's Left Knee] but the consensus is that he was either expelled and blacklisted from the Japanese Wrestling scene, or sent off on an Overseas excursion. He left with his superlative striking ability, a number of basic holds and three suplexes, and a friend: Tomoaki "Pata" Andou.
* There was the small matter of the baseball team from Gifu, whose pitcher's older brother was also professional boxer, but that wasn't started by Kitazawa, who reportedly said "Why the hell do I want to fight him here? If he's as good as you fuck-heads are saying he is, I can get paid for it!"
** Again, he swears in English.
