Entrance Music: “Hero” by Pegboard Nerds (BeKnights Cover)

The lights cut. A light begins to pulse each time, which the source originates from a different section of the arena and timed perfectly with each word spoken by a beautiful female’s voice against a soft keying of an accompanying piano:

The riffs of BeKnight’s cover of “Hero” by Pegbard Nerds begins to radiate from the speakers. The beat fills the entire space of the spectating crowd. One spot light form the right shine down upon the curtains. One from the right snap on the next beat. A final, front and center, spotlight shot down. Hiro Tanaka stands there, his fist raised to the hand. Claire Bailey comes out to join him as he does so, she poses in a dress, flirting showing skin with her skirt. He pumped his fist to the beat. The crowd roars. The lyrics begins to sing out, in rapid fashion:

He starts to shake his head to the beat now, stepping forward to the edge of the ramp as the beat almost becomes deafening.

Hiro Tanaka starts down the ramp, his disjointed movement aligned with the beat. ‘Hero’ keeps being called out in the song. He high fives out stretches hands, poses briefly with a fan here and there. He makes his way to the apron, where he leaps up. And he stops, he leans backwards into the ropes dramatically as the final lyrics of the song cuts forward. Claire Bailey stands on the outside, shouting encouragements.

He climbs into the ring as the light returns to normal and faces his match with the look of the determination.

Hiro Tanaka considers himself following a modern day Bushido Code. He’s a man of honor but that does not say he is merciful. While he is very respectful to his opposition, he will do what he must to defend himself. He fights back with extreme prejudice. If his opponent brings a weapon into a mix, Hiro Tanaka is not afraid to brandish a weapon himself. If he needs to make the save against the numbers, Hiro Tanaka will charge in, brandishing his kendo stick. He doesn’t go for cheap shots, but he definitely goes for blood if necessary.

There is obviously a prominent influence of strong style in his wrestling style, given that he started out in Japan, training under some of the greatest Japanese wrestlers. When he moved to American in the early 2000s, Hiro Tanaka started to adopt some American mannerisms underneath the tutorage of Adam Allocco. He is best described as having an intense offensive style of wrestling, with full range of full contact strikes, suplexes and submissions.

Since his return to professional wrestling, he’s adopted more showboating (albeit more towards engaging the crowd than disrespecting his opponents, as he would never purposefully disrespect his opponents). He no longer as serious and rigid as he used to be.

Bushido Blade - Shining Wizard Gamenguri; this move comes in two variations. This can be delivered as an ultimate counter, striking instantaneously or built up. When the latter is being utilized, typically the opponent is down. Hiro Tanaka goes to the corner, kneeling forward, his right fist in the air being pumped. When the opponent rises, his right fist is lowered to a pointing gesture, garnering a huge pop. Hiro Tanaka will then charge forward, timing  his strike perfectly the moment his opponent turns around.

Divine Wind - Shooting Star Legdrop; if he has time and the energy, Hiro climbs up onto the top rope and pauses. He waves his right hand from left to right , then the left hand from right to left, garnering the cheering anticipation of the crowd watching.

Hiro Tanaka first gained notoriety with his involvement with Supreme Championship Wrestling, winning the Tag Team championship with Celeste Camini. Later on, he would go on in a comeback and seize the United States Championship; however he immediately returned the belt to his former team mate, Nate Lawson after his victory. Dubbed an amazing pure technician Hiro Tanaka returned home to face criminal charges, the accidental murder of a gangland thug who threatened his family, but received a reduced sentence after the judge took in account the circumstances. After serving his prison sentence, Hiro Tanaka was allowed to return to United States on the premise of business. Hiro Tanaka was contacted by Aires Allocco to return to Majestic, which Hiro Tanaka worked prior as a member of the staff, but this time in the role of a professional wrestler.

In December of 2011, Hiro Tanaka emerged from the infamous Infinity Eight match as its sole survivor, earning the Camaraderia Championship belts with his partner and pupil, Claire Bailey. In the same match, Hiro Tanaka won the right to face Remy Lavoue at Call to Power [1] for the Majestic Premier Championship belt. The week before the big match, Crimson Sun Express (his tag team name with Claire Bailey) lost the belts indirectly as the titles were defended in a six man tag match, where Remy Lavoue was pinned. Two weeks later, Hiro Tanaka once again shocked the world as he stunned Remy Lavoue and became the second Majestic Premier Champion in history.

After garnering international recognition and prestige in Majestic, Hiro Tanaka fell off the radar after the company folded. Since 2013, Hiro Tanaka has operated a wrestling school in Seattle, Washington. While many of his former students appear around the world in the squared circle, the only worthwhile mention is Alistaire Allocco. In late 2018, Hiro Tanaka’s school burnt to the ground and since then he relinquished his role as a teacher. He sets his sights back on returning to active competition.

Since returning to wrestling as an active competitor, Hiro Tanaka isn’t as tight laced as he used to be. He seems very interested in involving the crowd and trying to get them behind him. He seems to do this for fun than anything else. He is still very respectful of his opponents and the rules, but at the same time, he seems to be enjoying himself, passionately loving the sport.

Hiro Tanaka made a guest appearance at Taking Hold of the Flame 2019 Battle Royal as a surprise entrant; since then, he is currently taking dates on the independent circuit. He showed up in the invitational battle royal at EMERGE Invasion: SOTS. A few times he has shown up in the corner of his newest pupil, YUYO. Now he has signed a contract alongside former partner and pupil, Claire Bailey to reunite as the Crimson Sun Express. At the tail end of his prime, he hopes that this opportunity will give him a chance to springboard back to the top of this sport.
