Gimmick Description:

After Arata managed to escape from the poverty and became a rising star in the wrestling industry, the man started to be more confident and sometimes even arrogant. However, he still remains faithful to his past. What he mainly believes in is honor and fairness and this what he shows until someone gets under his skin. Arata has nothing against cooperating with other people, but he is a type of a man who is pretty indifferent towards his co-workers.

Biography:

Arata comes from a poor family in which, despite the lack of money, there has always been a lot of love. When he was still a child, he was more of a loner type, as his peers rejected him because of his social status. His only friend at the time was his brother, with whom he still has close relations. However, lack of friends was not Arata's only childhood problem. When he was still at school, his peers not only disliked him, but also bullied him to such an extent, that he hated himself. At one point he felt so bad with himself, that he had to find a purpose in his life - it was the wrestling industry. At first, the young man didn't even think about ever being in a serious company, he just wanted a reason to live. This approach changed when one day he finally got a big chance, that opened the door to this industry for him.

Motivations: Proving people that if you work hard, you can achieve everything regardless of your life situation.
