Personality
Mikazuki is a bubbly person with too much energy for his own good. It's rare for him to stay still for a second and even rarer not to be yapping as quickly as he moves for half that time. Exceedingly outgoing, he loves when the spotlight is on him, regardless if it's for a good or bad reason. The latter is usually a result of the arrogant side of his personality and his tendency to get into trouble because of it. The type to act before thinking, he's never been bothered by his recklessness or the sticky situations it occasionally gets him, finding them more entertaining than anything else.
His sunny disposition makes it easy to overlook how vain and aggressive he can be. Particularly, when competing with others, even over the most minute things. While he'd like to excuse it as an outlet for his excess energy, truthfully, he takes an almost sadistic glee in getting the better of people and proving himself. And in the ring, pushing people to their limits. The gloating he can do afterward is always as vindicating as beating someone.
He's yet to find a better place to indulge his competitive spirit than inside the ring. No matter how his ever-present impulse to beat stronger opponents occasionally ends with him roughed up, losses only mean he has another chance to put that person in their place! After Mikazuki's done being sour about it. He'll pester someone for a rematch until they go insane and until he can best them, at which point he'll proudly exclaim that he's outgrown them. Despite how annoying his brattiness can be, Mikazuki genuinely has an admiration for displays of skill and people who display grit, even if his ego prevents him from saying it aloud.
When he's not being rabid from the prospect of a challenge, Mikazuki is friendly to an almost overwhelming degree, often forgetting the personal space of those he likes. He gives everything 110% and even more when helping anyone he considers a friend. He's all around pleasant to be around, at least, when he's not feeling too mischievous or if you get on his bad side.

History
Mikazuki blames his lively childhood for his competitiveness and inability to stay still for a second. As the youngest of three overachieving siblings, he constantly vied to stand out amongst them and to earn the limited time his mother could spend with them at home. He spent the majority of his early years traveling from one cramped city to the next and even moving to the United States. All due to his mother's need to travel as a wrestler.
Performing under the moniker Umiko the Crescent Hare, she quickly gained notoriety in the local indies she joined for her foolhardy wrestling style. Mikazuki was the only one of his siblings to care about his mother’s work, never complaining about her schedule or having to spend the afternoon watching her work until she was done. Seeing the tenacity it took for her to claim victory or move on past her losses kindled his interest in wrestling.
It only burned brighter after a neck injury forced his mother to stay out of the ring. With such a source of inspiration for him gone, Mikazuki was sure of what path he had to take. Not only would he continue his mother's wrestling legacy, but build upon it. With her help and connections, Mikazuki pursued a career in wrestling after high school, going through training to eventually working local circuits just as she had.
Adopting rabbit-themed gear similar to his mother's and her dynamic, reckless wrestling style, he began to pick up a small following in his hometown of Yokohama, something that didn't help his rapidly growing ego. It wasn't long before he sought out larger crowds to perform. All in the pursuit of increasing recognition of the title he inherited from his Mother. At first anyway.
One thing was clear in the outset of his career. Nothing felt better than thoroughly trouncing someone! Besides proving his superiority over them, of course. Mikazuki sought out the most imposing opponents he could in each city he visited, only moving to the next once claiming victory from them. Indulging his desire to test himself led him to receiving an offer, one that'd let him spread his name on the biggest stage he's set foot in yet.
