Entrance Music - Honō no Fighter
Strategy and Style – A seasoned practitioner of Japanese professional wrestling and aspects of MMA grappling as well, Takeshi’s uses a hard-style of fighting that could be seen as excessively aggressive and just plain mean. Despite his bloviating towards upholding the solemn tradition of honorable combat, Takeshi apparently has no qualms with the occasional low blow or headbutt. If confronted about his chicanery in the ring, he’ll simply say that the ladies squaring off with him should feel honored that they pushed him to that extreme, and should have no issue contending with underhanded maneuvers if they believe they can contend on the same level as the men.

Signature Moves :
1) Dasher Lariato!!! – Upon snatching an adversary's hair to hoist them from the ground, Dasher will swivel his other arm for several rotations as if to rev up his burly muscles.

1) Inoba Armbar – A seated armbar variation applied with his opponent laying on their side followed up by before resting his weight on top of them followed up by twisting her arm in an unnatural angle. A dreaded submission that’s difficult to escape from given his hefty frame weighing them down and the occasional biting their fingers or searing Indian burns if the referee’s not watching.

1) Inobaaaaa.....Cluuuuuuuutch!!! - With his opponent laid out on the mat, Dasher will let out a burly yell of trademark finisher before stomping down hard on their lower back. Tenderizing their lower lumbar before dropping down on their back and applying a camel clutch variation with his hand folded in front of their face. Perfectly applied with the positioning of his hands allows him to occasionally torque their head to the sides to really put the strain on their neck.

1) Pure Fighting Spirit – Difficult though it may be to comprehend, there are indeed finishers within Dasher's repertoire that are less preferable than being shamefully humbled within his patented Inoba Clutch. Understanding this one man crusade of his entails crossing certain lines he'd once thought dishonorable, Dasher has taken it upon himself to incorporate a grounded bear-hug into his manful moveset that entails thrusting his girth into his captured prey until they're left submissive and obedient. Not to mention being absolutely mortified to admit if they've taken pleasure after being overwhelmed by Dasher's fighting spirit.

Though despite his gruff demeanor, he's still one of the most respected wrestlers in the Japanese community due to his momentous matches having broken numerous attendance records. His charity work and philanthropic efforts shows that he does believe in giving back and instilling a strong will into young ones who will heed his advice about hard work and inner strength.
Past/History: Having been athletically gifted since as long as he could remember, Takeshi was instilled with a competitive spirit at an early age. One that was cultivated by his grandfather, a former Olympic trainer who helped Takeshi to branch out and excel in the shotput and discus throw events into his teenage and young adult years. Though with his impressive physique it wasn't long before Takeshi gravitated towards MMA grappling and professional wrestling as well. The connections his grandfather had helped him get noticed by talent scouts who offered him his first opportunity to compete at the highest level.
Spanning a glorified career of momentous matches against top tier foes and numerous title wins to his name, Takeshi rose to prominence in the wrestling community and became a symbol of Japanese pride with his wins against various international wrestlers. He used his wealth to open a gym in his name and promote the sport that enabled him to live such a wealthy life. Eventually he came to respect the wrestling ring as a sacred symbol to hone your body and mind through honored competition...so it truly pained him seeing the art of grappling immorally used by pitting woman against men in other wrestling federations.
He was always a staunch believer in the inherent physical advantages men have over women, believing them to simply be incapable of overcoming that genetic hurdle. And the idea of a lady out-wrestling a true grappler seemed utterly absurd to him, and he thought intergender wrestling was a flash in the pan fad that would fizzle out overnight...until he was proven decidedly wrong. The concept growing in popularity while sales tickets of his own matches waning as the years went by. At the advice of his agent and after taking the time to ponder his options, Takeshi decided the best course of action was to enroll in intergender rosters himself and allow the women there an opportunity to prove themselves against a true strong-style grappler. This way he can prove his point by dominating the competition, while also regaining some traction in his career...

Fun Facts:
1) Dasher takes great pride in his fishbowl haircut, having fashioned it after another wrestling idol of his. He gets compared to Moe of the three stooges, but those who make that comparison in front of him regret having said it on their way to the hospital.
2) Dasher's favorite pass time is attending sumo matches when he can, now practically a regular fixture in the audience during the more competitive matches.
3) Dasher has an ex-wife and child with whom he frequently visits and provides for, though he can't help but push his son towards becoming a great wrestler like him one day. Something his ex-wife isn't exactly fond of considering he's started the child's training when he was 5 years old.
4) If Dasher Inoba was a Pokemon, he would be...
