Biography:
From a very young age Manami was fascinated with the way of life of the noble Samurai. The principles of frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor until death were ideas that she strived to live up to. Growing up in the town of Kagoshima, she had a special reverence for "The Last Samurai" Saigō Takamori. As she aged, she tried to live as close to those principles. Often times this caused her to be very unpopular. She was constantly either at school, doing her school work or her martial arts training. Being popular never really entered into her mind. It wasn't something she concerned herself with.
Another person she admired growing up was Keiji Mutoh AKA The Great Muta. There was something about him that really attracted her attention to him. Her mother frowned on her fondness for Pro Wrestling but as soon as she was able, Manami enrolled in Mutoh's dojo and trained under her idol. Bringing the same intensity she had for her schooling and martial arts training to it. Adopting his "Original Shining Wizard" into her moveset, she also studied Manami Toyota adding modified versions of her Avalanche Yoshi Tonic and Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex into her moveset. As her career launched, she was moderately successful capturing a couple titles but never anything major. Turning her sights to the American Xtraordinary Wrestling Association, Manami hopes to break out into her own.
(In character portion.)
* How It Started: It all started as a fascination with two of the most legendary performers in my home country of Japan, Mutoh Keiji and Toyota Manami.
* Gimmick: My gimmick is a little complicated. I am technically a heel inside the ring but I will respect my opponents if they have earned it. I don't care if you are face or heel, I will give my honest thoughts about you, and if you are one of the types that doesn't take this sport seriously and act as if it's a beauty contest? I'll disrespect you most of all.
* Wrestling Style: What Americans would call "StrongStyle"
* Gear/Outfit/Costume: Just a simple no frills wrestling attire, I'm not one for flashy attires.
* Titles Held: They don't matter to my standing in XWA so why mention them?
* Biggest Win: I hold each and every victory to pretty much the same level, but getting to beat my Idol Manami Toyota in one of her last matches was an honour I will never forget.
* Worst Loss: Losses come with the game, I see every one as a learning experience for myself. That doesn't mean I won't gripe and complain when it's called for though.
* Favorite Type of Match: Singles, it's just where I enjoy plying my craft the most.
* Favorite Moves/Holds: Shinning Wizard, like my Idol Mutoh I have several in my arsenal and I can beat you with any of them.
* Finisher: Reverse STO I call the Widow's Bite.
* Biggest Allies: I've always been a loner, my serious studious demeanor seem to chase people off.
* Most Hated Enemies: I've not had the privilege to have a rival yet but I hope to soon.
* Favorite Wrestlers: Special shout outs have to go to Mutoh and Toyota but I also have to mention two others. Yoshi Togo and Tadako Anenokoji.
* Wrestling Ambition: Just to live up to the legendary status of my two idols, that's what drives me to do this as a career.
