Subject: Honored One, Tatsuo Sakaguchi May 3rd 2023, 2:30 pm
BASIC INFORMATION Wrestling Name: Tatsuo Sakaguchi Picture Base: Katsuhiko Nakajima Current Nicknames: Honored One Height: 6’1” (185.42 cm) Weight: 230 lbs Hometown: Kyoto, Japan
CHARACTER INFORMATION Disposition/Alignment:Chaotic Neutral | Tweener
His onslaught or allegiance takes no side. The only thing that matters to him is satisfying his own goals, no matter how abstract they are. His tendency to never hold back, regardless of the opponent, is one of the truest forms of equality he provides.
Gimmick:
Above Heaven and under Heaven, I alone am the Honored One.
He declares himself as the Honored One—someone who has transcended past their human limits and in turn, has become ‘one’ with the world itself. He is enlightened and views himself to be the best above all because of it. Originally a prodigy student of Kyokushin karate, he entered the world of pro-wrestling when he was a teenager and has since refined his skill as he grew older and worked as a freelancer in Japan—combining his experience with both worlds to create a form of strong style meant to batter down any opponent that stands in his way.
Regardless of how others think of him, all that matters is rampaging. Regardless of what others might do to him, all that matters is fighting. Regardless if he is beloved or hated, all that matters is standing as the Honored One.
Win or Lose, Kill or be Killed, there’s nothing more savory than a good fight.
In the cutthroat world of pro-wrestler, Tatsuo is fueled by his love for the thrill of battle and his desire to be the one who stands upon a mountain of corpses—THE BEST. The bodhisattva who ends suffering. The demon king who bars others from heaven. He is deserving of this world.
RINGSIDE INFORMATION Theme Music: MAN WITH A MISSION - Dog Days
[size=56] [/size]
Entrance (REQUIRED): Tatsuo makes his way towards the ring as the song's beginning plays out throughout the arena. The hood of his robe is up and over his head, hiding his face from the crowd but one could tell from his steps that he's focused, confident. He doesn't openly interact with fans like a face would but if people stick their hands for high-fives, there's a small chance he'll give them a high-five back.
Once he steps onto the ring apron, he lifts the hood up slightly to observe the crowd and even if it isn't visible, there's a sly smirk on his face.
After entering the ring, he then climbs up and sits on the top rope, treating it as his throne. He then fully lowers his hood and takes off his robe.
(If he has a title, he'll carry the title over his shoulder before holding it in his hands and showing it off to the camera as he walks to the ring. Once seated on the top robe, he'll raise the title before handing it to the ref and taking off his robe.)
MOTIVATIONS What are your character’s motivations for competing?
The landscape of Olympus has shifted dramatically after Final Destination. He’s a champion. World’s Finest is in shambles. His tag partner is more ash than he is human. Though, despite everything, his outlook hasn’t changed too much. He is still an existence that is motivated by the enjoyment that comes with fighting; he’s only changed his tactics. Olympus is a mountain where only the strong survive—he can’t afford to be nice while he’s champion. He has found his heaven to rampage. He’ll rid the mountain of impurity. Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ.
Tendency to Cheat:Rarely
He sees himself as the best, he doesn’t need to blatantly cheat. It ruins the taste of victory, its disgusting. Despite this, he isn’t above using legally gray areas to attack.
IN-RING INFORMATION Favorite Match Types: No real favoritism exists. Though, he'll always enjoy match types that let him utilize his karate against his opponents unrestricted—that's the appeal of full-contact karate, after all. Least Favorite Match Types: Too many rules is an annoyance. If a match type has a longer set of rules than a professional sparring match, it'll get on his nerves. Favorite Weapon: “What, do my fists not count?” In-Ring Achievements: OWA ICARUS CHAMPION (1X) (CURRENT)
In-Ring Style: Puroresu...with an asterisk. Hard-hitting, a bit of flashiness, and full of big-impact moves that only the most prodigal of talents would be capable of doing in succession. He mixes puroresu with his experience as a karate-ka so, as expected, there’s a lot of kicking and strikes mixed in. Nothing is more honorable than the display of martial arts.
Common Moves Multiple Kick Variations
Big boot
Brutality Kick (Soccer to a prone opponent)
Death Roll (Jumping spinning calf to back of the opponent's head)
High kick
Jumping high kick
Soccer kick
Roundhouse to the opponent's head
Thrust Kick/Superkick (can be done to an opponent in corner)

Various Strikes (Palm, Elbow smashes, punches, etc. Usually in succession to a standing/seated/grounded opponent) Kamigoye Dragon Screw Enzuiguri Ude Gatame Air Raid Crash Frankensteiner Crossbody/Diving Crossbody (sometimes used as a reversal against a Saito suplex)
Signature Moves: Minimum of two (2), maximum of five (5)
Serpent's Laceration (Tatsuo performs a drop-toe hold on the opponent to send them crashing face first into the turnbuckle. He then follows it up with a swift kick or knee strike to the face.)
Nirvana (Twisting Brainbuster)
Rashomon (Northern Lights Bomb)
Killshot (High-angle spinning heel, sometimes to an opponent on the top rope)
Tombstone Piledriver (sometimes done on the ring apron)
Finishing Moves: Maximum three (3) and one (1) optional ultra-finisher (UF)
Sixth Heaven (Vertical drop brainbuster, usually with delay)
Grudge Bow (Arm Trap Seated Cloverleaf)
Ultra-finisher:Ganso Bomb
NOTES: Sheet updated post-FD5! It’s mainly streamlined with new additions here and there. Additionally, here's a document that goes into further detail about character material that was deemed too long for the actual forum page. Hyperlink is acting buggy for me so I'll drop the gdocs link here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RuJHTibi2iNk65jSCbUZOSwmVaOfXSIYo3PxZncTCOU/edit?usp=drivesdk
HANDLER INFORMATION Name: Just call me Caster! Kero is another nickname I’ve used in other non-wrestling communities but Caster or Tatsuo is perfectly fine too. Preferred Pronouns:Cat’s out of the bag, ahaha. I’m a girl (so she/her) but I don’t make a fuss about the wrong pronouns being used on me. I’ve gotten used to it LOL. Fed Experience: I am a literal newbie and OWA is my first e-fed (as of now, I’ve been here for 4 months and counting if my math is correct). How did you find us: Through a reddit thread talking about e-feds after I decided to search up what e-feds were after hearing it mentioned in passing. One of the posts mentioned here so I decided to take the plunge.

Might want to clarify the Verticle Spike is a Brainbuster, just because not all our match writers are active Puroresu consumers. Uncultured fucks.
Welcome to OWA! Love the pic base choice and hope to see you do great things!

I actually was going to write out the actual move but I thought that the name Nakajima gave it was more recognizable. Though, I'll do a quick edit to make it more clearer.
And thanks for welcoming me. I hope to impress!

Beep beep. First set of patchnotes have arrived.
Tatsuo's sheet has been tweaked, based off the results of FD5. I've added a few new things (just click on the words linked here for the document) but its been mainly adjusting the formatting (after 200 years). To Season 6, YOSHA!!!
