Gimmick:
Young Mysterious Lucharesu masked wrestler, eager to prove herself on the world stage.
COLOUR CODE:
E55E7F

Background:
Much like many masked wrestlers, her real name is kept from public record and with it, most of her history prior to the life of wrestling. But the Captivating masked star of MAYHEM has given small glimpses of her life prior to wrestling. Starting young like several top female performers in the country, Vampiress started her training in early High school, to the dismay of her parents despite being seen as a gifted student excelling in school. So much so that she wrestled under a mask from day one, though the Vampiress name did not happen right away. Instead, eventually, as she was scouted by the units in the company, she was drafted into SIN, a group of freaks and villains in Cosmic Joshi Wrestling. There the Vampiress persona was crafted, creating an appearance to feed off of her negative emotions and inspire beauty and fear into her name. She started off well after joining SIN, winning the “Young Blood Tournament,” a tournament held by the company for wrestlers 19 and under. Then eventually won her first Trios titles.

However, as she matured, and her family found out who she was (and thus the long process of getting them to accept her dreams), she grew dissatisfied with the group, both with how they would routinely step over the line, and the leader. Things came to a head where in a tag team match she walked out on her team, getting away from the group. She was a loner for several months, and even was on a losing streak. Eventually, Vampiress found a home in MAYHEM, after a vote unanimously accepted her. Finding a new lease on life, she got the ball rolling again, starting to team with another member, ironically one she beat in the finals of the tournament she won years ago, Ririko. Then, almost a year later, MAYHEM got a foreign member, a rare sight, especially after the pandemic. That girl was around her age too. Cali Hayama. Much like MAYHEM gave Vampiress a new lease on life, it was the same for Cali and the three young members of the group instantly clicked with them winning the company’s Trios championships, Vampiress’ second reign, and they would become the Trio to beat.

Their reign ended at 315 days after Cali Hayama, having been unable to really focus due to her US commitments, hesitating and costing them the match. Tensions nearly blew up, but they were calmed by MAYHEM’s leader and their mentor, Saori Suzuki. Afterwards, Vampiress revealed to Cali that she wishes to go on a tour in America. This caught the eye of Cal Robinson of FWA management. He extended an offer to her to spread her wings more in America and ever hungry for competition, she accepted a per-appearance deal with Fantasy Wrestling Alliance under the slightly modified name of Vampyra.

Her start in the promotion was fast and furious, going from facing nobodies to getting lucky chosen as part of the F1 Climaxxx tournament, facing some of the best in the promotion including champions. During this time, she would win her first singles championship in her career, the FWA Television Championship. The catch, she drew the ire of the previous champion, Shawn Summers who attacked her. Despite losses in the tournament, she made significant progress in a short time, earning respect from the crowd and having a rising stock as not just a future star, but one of the now. Though her title reign was cut short thanks to a fatal four way defense, the message was clear. She is capable of hanging with ANYONE on the roster AND capable of competing at a championship level.

Though, that start ended up being too hard on the young star. With the majority of her time in a European Tour, far away from home, she was left burnt out mentally and physically and took a brief, but extended absence from the promotion in order to wrestle at home and reflect. She made her first in person appearance back at The Grand March announcing that she will enter the CC and rid herself of a curse that was put on her long ago. That curse turned out to be: the Vampyra persona.

Entering the match, she debuts a new mask, a spirit she feels is more true to her and a new name. Gone is the darkness, and instead a more free spirited persona and colourful. Katsu. Since becoming Katsu, she has seemingly continued her momentum on both sides of the pacific, with YOKAI Death Squad emerging as a Unit of its own in Japan, appearing in FWA, and being in multiple title pictures in FWA. However an injury derailed her momentum and once healed, spent an extended time away from FWA owing to Japanese commitments, including her first singles title in Japan, and a growing tension between FWA and CJW.

But finally, at the Carnal Contendership 2024, Katsu made her return. The Kitsune Warrior would enter the Sphere in Las Vegas at #26. She would not just match what she did the previous year, qualifying for Steel Roulette again, but making it all the way to the final two. Across her was fellow returnee, Krash. On that night, the Mustached Maverick would triumph, setting up an almost destined showdown with Jeremy Best, but, once again, Katsu’s growth has continued and is certainly destined for big thing on both sides of the Pacific.

She often has a mix of red, white, pink, gold, and black to fit with her Kitsune astetic, or reps YOKAI Death Squad with black or white and neon colours. For big matches, she often themes her colours either based on the match, opponent, or city. EX: Green, white, and red in Mexico City fighting fellow masked wrestler, Vengedor, all white at "Worlds Unite" in the dead of winter.

Entrances she usually has a cape which flows behind her. Then often an extra mask for the entrance. Often it is a larger, slightly more elaborate version of her normal mask, but she mixes it up for big matches and other occasions.

Theme Music:

MEGITSUNE- メギツネ By Babymetal

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}

Entrance Motions:

The drums of "Megitsune'' cause the arena lights to flash in tune, drawing cheers from the fans. After seven seconds, a shadowy figure appears on the stage. Her arms are crossed in front of her chest, hands in a fox head pose as the LED lights behind her show nine Kitsune tails flowing behind her. As the music picks up, she spreads her arms wide as fire spurts from the side of the stage. Katsu basks in the glow of the fire before doing a throat slashing gesture as the rest of the LED lights are on. Cape flowing behind her, Katsu makes her way down to the ring.

Announcer: "Introducing First/Their opponent, representing YOKAI Death Squad, from Osaka, Japan, she is the Kitsune Warrior, KAAATSUUUU!!!"

Moving down the ramp at a somewhat quick pace, Katsu removes her entrance mask to show her regular one and she gives a small head tilt while holding it next to her head. Going around the ring, she places her entrance mask on the apron before sliding on the apron.. One hand on the ropes, she opens up her cape and closes her eyes, keeping a calm aura to her. She steps into the ring between the middle and bottom rope.

Heading to the nearest corner turnbuckles, Katsu climbs up them and puts one foot on the top rope. She does another throat slash before winking to the crowd. Heading down, she leans down in a superhero-like pose, holding her arms in an “X” in front of her chest. Katsu’s hands again have the Fox-head gesture before she spins around and heads to her corner unclipping her cape as her music ends

Face
COLOUR CODE:
27C40C
Gimmick:
Video game streamer and content creator by day, Joshi by night.
Background:
An Asian-Canadian who grew up a proud geek with bright pink hair, Cali found wrestling as an easy escape, along with video games. The gaming world dictated part of her life, letting her float to more hobbies (including wrestling itself along with parkour, even paintball and more). As she went into wrestling, she decided to let it dictate her presentation, turning every match into a geek-fest as Cali X. This allowed her a chance to wrestle for a company called Liberty or Death Wrestling, where she had a handful of matches, including an upset win over a recent world title contender. Her time in the said company was short-lived, however, due to a global pandemic forcing a shutdown (our kayfabe reason for closing).

After some time sitting at home, Cali got double vaccinated and was allowed a brief tour in a Joshi company in Japan. As per tradition, she wrestled a number of tag team matches with their factions, leading to a singles match. With her being an outsider, the company had her fill in for an injured regular, who was in a group called MAYHEM. They did not get along at first, with Cali having to earn their trust and her style clashing with the group. After talking to the group’s leader, Cali attempted to fit in, and it ended up helping. The group warmed up to Cali and turned around their fortune for the rest of the tour. After her final match, Cali was embraced by the group and was made a member of the group.

Upon her return to North America, she took time to reinvent herself, removing her vibrant pink hair and rechristening herself as the Slayer Queen, showing more of a chip on her shoulder. While her fans were concerned about the change, she has since reassured them that she still performs for them, just this is about her maturing as a competitor and has since found a balance between her current self with MAYHEM and some of her personal side out of the ring. In the time since, she has primarily focused her wrestling in Japan, balancing it with her 2 mill+ YouTube channel and Twitch career. She’s known to be very close with her trio of friends, dubbing themselves YOKAI Death Squad. Though Katsu, one of them, has since wrestled in FWA, she has not had much of a desire to make the jump to FWA also, until there was a trios division announced (and maybe some other ‘reasons’ too <3 ).

The original YDS trio would appear as a fixture in the early days of FWA’s Trios division, coming close to being FWA Trios Champions twice while Katsu still would balance it with her singles division commitments. But, the Kitsune Warrior would injure herself out of the ring and after Cali would fulfil one more commitment, the trio would drop out of their bookings in FWA.

Focusing on Japan, upon Katsu’s return from injury, YOKAI Death Squad would become a full-fledged unit, with Katsu and Cali agreeing to be co-leaders of the unit. They would even expand, adding Ririko’s sister, REO, and Miyu Kawamato. But they would not appear in FWA for over six months with some “tension” between their two promotions. But with Katsu’s return at the Carnal Contendership, it appears the door is open again for them.

Theme music:

Internet Friends by Knife Party (Intro Cut)

ENTRANCE:

The opening to “Internet Friends” begins to build as the arena’s lights are dim before flashes of lights begin to dance to the music. Red, purple, pink, and neon green in tune with the music as Cali Hayama makes her way out, walking with confidence to her as her jacket flops around. She has a half mask on, with a part of it covering her eye and she kneels down. Smoke shoots up on both sides of her as she points her finger forward, sideways like a gun. After a moment she hops up and heads down the ramp.

Announcer: "Introducing first/their opponent, representing YOKAI Death Squad, from Kelowna, British Columbia Canada, she is Next Level, Cali Hayama!"

On her way down the ramp, the Sky Devil has her arms out to her side and moves loosely. As she gets to the ringside area she quickly hops onto the apron and pulls on the top rope, getting loose. Leaping over the top rope, she gets into the ring and quickly heads towards the ropes on the hard-cam side. Hooking her leg on the top rope, she flips back her hair. She takes off her mask and shows a confident smirk. Winking, the Asian-Canadian hops down off the ropes and goes towards her corner, sliding off her jacket as her theme music fades away.

Gimmick:
Powerhouse Joshi who contrasts her size with a bubbly and slightly crazy personality
Background:
Ririko has been an interesting case. Having a large growth spurt as a girl in Japan, she towered over most of her classmates and some teachers by middle school. Despite that, she really has never been much of an intimidating force and was far more bubbly, creative. If anything was made fun of by some classmates for being so large. However, she found an escape, pro-wrestling. Given her natural size, it was a likely transition, though it started out rough for her. With her size, she was a touch clumsy early on and it didn’t help that she was balancing wrestling with her school commitments. But, she managed to get under the learning tree of Saori Suzuki who recruited her for a new unit she was forming, MAYHEM. Ririko was the first young recruit of the group, focusing on building the future of the promotion. She slowly would gain confidence, having a rivalry with a future friend, Vampiress (or as we know her as now, Katsu).

Things went to a whole new level once her former rival would join the group as the two would click instantly as tag team partners and friends, showing that sometimes opposites do attract. Later, a foreign girl would join the group, Japanese-Canadian, Cali Hayama, and the three friends would be inseparable. Proving to be a great trio in their home country and even as a pair with her and Cali Hayama becoming the CJW Tag Team Champions. The three would name their trio “YOKAI Death Squad” and act as a mini-Unit within their larger unit. Though with Katsu bouncing back and forth between Japan and America, they seemed to be content letting her do her own thing in America and cheer her on from afar.

Then came a certain set of championships and despite Ririko’s limited understanding of the English language (She's working on it!), they are appealing to her. Ririko would appear alongside Cali and fight in the Trios division with Katsu, being contenders for the titles. After Katsu's injury, the two quietly would not appear in FWA, instead focusing on building the unit at home. With her younger sister, REO, joining, and Miyu Kawamato, who shares a love of singing and danging with Ririko, their group of friends have expanded more!

ENTRANCE

The intro to "Follow my Voice" builds as the lights of the arena flash all different colours. After fifteen secondsRiriko runs out onto the stage going from side to side, playing to the crowd. She spins around before doing an over the shoulder pose, and winking. Her jacket flops around as she moves out. She flips her ponytails, the mask's tongue flicks.

Announcer: “Introducing first/their opponent, representing YOKAI Death Squad, from Nagano, Japan, she is POWER Girl… RIRIIIIKOOOO!!!”

On her way to the ring, the Joshi moves fast, circling the ring. She high-fives some of her hopeful fans. Back at the ramp, Ririko backs up before running and sliding into the ring. She rushes to one of the corner turnbuckles and heads up them, removing her mask. She winks to the fans, sticking out her tongue, before the energetic powerhouse steps down as her theme music fades and she slides off her jacket.

The Shadow is the Light By The Sixth Lie

Entrance:

The lights of the arena flash around the stage as “Shadow is the Light” plays. After about thirteen seconds REO makes her way our, waving her arms as she walks. REO tilts her head as the chains of her jacket drag on the ground. She spread her arms out, head back, before she slides herself forward, walking down the ramp.

Announcer: Introducing first/their opponent, representing YOKAI Death Squad, from Nagano, Japan, she is the Shadow Queen, REO!

Going down the ramp, REO appears to be in her own little world, moving along with her music. At ringside, she crawls closer to the steps, resting a hand on them. The Shadow Queen then suddenly rushes up to them and swings herself into the ring. Rushing to the ropes, she leans on the middle rope, peering her head through the ropes. Removing her Oni mask, she shows a wild grin before she goes to her corner. REO’s theme music fades as the lights return to normal.

Gimmick/Backstory:

REO is the younger sister to former CJW Tag Team Champion, Ririko, and if you thought Ririko was a bit off, you have not seen anything yet! The younger sister to the MAYHEM member has been training for two years under CJW’s head trainer, Yukari Kozakai and taking part in occasional undercard matches, just under her real name Reo Hoshiki and not even mentioning publicly her sister is an active, and rising star in the company. She didn’t have much of a “character” to start, a common occurrence for many starting (After all, current FWA and CJW star, Katsu, simply began as “The Masked Girl.”) But, as she got beat down more and more, and as she got better with her training, the more we saw just how brutal in the ring she could be. Hard strikes, wild laughter, and an explosiveness some don’t get for years. Still raw, but a lot of potential to be brought out.

Four months before her 18th birthday, she debuted her new persona, “The Shadow Queen,” REO, a girl who walked on her own personal dark side. This sparked an invitation to join the group Sin. After all, a group dedicated to indulging in the dark could be the right place to bring her up to be a future star. They offered a “try-out tag match” for her. The opponents… MAYHEM, including her sister. While her side ended with a loss, she did well, and had no problem duking it out with her older sister, likely used to it for her entire life. But, after the match, a beat-down on MAYHEM began, and that was where she drew a line. She helped even the odds, and revealed the familiar relationship afterwards. Her sister, along with her tag partner, and MAYHEM’s leader, Saori Suzuki, called a vote to see if she could join the group, but the vote was not unanimous, with two holdouts, wanting her to prove more and not wanting nepotism to rule the group.

So, her way to do so: Excursion. MAYHEM member and close friend of her sister, Katsu, is already in FWA as a rising star. She also has shockingly proven to be a successful coach despite her age, leading El Vengador to a victory on Ground Zero Season four. Opening the door once again to America, the joshi prodigy is joining Season Five, not just to give herself much needed international experience to “prove herself” and maybe, become an international superstar at just the young age of 18. She would make it to the second last episode, showing an edge before getting eliminated. Around that time, Katsu ended up injured and that lead to some time for reflection for her. She would apologize to Katsu for her behaviour, and ended up joining the newly established YOKAI Death Squad unit. Though still short tempered, she has found herself comfortable teaming with her sister and friends, slowly getting better at channeling her emotions in a less dangerous way. As the Unit’s youngest/least experienced member, she still has room to grow, but she’s as hard hitting as they come.

Name: Miyu Kawamoto

Nicknames: Wild Heart

“Hardcore/Deathmatch Idol”
(Because she is a former Idol who does Deathmatches. Her 'Legend' is being built)

Height: Five Foot Three

Weight: 115 Pounds

Age or D.O.B: 25 Years of Age

Billed From: Tokyo, Japan

Disposition: Babyface

Gimmick/Background:

Originally part of Idol group ‘SUPER GIRLS,” Miyu found herself in wrestling thanks to one of its members wrestling part-time (Though she has since retired) and the cheerful but wild Kawamoto transitioned nicely into wrestling, slowly getting used to the rigors of training in the ring but accompanying her matches with singing and dancing for her entrance while she wrestled the greater Japanese independent scene. She would gain a cult-like following with her entrances, technical ability, and on occasion, a tendency to show a wild side. That was explored when, on a show where a deathmatch had an opponent drop out, she would accept and despite her getting her ass kicked, she grew to enjoy the rush. She began to incorporate more hardcore elements in her matches, weapons, skewers, barbed-wire, and would get a taste for blood, showing an edge with. Miyu would also slowly stop singing and dancing to the ring (though she still loved to perform and even after leaving the group, still sings in her spare time) and she would have a reputation as one of the better female deathmatch stars in the country while not sacrificing her skill between the ropes.

Her talents would draw the eyes of COSMIC Joshi Wrestling, who would sign the freelancer. Though deathmatches are less common in CJW, she would show she still has the skills to survive, occasionally adding a blood-soaked splash of violence when needed. She would remain factionless during the late parts of 2023, but began to advertise her “services” to other groups. Some would instantly shy away from her due to her deathmatch history, while others she herself refused to join. Then finally, the newly formed unit, YOKAI Death Squad would extend an olive branch to her. Though their faction co-leader, Katsu, admitted herself that “She is not a Deathmatch wrestler” the group appreciates her heart in the ring and they welcome her being uniquely her. Now in YDS, she has her crew she can roll with and have quickly grown to trust them as friends. Who knows? Maybe they’ll warm up to the hardcore life? -Probably not Katsu at least…

Theme music:

フルカウンター (Full Counter) By Jugs Mafia

Entrance Motion:

The heavy riffs of "Full Counter" rips through the speakers of the arena as the arena lights flash pink and red. As the siren blares, Miyu Kawamoto makes her way out, hood up, signature bat in her hand which she twirls. Standing in the middle of the stage, the Wild Heart places the bat on her shoulder and kneels down. Flipping her hood back, she leaps up and shows a wide grin as she heads down the aisle way towards the ring.

Ring Announcer: "Introducing first/their opponent, from Tokyo, Japan, representing YOKAI Death Squad, Wild Heart, Miyu Kawaaamotooo!"

Turning to the fans, Miyu shuffles and motions for them to cheer before taking a turn and heading towards the hard camera side of the ring, sliding onto the apron. She swings herself into the ring and heads towards the middle of the ring. Getting on a knee, she puts the bat on her shoulder and does a "Rock hand" gesture, sticking her pierced tongue out. The official reminds her to get her bat out of the ring so she rolls it towards her corner on the floor and sheds her hood as her theme music fades away.

Tag Team History:

MAYHEM was Formed in 2018 from the dissolution of the group of the Tokyo Death Crew, Saori Suzuki refused to be absorbed in another group, feeling vengeful at the forced dissolution of TDC. Her voice was echoed by a portion of fans, and while she could not carry the name of the old group, she felt she had something to offer and bestow upon other members. Having a call to anyone feeling left out of their group or feeling alone, soon MAYHEM was formed, and their goal, simple, Screw the System, and together they will show that when nothing is fair, anything goes. Though over the years, the stance has been softened a bit with their growing popularity. An early recruit was Ririko, at the time

Some members would enter and leave, but eventually, this message ended up speaking to Vampyra (Now Katsu) who was on her own after escaping from her abusive former group, Sin. She joined the group. After the company returned post-pandemic, she got back on track and then Cali Hayama would join the group. Together they would form a regular trio with Ririko, another young member of the group, and the three were practically in sync as a team, each being a bit unique, with Cali being loud and brash, Katsu being the often calmer force but cunning, and Ririko being the wild-card with an abnormal combination of being able to kick faces in and throw people around with ease. This then unnamed trio became a great team and became CJW Trios Champions for nearly a year. Their success drew the attention of FWA where Cal Robertson successfully recruited Katsu to work for both companies. In the meantime, Cali and Ririko have shown their prowess as a team, winning CJW’s tag team Championships. Though by the time they won their belts Katsu lost her first singles championship- point proven, all three young ladies are capable of gaining gold both sides of the pacific. They are seemingly content to let Katsu continue her work in FWA along with their home promotion and work from afar-

Until a certain set of championships were introduced. Cali and Ririko would begin to appear for FWA, competing in the Trios division while Katsu balanced her singles title pursuits. This ended with Katsu breaking her collarbone and thus taking time away from FWA. Once their old unit, MAYHEM, officially ended following Virtue's split, YDS would become its own unit, thus adding to the responsibility and its members, with first Ririko's younger sister being added, then Miyu Kawamato joining. Katsu is finally back in FWA, with her two promotions, and while the rest of YDS are not contracted to the promotion, it's safe to say the Sky Fox has opened the door for them once again.

Tag Team Strategy:

Control the pace, keep the speed going, only slowing it down when needed such as grinding down an opponent but otherwise are zooming. A lot of fast paced, double team combinations. Ririko, even with her being more power based. Newer members each bring their own addition to it, but keep a generally quick pace.

Theme Music:
“Delete” by Kuwanano

Entrance (Original Trio):

The lights of the stage flash a mixture of neon green, purple, with occasional flashes of red to the music. The screens flash an 8-bit skull logo repeatedly. After about eighteen seconds, the YOKAI Death Squad Trio makes their way out. Katsu keeps her hand to her side, cape flowing behind her. Ririko runs to one side of the stage, amped up, as Cali Hayama hops in place. Ririko joins her partners in the middle of the stage as there are sparks of pyrotechnics. Standing next to Katsu, Ririko spins around and holds up the MAYHEM “M,” her masks "tongue" flopping around. Katsu crosses her arms in front of her, holding her hands in a “fox head” gesture as Cali Hayama kneels down in front of them, pointing her hand out like a sideways gun. The Canadian jumps up as all three begin to head down the ramp.

Announcer: “Introducing first/Their opponents..., the Sky Devil, Cali Hayama, the Crazy Ghost, Ririko and the Kitsune Warrior, Katsu… YOKAI DEATH SQUAD!!!

The three wrestlers head down the ramp before Katsu makes a break for the hard-cam side of the ring. The former FWA Television Champion opens her cape as she slides onto the apron. Cali Hayama jumps onto the apron and jumps over the top rope as Ririko slides into the ring. Katsu quickly does the spits and slides into the ring. Ririko and Katsu head to parallel turnbuckles as Cali Hayama hooks her leg on the top rope, removing her half mask and showing a smirk. The three head back to the middle of the ring and exchange a triple fist bump before heading to their corner.
