    ( The attacker stands behind the victim. The attack reaches around the victim's body with one leg so it is around the victim's side and between their leg's, hooking the leg on the same side as the attacker's leg. The attacker hooks the victim's other leg with one arm and falls backwards to the mat. The attacker then rolls around in a circle on the mat, using their free hand to push off, causing the victim to spin around.

Kenji feels no remorse for those he cripples or bloodies in the ring, his in ring style can best be described as unsympathetic. Outside of the ring Kenji knows of his reputation of brutality and is desperatly trying to make a change to become a somewhat better person. Kenji makes no denial of what he has done and is not trying to make ammends for the brutality he creates or has created, but he realizes something in his life must change.

Background:
Kenji's mother was a hooker for a gang in the Yakuza in Japan and his father was a businessman up to his eyeballs in debt. Kenji's Uncle Goro was a Yakuza boss that employed his mother as a hooker and conned his parents into allowing him to use Kenji as an heir to his Yakuza Gang's throne. When Kenji was 10 years old he gutted a betrayer with a pocket knife at the order of his Uncle. As Kenji grew older he molded into a vicious Yakuza thug at the hands of his Uncle, seeing this brutality from Kenji and a sudden rise in Japanese Wrestlers being gambled on, Goro put Kenji to work in the wrestling business as a betting chip to give him the advantage in all bets. Kenji saw an undefeated streak of 21-0 at one point and had even been given his own gang to control. However, after a title loss that cost his Uncle over 5 Million Dollars Kenji was ousted from his own gang and thrown off the roof of his three story Yakuza complex. Kenji survived falling into a stash of garbage filled with bloodied limbs he had ordered killed, ironically Kenji had been saved by those he had killed. In his time running from the Yakuza he found a young boy named Akira, his father had been dissected at the hands of Kenji while he was still a boss...for some reason Kenji felt pity for the boy and took him under his wing. He treated the boy well and didn't try to train him to be a killer. However, one of Kenji's old running mates, Azraith DeMitri, hung the boy from a noose, killing him, to get to Kenji. Kenji was never the same and went into an insane tyraid of destroying all he faced. To this day Kenji has never been the same since that day and has been looking for a purpose.
