Backstory/Important Character Details: A rising star in the sumo world, Stephen Rogers garnered a lot of negative publicity for his insistence that Americans were genetically better at every sport. Taking the competitive name of Shujin Yama (Master Mountain), he began backing it up. With every win, the Japanese public hated him more and more, and they would pay their hard earned money to see him fail. However, as Stephen began to grow more and more confident, he began pushing the rules to their limit until eventually… he crossed it. Now, disqualified from ever competing in sumo again, his business manager Sensei Abe Lincoln convinced him to make his fortune in a new line of work professional wrestling. Though he experienced great success in the short-lived Cleveland-based Classic Wrestling, his attitude led him to not being a target to be picked up by other companies when CW folded. Until now.

Strengths:
- Mass and strength. Yama is difficult to move if he doesn't want to, and exceptionally good at moving others.
- Cunning. At first glance the relationship between Yama and his manager, Sensei Abe Lincoln, suggests Lincoln is pulling the strings. The more you get to know them, the more that seems incorrect.
- Violent. Yama seems to enjoy inflicting pain on others.

Weaknesses:
- Slow. For a big guy he can move pretty good, but it's not enough to keep up with smaller wrestler's.
- Yama doesn't care much for rules and so doesn't have a strong reputation.

Entrance Theme Music (Provide YouTube link as well as name and version): Kimiyago - The Japanese Natjonal Anthem

Ring Entrance (PLEASE write one out for use in match/show writing): The Japanese National anthem begins playing as Sensei Abe Lincoln steps out onto the stage waving a Japanese flag. Shujin Yama follows behind, in a sparkly white robe bedazzled in red diamantes. They march down to the ring, Yama paying no attention to the crowd while Sensei Lincoln laughs and taunts them. Arriving to the ring, Sensei Lincoln walks up the steps and holds the middle rope down for Yama to step through. He bows in the centre of the ring, as Sensei Lincoln unhooks Yama’s robe. Once freed, he raises his left leg and drops into a dramatic sumo pose while shouting something incomprehensible to both English- and Japanese-speaking audiences.
