Character Info
Name: Emi Watanabe
Height: 6'1”
Weight: 219 lbs.
Hometown: Nagasaki, Japan
Alignment: -1. While likely to be booed more vociferously than most -1s due to her allegiance with Gods & Monsters, Watanabe herself simply lives for the fight and smashing opponents weaker than she is. She hates pretty much everyone roughly equally, with a small handful of exceptions (primarily Ryuji Kamigawa, the remainder of Gods & Monsters (to a lesser extent), and her translator (that's more, well, complicated))
Entrance Music: “Godzilla” by the Blue Oyster Cult
Entrance Description:
The G&M logo makes itself known on the EXOScreen, prompting the crowd to split themselves along partisan lines for a member of EXODUS Pro Wrestling's most notorious heel stable. The Blue Oyster Cult's “Godzilla” begins to play, and amidst the driving guitars, two figures appear at the top of the ramp.
The first is a slight, young Asian man, wearing a Gods & Monsters t-shirt a size too large for him. Known to no small amount of the fans in attendance as Minoru Ishii, twenty-year old Japanese/Linguistics double major at UCSD– he is EXODUS' appointed translator for the force of nature stomping to the ring alongside him.
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Dressed for battle in her usual white Gods & Monsters t-shirt, cowboy boots, and dark blue jeans, the woman who calls herself the Human Kaiju marches towards the ring, forcing Ishii to keep up with her as she hurries on her way to raise Hell.
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
David Zinkus: Introducing at this time!
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
David Zinkus: Standing six feet, one inches tall, she weighs in at two-hundred and eleven pounds! Representings Gods & Monsters, this is THE HUMAN KAIJU... WATANAAAAAABE...EMIIIII!
Minoru quickly climbs up to the ring apron, holding the ropes open for Emi lest she decide to inflict bodily harm on him. Watanabe almost smiles, ruffling his hair as if he were a pet or some such before climbing into the ring, and gesturing for Minoru to assume his usual managerial duties at ringside as “Godzilla” fades out.
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla
Physical Appearance: Light brown/dark brown layered hair, hanging down about neck height. Her forehead is somewhat scarred from competing in street fights and deathmatches back home. Built thick, very much like tag partner Ryuji Kamigawa. (Pic base is Yumiko Hotta; think of Emi as essentially an upsized Hotta with Tsubasa Kuragaki's hair.)
Ring Attire: Watanabe generally dresses for combat as if competing in a joshi street fight. Her ring attire consists of a Gods & Monsters t-shirt (white, always, to soak up any blood spilled by either combatant), cowboy boots, and dark blue jeans. The G&M logo on the shirt will be different colors depending on the match – black for a normal contest, red for a main event match, and gold for any title contest, whether defending or challenging.
Gimmick: Joshi puroresu styled monster heel. Very much epitomizes the “monster” in Gods & Monsters. Loves to brawl and hurt people, and especially loves to take fights outside the ring and beyond. Can often cow officials into not disqualifying her at times due to her size, presence, and faithful manager/translator at ringside.
Personality: 100% all business (at least, on camera). Doesn't speak – she leaves that to her EXODUS hired translator, Minoru Ishii, a UCSD college student. While hired to be her translator, she quickly threatened/cajoled the meek young man into serving as a more proper manager for her at ringside as well. Loves to taunt and mock those fans who give her grief, but also pays respect to the Gods & Monsters fans in the arena.
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Hard-hitting. Watanabe hits like a truck. All of her strikes, for what they lack in technicality, are thrown with malicious, hateful intent.
2. Monster Heeldom. She feeds off of the crowd's dislike – and often uses it to encourage her to beat up her opposition more. When fighting outside the ring, she'll throw an opponent into the barricade and get right up in the face of fans, scream at them in Japanese, the whole nine yards.
3. Minoru Ishii. While a neophyte to wrestling, Watanabe has educated the college student quickly, and he will be of good use distracting the referee so that Emi can get down to her dirty work when needed. The fact that he's utterly terrified of disobeying her helps.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Lack of technical knowhow. Emi's actual basic wrestling knowledge is minimal, so getting her down and working a few good holds will tend to help her opposition immensely. It tends to be the getting her down that's the problem.
2. Bloodlust. Emi tends to enjoy punishing her opposition, at times to the exclusion of going for pinfalls when she perhaps should. This gives opponents chances to get back into bouts that she should likely have had iced minutes ago.
3. No Strategic Variation. She basically has to try and bully people. It's all she has. Against significantly larger opponents, she has a much tougher time, even with cheating like a motherfucker, especially as she's too stubborn to try anything else.
Biography:
Born to middle-class parents in Nagasaki, Japan, Emi Watanabe likes to say that her name (Emi, meaning roughly “beauty” in Japanese) was “God's practical joke.” Growing up athletic, playing rugby as early as she was allowed, Watanabe realized fairly quickly that she was unlikely to be either marriage material or someone who could tolerate working a white collar job.
As such, she soon homed in on professional wrestling as a potential career, after spending time in college and university as a member of the women's sumo club. The “real wrestling” experience got her foot in the door, and put her in contact with figures in joshi puroresu.
Entering professional wrestling training in late 2007 via the DREAM*DOJO, the vaunted training facility of Japanese joshi company DREAM*STAR, Emi worked her way to graduate the school by early 2009, making her debut as a pro in March of that year.
Watanabe's sheer size and violent demeanor made her a rookie to watch. She soon teamed up with fellow university sumo player Miwa Takayama, and the pair cut a swath of destruction throughout 2010 that eventually led them to the TWIN*STAR Championships towards the end of the year. Miwa and Emi held the titles for almost all of 2011, before finally losing them in November. The pair broke up and targetted one another, leaving to several hard hitting battles until the girls finally settled their differences in June 2012 in a street fight that Emi won.
Turning her attention to the QUEEN OF DREAM*STAR Championship, held by Sayuri Tsujita, Emi challenged for the title twice in the second half of 2012, being disqualified once, and losing via submission to the more experienced girl in Emi's second street fight of the year.
Emi took the year 2013 largely off from professional wrestling, opting not to resign with DREAM*STAR and becoming a freelancer. She appeared on only twelve shows in the year, most of them larger events. Many expected more of the same in 2014, with Watanabe working her way slowly towards an early retirement. Theories for why this could be sprouted up, but nothing could be confirmed.
All theories, though, were dashed when Watanabe showed up in American independent company EXODUS Pro Wrestling, at the side of Ryuji Kamigawa as his new tag team partner. The next day, it was announced that she had been signed to a one year contract by the company. Most see Emi committing to 26 dates as a sign that she's not ready to hang up the tights after only a five year career.
Whatever the case, the Human Kaiju comes to EXODUS Pro hellbent on her usual brand of violence and mayhem. With the largest man on the EXODUS roster as her tag team partner, it stands to reason that there may be no duo in the company as violent and imposing as they are.
Wrestling Style: Joshi monster puro heeldom, adapted for the EXODUS Pro environment. Against junior heavyweights, she will basically attempt to throw them around just as she would smaller women in general, with lots of striking, power moves, and general heelishness. Against bigger opponents, she ratchets up the rough brawling and cheating to 11 and tries to strike her opposition out of the contest after fishhooking or kneeing them in the groin. Generally works over the head and neck to the exclusion of most other strategies when not cheating.
Finishers
1. AK-09 (Unfathomably stiff rising left elbow strike, thrown uppercut-style, and designed to land under the chin.The name is, of course, a play on the AK-47 assault rifle, with 09 = 2009, the year Watanabe debuted.)
2. Descent to Yomi (Back to belly piledriver, aka the Bull's Poseidon/Beach Break. Watanabe's “limit break” finisher.)
Signature Moves
1. Ghidorah's Hammer (Running lariat to the back of an opponent's head.)
2. Crown of Thorns (Pulling piledriver. Think Mick Foley)
3. E-M-I (Left elbow → right elbow → delayed right spinning back fist. Pronounced Eee-Emm-Eye)

2. Kneelift to the abdomen.
3. Double stomp (standing, to prone opponent)
4. Running back senton to prone opponent.

6. Vertical suplex (delayed vertical suplex against lighter foes)
7. Flapjack (elevating an opponent in the air, and then simply letting them fall style)
8. Hair mares (she's different from most in that she does them to guys, too. Anyone with hair is fair game! Plus she likes to LAUNCH people)
9. Samoan drop
10. Front powerslam (aka, the World's Strongest Slam)
11. Inverted sidewalk slam (imagine a gutwrench suplex lift simply dropped face-first to the canvas)
12. Repeated front backbreakers (a la Brock Lesnar)

22. Elbow combinations to the head with the foe trapped in the corner.
