Wakatsuki Takeshi

==Summary==
Wakatsuki Takeshi, also known as the Wild Tiger, is the affiliated fighter of Furumi Pharmaceuticals; he represented the company during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Wakatsuki is the longest-serving active affiliated Kengan fighter and has the highest win record of all affiliated fighters. He is usually quiet and is easy to befriend. Outside of battle he is levelheaded, making observations some people wouldn't notice, but in battle this begins to slip; even then, he is not entirely without reason. This was shown during his battle with Julius, where he took all of Julius's blows, then defeated him with a vicious kick to the head, after he deduced he couldn't win through body strikes.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , far higher with Blast Core
Name: Wakatsuki Takeshi, The Wild Tiger, Tiger Cub
Origin: Kenganverse
Gender: Male
Age: 40 | 42
Classification: Human, Fighter for Furumi Pharmaceuticals
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Expert Martial Artist (Full-Contact Karate and an unspecified style of grappling, most likely Judo), Damage Boost (He can increase his damage output with Blast Core), Aura and Enhanced Senses (Was able to hear Chiba's monologue despite the large crowd of people talking)
Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Shook a mountain with his strikes. Repeatedly stated to be the physically strongest man in the Kengan Association, and possibly the world as well. Tokita Ohma said that his strikes were stronger than Kure Raian's. His kicks are stated to be three times stronger than normal punches and, albeit with a surprise hit to his jaw followed by another while he was stunned, he was able to knock out Julius Reinhold, an equal in strength who could tank his punches thanks to his larger build), far higher with Blast Core (Vastly superior to his normal blows. Damaged Julius, who said that it could one-shot him if it hit a vital point. Fei Wangfang, even in his Divine Demon form, desperately avoided getting hit by it) 
Speed: Subsonic (Landed the first strike against a charging Murobuchi Gozo, who is renowned for his running speed, albeit he was blitzed when Murobuchi took his crouching start to unleash his flying knee. Had the lead in blows against Julius Reinhold. Kept up with and even at times blitzed the likes of Muteba Gizenga, Tokita Ohma and base Fei Wangfang)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Comparable to Julius, who can crush a steel ball and stop a racing car without moving. Muteba and Divine Demon Fei were injured by and unable to break out of his holds, forcing him to use acupuncture strikes and unleash Divine Demon: Maximum Output, respectively)
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block level (Rendered Ohma's arms and legs nigh useless, broke his bones and nearly ruptured his liver, even all while he was using Indestructible. His kicks knocked out Julius, who was too tough for his normal attacks), far higher Blast Core (By compressing all of his muscles to a single point, he can focus all of his power into a single blow. Seriously injured Julius, sending him flying a few feet away)
Durability: Multi-City Block level (Endured dozens of strikes from Julius, and twice endured having his own strength reflected back at him by Tokita Ohma's Demonsbane. Continuously took flurries of strikes from Divine Demon Fei and kept standing, dumbfounding him with his resilience)
Stamina: Superhuman. Has continuously shown himself able to stand back up and fight after being thoroughly pummeled by the likes of Julius and Divine Demon Fei. He was stabbed in the neck by Muteba, which would've instantly killed any normal person, and only blacked out for a moment. He was even still able to stand after taking Tokita Ohma's Demonsbane, albeit barely.
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None Notable
Intelligence: Above Average. Skilled in Rokushin Kaikan's style of Full-Contact Karate, which involves charging at foes and throwing combinations of strikes with maximum power and speed at point-blank range. Liu Dongcheng, a prodigy talented enough to go toe-to-toe with Rolón Donaire, referred to Wakatsuki himself as a master. Has also trained in an unspecified art of grappling, mostly likely Judo, boasting some throws but primarily holds, though he's not especially skillful and relies heavily on his raw strength. Was able to continuously outsmart Muteba Gizenga, an expert assassin who might be the most powerful and skilled individual in all of Africa. He has also shown a less refined version of Okubo Naoya's strategy of using strikes and grapples as decoys for one another. Although his strategies have at times involve letting himself take severe, potentially lethal damage, that can be said to show his drive to win at any cost. 
Weaknesses: Though skilled and strategic, his pride in his strength causes him to ultimately always try and brute force his way through things, leaving him vulnerable to soft styles, like Hatsumi Sen's Aikido, and adaptive styles, like Kanoh Agito's Formless. Blast Core's range is shorter than his straight punch, and using it damages his right ankle, with continuous usage rendering him unable to move, though that went unmentioned throughout his fight with Fei, even when he used multiple. He was left blind in his right eye after his fight against Julius, though he adapted to it throughout his fight with Muteba, it was barely a weakness by the time he fought Ohma, and it also went unmentioned throughout his fight with Fei.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Blast Core: Wakatsuki's single technique which he invented as his "ace in the hole" for Kanoh Agito. This is a powerful punch which involves compressing all of his muscles to a single point in the centre of his body and then unleashing it; the form of this technique bears a striking resemblance to the no-motion reverse punch of traditional karate.
