Alex Slayer

**Alexander Kazuma** (カズマアレクサンダー Kazuma Alexander, born June 18th, 1994) is a Asian-American wrestler and mixed martial artist who works primarily for **Pro Wrestling Nova, World Wrestling Headquarters, One Wrestling Movement**, and **Project Honor** under the ring name of **Alex Slayer**, known for his intense physical in-ring style and incredible agility.

He is also one fifth of the faction known as the **Shinigami Foundation**.

## **Early Life:**

Not much of Alex's early life is known. What has been uncovered about his formative years is that he is the son of a Koran/Japanese woman and an American man who were in a short lived relationship in the early 1990s while his father was working a multi-year tour of Japan and at some point prior to him entering his teens his family moved to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where he would continue his education.

Alex's childhood by his own admission was somewhat interesting as he was viewed as a freak by some of the children due to his mixed heritage with only a couple of actual friends, often getting into fights with the other children due to his mother and godparents advice to always stand up for himself and never take shit from anyone.

## **Training:**

Alex has spent most of his life training as he earned black belts in both *Kyokushin* and *Shidōkan* Karate as well as *Gaidojutsu* as well as a black belt in *Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu*, but he also gained a bachelor's degree from the University of Manitoba in Kinesiology prior to him beginning his pro-wrestling training.

Alex's initial wrestling was conducted by the members of the Global Xtreme Wrestling faction known as the "Dark Carnival" before he went to the Super Japan Pro Wrestling "Dragon's Lair" dojo in Yamaguchi Japan to help him put some finishing on his training. Alex would then briefly work for SJPW in its NEO ARTs rookie division and would appear on actual SJPW television as one of the "Young Dragons" who would help set up the ring, help the senior wrestlers, and such as part of earning his way.

## **Pro Wrestling Nova:**

Alex made his first appearance for Pro Wrestling Nova during the seventh chapter show, "The perils of rock'n'roll decadence", when he opened up the show by running down several things before challenging infamous female wrestler "Q" for a match at PWN's tenth chapter before making another appearance later in the show to hit his infamous "Witchbreaker" move on Remy Ordox after his match with Jacob Knight.

Alex's first in-ring match for the company would actually happen at the show prior, chapter six's "Honor Rising", where he would face off against one half of the company's world tag team champions in the form of the "Natural" Jacob Striker in the main event of that show, eventually winning the match after dropping Striker with the "Black Magic" DDT as the "Real Rock'n'Rolla" was going for his signature Ruffin Kick move-but in the end not only did Alex prove that he was very skilled in the ring but he also managed to give the incredibly tough Jacob Striker a grade two concussion as well.

Alex's next match was a triple threat match to determine the very first PWN International Heavyweight title at the first ever Genesis pay per view and after an incredibly physical match against both Hans Olsen and Stark, Alex was unable to capture the title but in what would be a very rare sign of respect from Alex to anyone-he himself put the title around the waist of the man who had used his experience to narrowly pull out the victory.

On the chapter eight show, "Malice in Wonderland", Alex was put in a match against Remy Ordox who was wanting some revenge on Alex for his attack on him prior but Alex was able to put him down rather quickly and it was here that Tyler Capulet would start referring him to the nicknames that would come to embody Alex as a wrestler.

## **Personal Life:**

Alex is partially of the Okinawan ethnic subgroup of the Ryukyuan ethnic group of the Japanese people and South Korean on his mother's side and he is Ulster Scot or Scotch-Irish and Sicilian on his father's side and as such Alex is multilingual as he speaks English, Japanese, Korean, and Sicilian fluently. However He has trouble with French and will often refuse to speak that language due to the difficulty with it.

Alex is a fan of the anime/manga series **Lupin the Third.**

Alex recently took some time off to be there for the birth of his son, Jason Atamai Kenese Kazuma, who was born on June the 20th, 2022 in Kapa'a Hawaii with his girlfriend.
