Akira Jōdai

***Yumi Jōdai***

***Akira Jōdai ( 昭常台 )** is a Japanese-American professional wrestler under the current ring name of A.J. and is one of the owners of **Stargazer Pro Wrestling.** **Akira** has been wrestling for 16 years with this being his 17th year. **Akira** can speak in both English and Japanese, as he was born in **Orlando, FL** and his family was Japanese.*

## ▪ ***Early Life***

### ***▫ Living In America (1981-1993)***

***Jōdai** was born on **February 19, 1981** in **Orlando, FL.** His parents, **Daisuke (Father)** and **Hibari (Mother)** would try to raise **Akira** as best they possibly could by treating him as one of their major priorities along with their jobs. The two have been living in **Orlando, FL** for seven years before **Akira** was born and lived in good living conditions. So, it can be said **Akira** pretty much lived your standard ordinary life in **America** at the time as he had a good place to live, two loving parents, as well as a good education.*

*During **Akira's** childhood in America, his father, **Daisuke**, would introduce him to video games as well as sports which **Akira** would grow up to have quite a fascination of said two. His mother, **Hibari**, would provide him with the best school that Orange County had to offer at the time. **Akira** would also be an ace in all of his classes. Succeeding all of his teachers exceptions when they had met **Akira** at the time. **Akira** would have a sibling, a sister named **Yui**, who was born just six years after **Akira** was born. The family of four would continue to live in Orlando until **February 18, 1993,** just before **Akira's** twelfth birthday, where **Daisuke** and **Hibari** ultimately decided to celebrate **Akira's** birthday going to Japan, where the rest of the **Jōdai** family had resided at the time and who **Akira** and **Yui** were going to meet for the first time. So, **Akira's** family would pack their bags, drive to the airport, where they had already paid for their tickets beforehand, and take a plane to **Osaka, Japan.***

### ***▫ Brand New Start In Japan (1993-2008)***

***Akira's family** would eventually make it to **Osaka** on **February 19, 1981.** The first thing they would do when they made it to the airport, they were finding their bags full of clothes and other items, which they did ultimately grab and went to the airport's exit, where the rest of the **Jōdai family** was waiting patiently. **Akira** would meet the rest of his family, who would greet him, **Yui**, and his parents with open arms. After their meetup, **the Jōdai family** would tell **Akira and Yui** about the Japanese culture. **Akira and Yui** would become amazed as to what they've been told about the culture that they were apart of, however, only learned very little from their parents. Two children would also meet new friends while in **Osaka** which made them question if they should go back to America as they were having a good time in Japan, however, they would be leaving their former lives behind. So, **Akira and Yui** went to **their Grandmother, Haruka,** for advice on what they should do. **Haruka's** response was that of "following what your heart wants you to do" and so they did. The two children ultimately decided that they should stay in Japan as they wanted to learn more about their culture as well as experience what it's like living in Japan. **Akira and Yui** would tell their parents that they wanted to stay in Japan and would respect that decision by agreeing to that sentiment. With that, **Akira** would spend the next years of his life in Japan to get his education done, learn more about his culture, etc.*

***Akira's life** would mostly be the same until one occurrence changed his life forever which ultimately gave him the idea to become a professional wrestler and would take place just four years later.*

***Akira**, now 16 years old and a sophomore in high school, would be approached by one of his friends, **Shinji**, who would ask him if he'd like to go to a wrestling show with him and a few others, who enjoyed pro wrestling as a whole which **Akira** didn't know what to think of the invitation at first, however, he would agree to the invitation. The show would be held at the **Tokyo Dome** and the promotion holding the event would be known as **PUMA Pro Wrestling**, which was a very popular wrestling promotion in Japan and almost everyone in Japan knew about this promotion. **Akira** would show up to the **Tokyo Dome** along with his friends and would be given a ticket by **Shinji**, in order for him to get into the event. **Akira** in his mind thought as to why this event was so hyped up that a lot of people decided to show up to it and was the event even going to be good? **Akira** didn't know what to expect so he decided to give the event a chance to see if the hype around the event that **PUMA Pro Wrestling** was hosting was worth it. The **PUMA Pro Wrestling** event had a stacked card of 6 matches each being greater than last. Matches such as **YUKIMURA vs Shinjiro Watanabe, Junpei Kasumi vs Takanori Ishi, etc.** However, none where as amazing as the main event, where **Yuki Hayashida** would face off against his rival, **Shinnosuke Sanada(c)** for the **PWGP World Championship** title. **Akira** would be fascinated with the event as a whole with there not being a single match he disliked. The might of the night for him would **Yuki Vs Shinnosuke** as he felt like the two had a lot of chemistry with one another and really inspired him with their sportsmanship which got **Akira** thinking that pro wrestling could be his true passion as **Akira** had no direction of where his future was headed. Sure, he succeeded in all his class and his teachers really liked him, however, he felt like there was no future ahead for him, like he had no true passion until now. After the event, **Akira** would mistakenly run into the winner of the main event and new **PWGP World Champion, Yuki Hayashida.** **Akira** would greet **Mr. Hayashida** with great respect even getting to shake his hand and would apologize for bumping into **Mr. Hayashida** which he wouldn't mind. **Mr. Hayashida** would ask **Akira** if he liked the event tonight in which **Akira** would say that he loved it and **Hayashida's** match was his favorite. **Mr. Hayashida** would smile as he loves to make people happy when he performs in the ring and hearing **Akira's** kind words raised his spirits. **Akira** without any hesitation would ask **Yuki** if he could train him in the future after he was finished with high school which **Yuki** would accept, however, **Yuki** would need **Akira's** name to write on a piece of paper as he would give him the paper along with a location for them to meet at in the future on said paper. **Akira** **and** **Yuki** would then say their goodbyes to each other and would walk from one another, this is one event in **Akira's** **life** caused him to study up on pro wrestling while he was in school. **Akira** would constantly gain new information from via from others and internet searching whether it'd be about moves performed in the circuit, styles, events, etc., his knowledge of pro wrestling would get better by the minute.*

*On his 18th birthday, **Akira** would train to become a professional wrestler. **He** and **Yuki** would meet up once again in a gym that **Yuki** owned known as the **Hayashida Wrestling Gym**, where **Yuki** would train **Akira** to become a shoot-style pro wrestler. **Akira's** training would spawn at a total of four years until 2003, where **Yuki** would get him booked in a match in **PUMA Pro Wrestling.***

***Akira's life** in **Osaka, Japan** as well his run in **PUMA** would go on for five years until leaving **Japan** as well as **PUMA** on **July 6th, 2008**, where'd go back to **America** to pursue other wrestling promotions that interested him.*

## ▪ ***Professional wrestling career***

### ***▫ Professional wrestling training (1999-2003)***

***Akira*** *would begin his training at the age of 18 in **1999** under the tutelage of **Yuki Hayashida** at the **Hayashida Wrestling Gym. Hayashida** would ultimately train him to become a shoot-style pro wrestler as well as a striker. During this time, **Akira** would be at a university trying to get his degree. After the day was over, **Akira** would train for six hours a day and seven days a week with some days off here and there. His training would last up to four years, however, meanwhile, he'd signed a contract to **PUMA** in **2002** with **Hayashida** being his manager and ultimately retired as pro wrestler as a result of becoming **Akira's** manager. **Akira** wouldn't debut until **2003** when he was ready to go into action.*

### ***▫ PUMA Pro Wrestling (2003-2008)***

***Akira*** *would sign a five year contract with **PUMA Pro Wrestling** on **March 3rd, 2002** under the name of **AKIRA**(his first name in all caps) with **Yuki Hayashida** being his manager and would debut at a **PUMA Pro** event titled, **"The Next Generation"** on **January 15th, 2003.** **Akira** would be taking on a second year **Puma Pro** wrestler, **Aruto Shiroyama**, who was the younger brother of **Shinnosuke Shiroyama** and would win his debut match against **Aruto**. Afterward, **Akira** would then show an impressive winning streak in **Puma Pro** during his first year having a record of 38-0 before losing to **Takumi Miyano** on **February 21st, 2003**. Soon after that, **PUMA Pro Wrestling** president and founder, **Hiroyuki Takemura** would announce the fifth annual  **The King Of Japan** tournament on **March 5th, 2003**, where it would be a single elimination tournament of 20 wrestlers divided into the A and B block respectively. The final two wrestlers from their respective blocks would then face off against each other to determine the winner of **The King Of Japan** tournament as well as who would go on to face the **PWGP World Champion**, **Jin Takahama** at **Wrestle Empire** taking place at the **Tokyo Dome** on **January's 7th-8th, 2004.** **Akira** would participate the said tournament and win it thus granting his title shot against **Jin**. At **Wrestle Empire**, **AKIRA** would take on **Jin Takahama** for the **PWGP World Championship, Jin** would retain his title at said event via pinfall. After the match, **Jin** would help **Akira** up after the match and attempt to shake **Akira's** hand which **Akira** would respond respectfully by taking out his hand to complete the handshake. **Jin** would raise **Akira's** hand into the sky and would point at him to symbolize that he would be the future champion that this company needed. **Akira** after his **Wrestle Empire** match would take a hiatus as to think on what he should do next before returning to in-ring competition on **April 9th, 2004.***

***Akira's*** *second year in **PUMA** would be quite different than his first. Instead of trying to go for the **PWGP World Championship**, he would try to claim his hands on the **PWGP Intercontinental Championship** instead. He figured that he wasn't quite ready to have the **PWGP World Championship** in his grasp and wanted to go a different route than previously. He would go to win the majority of his matches with only some of them being losses. **Akira** would then challenge the **PWGP Intercontinental Champion, Inosuke Sakuragi** to a match for the **PWGP Intercontinental Championship** At **Wrestle Empire II** in which **Inosuke** would accept said challenge. At **Wrestle Empire II**, **AKIRA** would challenge **Inosuke Sakuragi** for the **PWGP Intercontinental Championship, Inosuke** would retain his title at the said event via submission. After the match, **Akira** would become furious that he lost as he was so close to winning his first title like his first year in **Puma Pro. Akira** would take out his anger on **Inosuke**, assaulting him until he was put on a stretcher thus turning **Akira** heel. It would later be announced that **Inosuke** would have to relinquish his title due to a leg injury from the assault he suffered at **Wrestle Empire II. Akira** would go on with his third year in **PUMA Pro Wrestling**, setting his sights back on the **PWGP World Championship**, this time he wouldn't become second best.*

***2005,** would be one of **Akira's** greatest years in **PUMA Pro Wrestling** as he would be a dominant figure in the promotion taking out every that stood in his path. **Akira** would show no sense of mercy with opponents, putting the full extent of four year training to the test, only losing seven matches with the rest being wins. Very soon after, **PUMA Pro Wrestling** president and founder, **Hiroyuki Takemura** would announce that he would be stepping down as president and that **Fumiya Yamamoto** would be taking over. **Hiroyuki** would also announce the seventh annual **The King Of Japan** tournament on **March 3rd, 2005,** with the same criteria as the previous two tournaments. **Akira** hadn't participated in the **2004** tournament mainly due to his sights being put on **PWGP Intercontinental Championship** at the time, however, **Akira** would be focused on the future instead of the past as he would participate in the tournament and like the fifth annual tournament, **Akira** would manage to win and would call out **Jin Takahama**, who was still the **PWGP World Champion** as no one truly could stand up to him until now. **Jin** would answer said call and this would lead to a fight between him and **Akira** in which officials would break it up entirely. After the tournament, **Jin** and **Akira** would both go under rigorous training methods to prepare for their upcoming match at **Wrestle Empire III.** The two would also constantly shit talk to each other during their individual training. All of the shit talk and training would come at a stopping point once **Wrestle Empire III** went live on **January 7, 2006.** At **Wrestle Empire III**, **AKIRA** would challenge **Jin Takahama** for the **PWGP World Championship** in the main event of the second night. Many thought that the championship match between the two would end in a repeat of their first encounter at **Wrestle Empire I**, however, that wouldn't be the case as **AKIRA** would win the match via pinfall and would become the new **PWGP World Champion** thus silencing the doubters. This match between **AKIRA** and **Jin** would be considered an instant classic and easily one of the best matches in **PUMA Pro Wrestling** as it would still be brought up today. After the match, **Akira** would try to help **Jin** up and would try to shake his hand, a parallel to their first encounter when **Jin** helped **Akira** help up and show a sign of respect for him by shaking his hand. Like **Akira** at the first **Wrestle Empire** event, **Jin** would accept the handshake, this would be the sign that **Akira** still had some respect left for **Jin** even if it was very little than it was before. **Jin** would take a hiatus from **PUMA** after his match at **Wrestle Empire III** as to decide if he should continue to be a part of **PUMA Pro** itself in which **Jin** wouldn't resign with the company and would leave on **February 25th, 2006.** This wouldn't be the last time that he and Akira would step into the square circle together, however. **Akira's** last three years in **PUMA** would mainly consist of him being a dominant **PWGP World Champion**, stopping everyone who dared cross his path. He would eventually lose the **PWGP World Championship** to **Aruto Sanada** at **Wrestle Empire V** on **January 7th, 2008**. He would announce that he would be departing from **PUMA Pro** just a month after following his championship loss. His final match in **PUMA Pro Wrestling** would be against **Hiro Kobayashi** at **Hibiki Genesis** on the month of **June 19th, 2008**, winning the said match before finally leaving the company on **July 1st, 2008**. The reason for his departure is that he didn't want to stay at the same promotion forever and wanted to face his dream opponents that were not in the company itself. **Akira** would also leave Japan that very same year with his wife, Hitomi as well as his children.*

### ***▫ Independent circuit (2009-current)***

***Akira*** *would appear at various ring promotions under his new ring name, **AJ**. He would mainly be featured in promotions such as **Infinium Pro Wrestling, Odyssey Pro Wrestling, and Requiem Pro Wrestling****.** **Akira** would go to these promotions mainly to face his dream match opponents and would take some gold in that process. **Infinium** **Pro Wrestling** would be **Akira's** first stop where he would challenge many of his dream opponents.*

***Akira*** *would debut for **Infinium**, located in Seattle, Washington, on **January 5th, 2009** and would face off against one of dream opponents, **Hyun Jung-Won** at a certain **Infinium Pro** event titled, **"Enter The Nexus"**. This event would be where **Hyun Jung-Won** would be facing a mystery opponent would be making their debut that night in which **A.J.** would be that mystery opponent. **A.J**. would win that said match in question and would show **Hyun Jung-Won** a sign of respect by helping **Jung-Won** up and giving him a handshake. This wouldn't be the last time these would meet, however, that's a story for another time. After that bout, **A.J.** would face his dream opponents of the likes of **Ty Smith**, the brother of **Daniel Lionheart**, **Kenshiro Fumihiko**, **James Carterson**, and **Devon King**. **A.J.** would show up in **Infinium** for 3 years before leaving on **January 4th, 2012.***

***Akira*** *would debut in **Odyssey Pro Wrestling**, located in **London, England,** on **February 1st, 2012**, shortly after his departure from **Infinium,** his opponent would be a popular U.K wrestler under the name of **Thomas Everson**. Their match would be at a **Odyssey Pro Wrestling** event titled, **"Ready For War"**, which **Thomas** has issued a challenge against **Akira** beforehand as he was shown **Akira's** previous work in **PUMA Pro** and was amazed at his wrestling ability and wanted to work with him in which **Akira** would accept his offer. **Akira** would win that match, though he would show **Everson** some respect after the match. This would not be the last time that they would meet as the two would eventually become friends after talking about fascination in wrestling as well as sharing some common interests. The match between **Akira** and **Thomas** would be considered an absolute hit from many fans and journalists, it would be considered one of **Akira's** best matches along with his **Wrestle Empire III** Championship Match, this would also go the same for **Thomas** as well. After that said bout, Akira would be the dominant force in **Odyssey,** winning most of his matches and losing a few. He would later challenge for the **Odyssey Grand Championship**, which was held by **KAI**, a Chinese professional wrestler and would win said championship and hold it for two years until finally dropping it on **December 21st, 2014,** against **Timothy Jameson**. **Akira** would depart from **Odyssey** on **January 6th, 2015.***

*Akira's final stop would be at **Requiem Pro Wrestling**, located in **Miami, FL,** where he would debut against **Simon Wolfman**, on **March 9th, 2015.** Their match would be at **Requiem's** second event titled, "**Daybreak Has Passed, Welcome New Intelligence"**, where there would be a tournament to crown the first **Requirem World Champion**, which **Akira** happened to be one of the participants in said tournament. **Akira** would end up winning the said match and would go on to win the tournament altogether. His run as **Requiem World Champion** is similar to his **PWGP World Championship** run, ultimately being a dominant force to be reckoned with. **Akira** would hold the title for three years until dropping it to **Jin Takahama**, as the two would meet once again at a **Requiem Pro Wrestling** event titled, "**War Of Champions"** on **January 4th, 2018.** **Akira** would wrestle for **Requiem** until April 9th, 2018, which he would leave the promotion. **Akira** after **2018**, would wrestle 12 matches in total. There are two reasons for this, one of these reasons being that rumors came about him and three other well known wrestlers trying to start up a wrestling promotion which was deemed **Project Astral** by **Akira** himself, which the rumor would be true. The other reason as to why he wrestled very few matches is due to his father, **Daisuke,** dying in a shootout in Fukuoka, Japan and was greatly mourning the loss of his father.*

## ▪ ***Other contributions to wrestling***

### ***▫ OMEGA Dojo (2014-2019)***

*On **January 1st, 2014**, **Akira** would open up his own wrestling gym that would be called the **OMEGA Dojo**. The purpose of said dojo was to train the future generation of wrestlers, who were wanting to claim their legacy in the professional wrestling business. The **Dojo** would open 7 seven days a week and would close at 1 A.M. The **OMEGA Dojo** would have scouts from many various wrestling promotions including the likes of **Puma Pro Wrestling** in which some would get a contract from said promotions with others being left out of a contract. The **OMEGA Dojo** would also see the likes of future talent of Stargazer like **Daniel**, **Haruto Hayashida**, and even **Akira's** own sister, **Yui** **Jōdai.** The wrestling gym would be in business for 5 years until **July, 6th, 2019**, where the gym would be closed down due to **Akira** preparing to announce his own wrestling promotion.*

### ***▫ Akira's own wrestling events (2017-2018)***

*In **2017,** **Akira** felt he should gather up a group of people to produce a wrestling event. He wanted to give the wrestling audience a show that could never forget as well as showcase some new blood in the pro wrestling circuit. So on **June 3rd, 2017,** **Akira** would announce that he'd be making an event titled, **Escape From Japan** that would be taking place in the **Tokyo Dome** with **PUMA Pro** being the sponsor. The event itself would be two nights and each night would have a total of seven matches in total. **Escape From Japan** would be broadcasted live everywhere on **June 22nd, 2017** to critical success, spanning a total 9.8 million viewers for each night and most of the card being favored by journalists and critics alike. This wouldn't be the last time that Akira would host such a stacked event.*

*On **November 19th, 2017,** it would be announced that **Akira's** father, **Daisuke** would be diagnosed with cancer. **Akira** wanted to try as best as he could try to donate to find a cure for his father as well as many others and had an idea as to how he could do it. **Akira** had planned out a wrestling event and it would be donating most of the money made to finding a cure for cancer. This event would be called, **Fight To Survive** and it would have a total nine matches on the card. The event premiered on **January 1st, 2018** to critical success as well, spanning a total of 11 million viewers. The amount of money made at the event would be a total of 2 billion dollars in which most would be donated to finding a cure to cancer and the rest of the money would be put into staff and wrestlers pockets. **Akira's** father would beat cancer eventually, making Akira happy that his father as well as possibly many other people can continue to live their life.*

***Akira*** *was originally going to do more wrestling events, however, they would be scrapped. **Akira's** reasoning for this was unknown at the time of **2018.** However, on **January 3rd, 2019,** he would give a proper answer for scrapping said events. In an interview with **Wrestlepower**, he stated that he was working on a secret project, known as **Project Astral** at the time, with few others contributing to it. **Project Astral** would later turn into what would be known as **Stargazer Pro Wrestling,** two months later as **Akira** would announce **Stargazer's** existence on **March 3rd, 2019** and would mention that a press conference would come in the near future.*

## *▪ **Personal life***

***Akira*** *currently resides in **Orlando, FL,** his original hometown, where he lives in a two-story luxury home with his wife, **Hitomi** and his three kids, **Akira Jr., Daigo,** and **Yumi.** He is currently planning out the first quarter of **Stargazer Pro** as of this current moment. **Stargazer** is a professional wrestling promotion used to showcase new talent in the wrestling industry as feature veterans from various other wrestling companies.*

*As for **Akira** and **Hitomi**, **Akira** would meet **Hitomi Katsumata** in **2004.** The two would share very common love in wrestling as well as other things. They would fall in love and would be in a relationship until **2006,** when they got married. They wouldn't have children until late **2006** and early **2007,** when **Daigo** and **Akira Jr.** were born. They would later have **Yumi** in late **2007.** The couple has been keeping a stable relationship since then.*

*As for children, **Akira** and **Hitomi** put their children to the highest regard. These two would try their near hardest to give three, a good education. They would also try to introduce them to stuff like video games, sports, and wrestling too. The three children of **Akira** and **Hitomi** are considering becoming pro wrestlers at some point in time but not right now.*
