## History

Big Mama, like her other sisters, had moved out from Headmother's island mansion when she was at her teens. She head to New York where she could start creating her own empire. Coming from a family of criminals, Big Mama wants to become the most powerful criminal boss in the Hidden World. Thus starting her businesses which still operates in present day. She first created the Grand Nexus Hotel and added the Battle Nexus a little after the hotel had opened to the public. She created various rooms and areas where it caters for both the Humans that stay in her hotel and for Yokai who wants to walk about undisguised.

After the Battle Nexus had opened, it quickly became a huge success. The New York Yokai Community really loved seeing the fighters duke it out. Seeing how much of a success her Nexus truly did, she created other businesses like the Doom Dome for demolition derby, the Auction House which is above the Hidden City in New York, the Mystic Train Station as part of a deal with the Councillors in order for Yokai to travel from one region to another, and an amusement park for Yokai to have fun in. This is the start of her becoming the most powerful mob boss in the New York Hidden City.

As the years went by, the Battle Nexus has thousands of fighters willing to fight in the arena. They have their own reasons and they're willing to do anything in order to become the Battle Nexus Champion. Though it's mostly for Yokai, there was one Human who had participated in the Battle Nexus. His name was Lou Jitsu. After being forced to fight in the Battle Nexus by Big Mama, he became the Battle Nexus Champion. Well that is until there was one incident that leads to the martial arts actor to never harm another creature. So he stayed up in the holding cell until Huginn and Munnin was able to get him out of the Battle Nexus.

Still, the Battle Nexus is still successful to this day. There's even a sporting lounge at the Grand Nexus Hotel where Yokai can watch the matches via the observation orbs.
