Profile:
Hiroyuki Takano is a star athlete in his high school days, who actively engaged in multiple sports, however, it was during his high school days that Takano met Jason Ramsey and Torayashi Ryoku, who guided the man into Professional Wrestling. After two years training, some independent work and an excursion, Hiroyuki Takano ended up in FREEDOM where he became one of the top wrestlers in the promotion quickly. Takano's short career culminated when he shocked everyone and upset Katsumi Gakusha for the IFS Openweight Championship. His reign would be a month long, however, as he dropped the championship to Yoshiaki Matsuda. Not too long after that, FREEDOM would morph into DYNAMITE, and Takano found himself leaving the promotion in order to gain more experience in the wrestling world. Takano ended up in Superstar PRO for a short period of time, but when rumors circulated that the promotion would cease activity, Takano received calls from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON president Kazushi Mimura who offered the young wrestler a contract. Hiroyuki Takano signed the deal, and became the newest wrestler in CRIMSON, and was immediately recruited by Nobuyori Shimizu to become the fourth member of N.G.I. Hiroyuki Takano struck up a deep friendship with Takayuki Ariwa which led to Takano following Ariwa when he defected to MOUJA. MOUJA would turn into Yankizoku with Takano still by Ariwa's side as he ascended to leadership. Takano and Ariwa won the FUSION League in January 2009 and at the same time captured the C-1 Tag Team Championships. Ariwa & Takano would go on to have a lengthy title reign before losing the championships nine months later. Yankizoku would soon implode allowing Hiroyuki Takano to assume control, in the wreckage forming KYOURUI 6. Takano has repatterned himself as "Black Brilliance" and seems poised to make a full run at the top as leader of KYOURUI 6.
