Profile:
Kenjiro Amagawa was a standout amateur wrestler during high school and college, and in a perfect world would have been a highly touted prospect, but due to the collapse of Pro-Wrestling universally over Japan, Amagawa was forced to compete on smaller scale shows. Amagawa finally got his big break when he was brought into the PROMO * JAPAN promotion, where he was touted as a "Super Rookie" due to his lack of experience, and his glut of natural wrestling abilities. Amagawa carried over to the Pro-Wrestling ZION transfer, and began to work Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON shows on the side. ZION closed it's doors in April 2007, and Amagawa immediately signed with Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON. Amagawa has had some success in CRIMSON, but when Mikio Tsuruya joined CRIMSON later in the year, the two reformed their "Backdrop Brothers" team in CRIMSON. The two have had some success, including a C-1 Tag Championship challenge, but they have yet to really establish themselves due to their relative inexperience. After months of relatively poor performances, Kenjiro Amagawa has pulled himself off the ground, and has seemingly rededicated himself to becoming a top star...Amagawa adopted the Figure-Four Leglock as a tribute to his mentor in ZION, Jason Ramsey. After instigating a "Weight Loss Challenge" to help Mikio Tsuruya with his weight, Tsuruya viciously turned on his best friend Amagawa, breaking up one of the most beloved teams in CRIMSON. Amagawa immediately turned to Yuki Nomura and begged Nomura to help him improve his career. Nomura accepted, and formed AVENIR around the two of them. AVENIR's forming has proven to be the catalyst of Amagawa's evolution. Amagawa formed the popular "TakaGawa" team with Shinsuke Takahashi and the two claimed the C-1 Tag Team Championships in the later half of 2009. TakaGawa were dethroned in June 2010 by the KYOURUI 6 team of Mikio Tsuruya and Akahito Yamada.

Kenjiro Amagawa and the other original three members of AVENIR graduated from the group in July 2010. Amagawa has joined up with the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY to continue his career's momentium.
