Profile: Kuriyama aspired to be a professional wrestler since his youth. During high school, he failed to make the wrestling team, and instead focused on weight lifting and rugby. After school, Kuriyama traveled half way across Japan to enter Kazuma Fujita's dojo, where he trained deligently for well over a year. With Fujita's blessing, Kuriyama returned home to Iwate, where he joined up with Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, becoming a true born for the company. After a short time with the promotion, Rui Kuriyama suddenly had a change in personality. He began to show up late for shows, and looked unmotivated in the ring. Finally, in December, this culminated with Kuriyama vanishing from Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON shows... Kuriyama's intentions were revealed on 1/15/08 as Kuriyama returned to Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON with the BLACKHEARTS. Kuriyama and Jake Bishop would capture the C-1 Tag Team Championships for two months in 2008. In 2009, Kuriyama went on yet another expedition this time to the United States with friend Jake Bishop. Kuriyama returned on 12/24/09 and insisted on being mentored by Akuma Toyota to "level further". Since then, Kuriyama has followed Toyota in forming HEAVY WAR as a loyal soldier.
