Profile:
Takayuki Ariwa, like most of the Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON roster was a graduate of the Ryo Suzuki Dojo, who also happens to have amateur wrestling experience from high school. Instead of following a scholarship, Ariwa dropped out of school and entered the Suzuki Dojo. Ironically, Ariwa completes the "trio" of Amateur stars in CRIMSON as he was a rival of both Kenjiro Amagawa and Mikio Tsuruya in their high school days. Ariwa debuted for Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON in 2005.. Ariwa is one of the strongest and thickest wrestlers in CRIMSON, and has often shown off incredible feats of power. In 2007, after the injury to Nobuyori Shimizu, Takayuki Ariwa was granted entry into the Neo Generation Idealists (or N.G.I. for short) to gain polish. Since then he has improved dramatically by debuting new moves, making the semi finals of Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE's "FREEDOM ROAD" tournament, making the semi finals of the 2008 Power Source tournament, and even pinning Seiji Ebisawa. Ariwa has become friends with Hiroyuki Takano with the two forming a team often which fans have dubbed the "A+T Club". Ariwa betrayed his mentors Nobuyori Shimizu and Toshiro Noguchi aligning himself with the militant MOUJA faction who have embraced his violent style. MOUJA morphed into Yankizoku, and after the banishment of Seiji Ebisawa, Takayuki Ariwa became the leader of Yankizoku and won the 2009 FUSION League with Hiroyuki Takano and the C-1 Tag Team Championships. When Yankizoku disbanded, Ariwa found himself turned on by his former allies. In his moment of weakness, Nobuyori Shimizu recruited his former student. Now Ariwa is a loyal ally of the STRONGEST CRIMSON ARMY and looks poised to enter a new chapter of his career.
