Death Battle Info[]
History[]
Naoto Date was a feared heel wrestler in America who was extremely vicious in the ring. However, he became a face after returning to Japan when a young boy said that he wanted to be a villain like Tiger Mask when he grew up. The boy resided in an orphanage, the same one that Tiger Mask grew up in during his childhood. Feeling that he did not want the boy to idolize a villain, Tiger was inspired to be a heroic wrestler.
The Tiger's Den was a mysterious organization that trained young people to be villainous wrestlers on the condition that they gave half of their earnings to the organization. Tiger Mask was once a member of the Tiger's Den under the name "Yellow Devil", but no longer wanted anything to do with them, instead donating his money to the orphanage. This infuriated the leader of the organization and he sent numerous assassins, including other professional wrestlers, to punish him.
Though victorious, Naoto eventually died while saving a child. He pushed him out of the way of a speeding car, only to be hit by the car himself. Dying, he pulled his tiger mask from his pocket and threw it into a nearby river, preserving the secret of his identity.
Special Moves[]
- Back Drop
- A back body drop or backdrop (also sometimes called a shoulder back toss), is a move in which a wrestler bends forward or crouches in front of their opponent, grabs hold of the opponent, and stands up, lifting the opponent up and over and dropping them behind the back. It is applied frequently against a charging opponent. In Japan, a backdrop is the term for what is called a belly-to-back suplex in America, so in Japan, it is called shoulder throw.
- Headbutt
- A forceful thrust of the top of the head into the face or body of an opponent.
- Tiger Super Finish
- Tiger Mask jumps from rope to rope, stopping to strike his opponent.
