Biography: Hiroaki Nakata is one of the most technically sound fighters in FURY, blending slick mat work with fierce strikes and submissions. Nakata crafted his skills in his youth, competing in amaresu events up until his High School Senior year. Nakata began training under Kazuma Fujita at the age of 19. Nakata attended College during this time, but chose not to apply for the National Amaresu team, but to instead chase his dream of being a pro-wrestler. Nakata debuted with the first term class of the FURY Dojo, along with Tetsuhisa Nakagawa and Yoshinari Kubota. Nakata immediately emerged as the strongest of the class when he won the 2002 Revival Series tournament, capturing the revived UJPW Heavyweight title. Nakata formed HDU (Home Defense Unit) in mid 2003 as FURY's unofficial home army. Nakata became the first KFD Heavyweight Champion in early 2004, winning a one-night tournament for the title. His reign would be short, after dropping the title to Ryo Kitase in June of that year. In 2005, Nakata formed an incredible openweight tag team with Yoshihiro Shimoda, as the two quickly won the KFD Tag Team titles from Masafuji Yoshida and Chikao Kessin. In 2007, Nakata shocked FURY by betraying HDU to form the new UPRISER'Z unit. However, mere months later, Nakata was banished from the unit he helped create after being betrayed by Yuji Yamakawa. After being refused admission back into HDU, Nakata took time off to form a new gameplan. He returned, bringing back generation rivals Tetsuhisa NAKAI and ZERO Kubota to form "ORIGIN." The group is built upon the initial genesis of FURY.
