Biography: Ito's personality comes from his background in boxing. Ito grew up reading the "Hajime no Ippo" manga series, sparking a passion for boxing. Ito began training in the sport at age 16, competing in amateur matches up until his 18th birthday. When he reached the age, Ito took the pro test to earn his professional boxing license, but ended up failing... That night, Ito attended a Pro-Wrestling FURY event that night at Korakuen Hall that reignited the love of pro-wrestling he felt as a child. Ito traveled to Osaka to train with Kazuma Fujita, before eventually leaving Fujita to finish his training as part of FURY's Millennium Artists Xtreme project. Despite being a wrestler, Ito continues to proudly show his love of boxing, patterning his style after the sport.
