Biography: Kotaro Ota debuted at the age of 19 on FURY's first show of 2005. He comes from a strong background in Baseball from his high school days. Just little under five months into his career, Ota was recruited to join CHAOTICS, and is currently adjusting to the neutral leanings of the unit. In 2007, Ota began campaigning for a KFD Jr. Heavyweight title match against his own CHAOTICS stablemate, ATSUKA. Ota was continually turned down, but was eventually given a GSW independent tag team title match against ATSUKA and YAKUTA. Ota brought Fumihiko Shirai back to FURY, with the two forming the "OKINAWA SPEED STARS." The new team elevated both Ota and Shirai, with the two capturing Superstar Pro-Wrestling's Iron Crown tag titles. But after losing the titles in February of 2008, Ota fell into a slump of losses, which has caused him to suffer the constant wrath of ATSUKA, who mocks him for falling behind Shirai. Ota's humiliation continued in May of 2008, as he lost his hair in a 6WAY Escape cage match, causing Ota to plummit further into depression, prompting him to run away to Mexico for most of June. Ota returned in time for July's J1-MAX League tournament with new confidence. Despite a rocky start, Ota would make a remarkable comeback to eventually capture the tournament crown on 7/25/08 with a thrilling victory over Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Millennium S.K! Ota's journey culminated on 8/11/08 by achieving his career goal of becoming the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion by defeating Kyoto Okazaki at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
