Biography: Came from a strong background in Amaresu competition. He won two national championships at the High-school level. After graduating college, he was recruited by Kazuma Fujita to join the FURY dojo. Otsuo found out that he had great striking strength, and utilized the Uraken Backfist as his primary weapon. He debuted against his future STRONG RIDERS. tag team partner Kyoshima Yosuken on Kazuma Fujita's FURY Exhibition show, but fell to his friend in short time. He would work hard to improve his skills still today. Following FURY's "Revival Series" tour, he formed a team with his best friend Kyoshima Yosuken under the name of STRONG RIDERS. Kayusa has shown much skill since the inception of FURY, and definately has room to improve on his skills... After many troubling months, Otsuo Kayusa dissolved STRONG RIDERS, ending FURY's longest lasting unit. After many months of teasing a reunion, Kayusa sealed STRONG RIDERS forever, after turning on long-time friend Kyoshima Yosuken and disciple Kenichiro Hujikawa to join NuWAVE. After a violent feud with Hujikawa, the two reconciled, causing Kayusa to be kicked out of NuWAVE. After months of teasing, Hujikawa and Kayusa reformed STRONG RIDERS, with Kyoshima Yosuken returning in October of 2007.
