Okumura is no stranger to championship gold, hard-hitting battles, and high-stakes competition. As one-half of the MLW World Tag Team Champions alongside Satoshi Kojima in CozyMAX, the Japanese veteran has cemented himself as one of the most respected warriors in the sport.

For over 30 years, Okumura has competed at the highest level, fighting in CMLL, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and All Japan Pro Wrestling. A master of lucharesu, Okumura seamlessly blends lucha libre’s explosive movement with Japanese strong style’s crushing strikes, making him one of the most dangerous and unpredictable competitors in the sport.

The path to glory won’t be easy. 40 wrestlers. One winner. The most daunting match of Okumura’s career awaits him in Los Angeles. But with decades of experience and a warrior’s spirit, could Okumura shock the world and stand tall as the last man in the RIOT?
