Biography

Hayato Saito, better known by his fearsome ring name Hayato Oni, is a striking and submission specialist who combines brutal, hard-hitting offense with the precise discipline of a martial artist. Born in Osaka, Japan, Hayato was introduced to the world of combat sports at a young age. His father was a respected karate master, while his mother was a practitioner of judo, making martial arts a cornerstone of his upbringing. This blend of styles became Hayato's foundation and would later form the basis of his intense, unforgiving wrestling style.

Growing up in the bustling streets of Osaka, Hayato was surrounded by a culture that valued strength and honor, but his calm, quiet nature often masked the fire burning inside him. His passion for combat eventually led him to the world of professional wrestling, where he sought to combine the technique and respect of martial arts with the raw, unrelenting force of strong style wrestling. However, tragedy struck when Hayato was only 18, as he lost both of his parents in a car accident. In their honor, he vowed to channel his grief and rage into becoming not only a great wrestler but a living embodiment of the Oni, the mythical demon of Japanese folklore.

Once the bell rings, Hayato’s movements are a mix of precise strikes and raw, calculated brutality. His stiff kicks and lightning-fast elbows are delivered with pinpoint accuracy, while his submission holds can cripple opponents in seconds. Every move is executed with a sense of cold determination, making him a wrestler feared by both peers and fans. He doesn’t just aim to win—he aims to break his opponent’s spirit, just as the Oni of legend would torment their enemies.

Outside the ring, Hayato is much more reserved than his demonic persona would suggest. He’s known to be a thoughtful, introspective individual who dedicates much of his free time to continuing his martial arts training. Hayato follows a strict regimen of meditation, focusing on maintaining control over the "Oni" within him. Though his in-ring persona is fearsome, those who know him outside the ring describe him as calm, respectful, and deeply connected to his heritage.
