Strategy: Masuyo is an agressive fighter who aims to be the first to strike when the match is underway. She keeps the pressure on her opponent by throwing everything she has with zero leniency. She harasses them with quick strikes, getting in their face and never surrendering an inch, before tying them tight submission holds to either force a knockout or a tap. She either fights with all of her spirit, or none of it at all. This doesn't mean that she's without caution and is far from a careless competitor. Her relentless offense is a way to constantly gauge her opponent, looking for openings and watching for counters. She likes to rely upon her own strength whenever she can if she is to improve herself, but isn't afraid to get hot and bloody with an equal either.

Preferred Matches:  Standard l Hardcore l Iron Woman l Cage/Octagon Match

Favorite Moves:
- Rear Naked Choke

Finishing moves:
Demonic Pull: Starts out as a simple Bow and Arrow. Masuyo then extends her legs and moves her grips onto the opponents shin and forearm. This extends the bow and whilst she manages to keep her foe balanced on their side, allowing gravity to assist in the punishment as she bears down on them. Given her superior strength, this move has the potential to tear a limb from its socket if done harshly enough.

Personality: Masuyo is your typical hot-blooded, youthful springtime fighter with nothing to lose and everything to gain. Courageous, determined, although too tenacious for her own good at times. Masuyo is largely motivated by her love of the fight and a desire to rise above one challenge after another. Though she's largely foregone the peaceful lessons from her upbringing, she still acts with a degree of restraint, keeping mindful of what others can handle.

Masuyo is only as strong as the community around her, and she loves her hometown more than anything. She accepts and gives help wherever it may be found or needed within the federation. If it means protecting those weak or disadvantaged, Masuyo will throw herself into the line of fire without a second thought. She faces her opponents with respect, but isn't above talking down to a presumably lesser foe, more out of genuine fun than any sort of arrogance.

Despite her local reputation, she maintains a social life similar to anyone else's, mixing fun and professionalism freely. She's incredibly confident and optimistic, to the point she's developed a rather cocky side to her that only blows up in her face about half of the time. Her simple and light-hearted demeanor keeps a smile on her face regardless of the situation. She moves forward day after day with a burning passion deep in her heart, improving slowly through whatever experience life thrusts upon her.

Appearance: Commonly wears a sports bra and shorts, unless the match demands otherwise. Keeps Gin's scarf with her for good luck. Only wears it to the ring with her secondary attire.

Noodle Shop Portrait:

Masuyo Ai grew up in a fairly atypical household for a future fighter. Living in the attic of her family's ramen shop, there was scarce a reason to learn any form of combat in the family trade. Martial arts had long been a tradition within the Ai bloodline, tracing back generations, done today more out of respect than resourcefulness. Aikido, however, was a recent addition to the household. This split was bred from her grandfather's dissolution with violence after months of killing his fellow countrymen in the Boshin War. He took up the way of the harmonious spirit, determined to foster a lineage of peace as recompense for his actions. When Masuyo came of age, it was only natural that she was put through the motions, just as her mother before her. Having adopted and fully mastered the art surprisingly quickly, her parents were convinced that tradition ran deep in her veins and she would grow up to become a superb noodle chef.

Sometime after her 16th birthday, a young man burst through the front of their store. A known cretin within the area, he began flinging a knife around, making demands for their profits from today. Her training would prove...somewhat useful in subduing the thief. However, the basic "Do No Harm" philosophy of Aikido left her with little options when the blade was turned to the throats of her older parents. Masuyo could only surrender. He was free to take their money and leave. One look at her vulnerable state, however, and the boy couldn't help but get his licks in. A senseless beating ensued, one that left the Ai's restaurant in tatters and the floors stained with their daughter's blood. Long after the thug had left, Masuyo would continue reassuring her parents of her well-being. Internally, however, she was shattered. This ordeal could be marked as her first, most crushing defeat. She resolved to become strong enough to protect her loved ones and the city she was raised in. Abandoning the peaceful ways of the Ai tradition, Masuyo set out to become a warrior.  

At a local sparring gym, she met a prize fighter known only as "Gin", whom agreed to mentor her after days of hounding. The silver-haired, scruffy man was once a recognized champion within Tokyo, but had long since gone into an alcoholic-induced retirement. Nevertheless, he had an eye for talent, and Masuyo proved a worthy pupil indeed.

The following months she spent with Gin within the Shibuya ward, training and adopting a number of skills from the gruff prize fighter. Day after day the lessons were, quite literally, beaten into her until they became instinct, embedding into her mind like the bruises slowly lining her trained body. Long into the night, the sweat would build upon her skin until it would glisten under the coming morning sun. The days she was supposed to spend resting would instead be used on "improvised training", tripping up purse thieves, beating thugs into the dirt, and even challenging a yakuza on more than one occasion. After each passing day and with each fight, Masuyo's strength, experience, and confidence grew.

And then one day, during her usual sparring, Masuyo witnessed a sight that made her blood run cold as ice. Through the doors to the boxing gym came the thieving boy that had harassed her parents' store. All in that same moment, the ice melted, turning to a rushing flood that enveloped her whole body. She charged up to the boy, ignoring her mentor's protest, locking her steel gray eyes onto his lazy pupils, fists tightened as her dead-eyed expression remained as cool as it was the day he met him. Recognizing her, he gave a grim smile, lips tightening as he felt as though his mouth might drool. The boy reach a hand out towards her chest, aiming to relive that day that replayed so pleasantly within his mind, getting close enough to practically feel the heat from her perfect flesh radiating through the fabric. Only, his memory was cut short when her fist struck the bridge of his nose as quick as lightning. The boy reeled back, clutching his nose, and only noticed a few seconds after that Masuyo was pointing towards the ring, her expression as cold and still as the grave. "Beat me, and you can do whatever you like. But if I win, you'll apologize before me, my family, and you won't step a foot in front of our home ever again."

The boys eyes widened, then narrowed. He tasted the blood streaming down to his mouth then smirked. His eyes flashed with temptation for just a moment. A few minutes later, they would be overtaken with fear. Masuyo beat the boy to a pulp, expertly countering and striking her fists and legs into every inch of his body. It was such a brutal showing, in fact, that paramedics were brought in before the match had even ended. The next day, she dragged him before her parents, whereupon he begged forgiveness onto the restaurant floor. His sincerity was received, and Masuyo's annoyingly generous parents saw him disappear into the Shibuya crowds. It was the last day she would ever see him.

With her training complete, it only seemed natural to have her undertake professional bouts. A mere mention of the idea from Gin, and Masuyo was fully onboard, feeling both vindicated and unstoppable. And unstoppable she was. Fight after fight, challenger after challenger, men and women, amateurs and veterans were broken and battered before her feet. The way she would quickly move and decisively strike her opponent from one side of the mat to the next. The way she would tear across the ring like a...yaksha. It commanded fear and respect alike. Her professional streak and ferocity, not to mention her infamous crusade against the underworld, gave rise to her alias as "The Demon of Shibuya". Given this notoriety, it wouldn't be long until a scout form the AFW would arrive. Taken aback initially, a world of opportunities struck her mind at once. The places she could go, the things she could see, the lesson she could learn, and all of them could be hers. Masuyo had all the assets the federation could desire. Strength, beauty, and dedication. "Just say the word," the scout said, simply, "and I'll show you the world of wrestling."

Only one thought came through her mind as she signed the dotted line: I'm going to win. No matter what.

Fun Facts:
- Makes an annual trip to Kyoto Tower, just to see her homeland out to the distance.
- Enjoys sweets, from simple candies to full desert spreads. Her strict training, however, keeps her figure balanced and limits her opportunities to become a glutton. Not too uncommon to find her at a candy shop on her break days, however.
- Her folks despise television, so she writes letters and occasionally stops for a bowl of noodles to assure them their daughter is still alive and kicking, but mostly grappling.
- Likes a good samurai flick.
