A hulking brute of a man who took to professional wrestling after a turbulent career in sumo. His run in DEFIANCE as a beastly warrior who left destruction in his wake earned him the now-famous sobriquet of "God-Beast," and a disregard for the traditional boundaries of good and evil, face and heel. Much like the renowned kaiju monsters he is modeled after, there is only the fight and the damage it leaves behind. 

1.) STRONK -- Beneath the bulk and flab is a monster that could give competitive powerlifters a run for their money. He could easily lift his body weight, or more, in a press slam position for reps. And that only makes his power moves hurt even more.

2.) Explosive -- Sumo matches are short and nasty; Mushi has built on his conditioning, allowing him to have explosive bursts of offense. As Eddie Dante will point out, a minute in the squared circle with Mushigihara is like five or six matches in the classical dohyo.

3.) Durable -- Like most larger wrestlers, he can take a lot of abuse. This makes him great for coming into the ring in the hopes of wearing an opponent down by simply refusing to stay down, forcing them to exert themselves more. This is especially the case during attempts to kick out of his pinfalls. 

1.) Speed -- While his recent weight loss leaves him more mobile and less prone to tiring out, he's still far from a speedster. His forte is, and always has been, raw power.

2.) Dependent on standing -- Just about all of his moveset requires him to be on his feet. If you can keep him on the ground, he's in trouble.

3.) Easy to frustrate.
