ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: As the intro to "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce begins to play, lights flash all over the stage. When the song really kicks in, red and yellow lights pulse on the stage as Osamu Yamamoto comes out wearing his red leather jacket. He looks down at the ground as he shakes his head, psyching himself out. His whole body begins to vibrate and he looks as though he's going mad before he throws us head up, throws his fists down, and shouts towards the ring. He then waltzes to the ring, seemingly in his own little world as he plays air guitar with the song. Yamamoto slides into the ring, legs first, smiling at the crowd. He then spreads his legs and pushes himself up by his hands. After standing up, Yamamoto runs up onto the second turnbuckle and puts his right hand in the air. He then jumps off, spins in mid air, and lands on one knee, karate chopping the air as a single red spotlight focuses on him.

SHORT BIO: Yamamoto spent the first three years of his career training in the Ultimate Japanese Wrestling dojo and wrestling for them part-time. After the powers that be at UJW concidered Yamamoto "graduated", he began wrestling for them and for Pro Wrestling Revolution in various venues across Japan. Yamamoto earned the nickname "Black Magic" because of his love of black clothing, his black hair, and because people who watched his work said it was "like magic" how he was able to get out of certain situations and lock in submission holds so quickly. Within just a couple of years, Yamamoto racked up multiple championships in both promotions. Two of those titles were the PWR Junior Heavyweight Tag-Team Titles and the PWR World Tag-Team Titles with Roketto. Together, they were called the Black Rockets, and teamed together for about a year, dominating most of the PWR roster before eventualy breaking up. When UJW offered Yamamoto a full-time contract, he accepted. In UJW, Yamamoto became one of the top stars in the company, headlining show after show. Now Yamamoto has the opportunity to work under a legend in the industry and he is taking the chance with JPW.
