Entrance Information
Entrance Theme: "Lift The Fog Up (Eccy Remix)" by Shing02
Entrance Description: "Lift The Fog Up (Eccy Remix)" by Shing02 begins to blare throughout the building. White lights begin to strobe, as Sakuraba steps out onto the stage with his face shrouded by the hood of his towel and marches towards the ring. Sakuraba slides onto the apron and then wipes his feet. He swipes his towel off his head and glances around for a short while. Sakuraba springs over the ropes, and, letting his karate instincts take over, does a bow with his fists clenched at his waist. He does this to all four corners, then backs up to his side, taking off his gi. Sakuraba then takes a sumo squat position and stretches to warm up, waiting for the bell to ring.
Attire: Black karate gi with his school's emblem, along with a black towel worn over his head and tucked into his gi's collar to look lie a hood.
