Born in the aftermath of World War II in Nobeoka, Japan, The Great Kabuki, real name Akihisa Mera, grew up with the Japanese ideals of resolve and honor in battle. This was the building block to the ethos of Sumo.
During these years, Akihisa Mera made a name for himself and worked most of the major territories in the South, Southeast, and Southwestern areas of the country, capturing NWA gold at every stop along the way.
The winter of 1942 saw not only heaps of snow but the birth of a legend. Born that January, Gary Hart would take in the frigid air and grow up a Chicagoan, but it would be the heat in and out of the ring in Texas that he would be remembered for.
The Great Kabuki and Gary Hart remain inextricably linked forever. These two powerful baddies were unstoppable when united in their reign of terror.. until their union abruptly ended in disaster!
