CHARACTER OVERVIEWCHARACTER SUMMARY: Iori Doma isn't supposed to be here. He wrestled across Japan for the better part of two decades and was enjoying settling down and running his noodle shop. But then tragedy struck when his husband, The Indomitable Genji, tore his rotator cuff training for The Triad Games in the United States. Suddenly, Genji Trios's partners Leo Takagi and Ken Kitano needed a new partner. Iori stepped up to take his husband's place.
FACE/TWEENER/HEEL: Face
STRENGTHS: Cagey fighter. Iori was never the biggest, strongest, or quickest. He's always been a little rotund, even before he retired from active competition. But he was always knew how to get an advantage over his opponents by outwitting them or tricking the referees. Iori has that kind of charisma where he can break rules, but still be loved by the fans. He's also very good at taunting his opponents and tricking them into making mistakes. And, when it comes down to it, Iori is very good at taking a beating and playing the face in peril, keeping his Trio-mates fresh for the inevitable hot tag.

IORIAIYUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!: a running hip attack to an opponent seated in the corner, followed by a gyrating stink face; so named because it's what Iori screams as he runs in.
-
SHENANIGANS!: A catch-all term for Iori's penchant for bending the rules and playing mind games with his opponents, often screamed out by the commentators. With Iori's innocent charm, he's very good into fooling the referees into thinking that anything illegal was done by accident or wasn't done by him at all. Have fun with this one, match writer! This comes in many forms, including but not limited to:
- The old fashioned Ric Flair style discreet low blow
- choking an opponent on the ropes for longer than usual (often arguing with the referee that it's not an actual choke, stalling the count while he's still choking the opponent)
- spitting water into an opponent's eyes
- quick thumb to the eye
- making male opponents uncomfortable by hitting on them
- distracting the referee so he doesn't see an opponent's tag (thus causing the referee to send back the fresh man back to the apron so Iori's team can continue working on the one who was trying to tag out)
FINISHER: Doma Arigato (spinning waterwheel facebuster; Dalton Castle's Bang a Rang)
Super Claw Ichi! (a combination of Mandible Claw with his right hand and an Iron Claw with his left hand)
