GUNSO, the leader of DOVE professional wrestling, has an overwhelming charisma and visual appeal that fascinates viewers regardless of gender. He immersed himself in music and pursued the methodology of the indies, which he has put into his costume, which he spoke about today.
Hair is dreadlocked. He says that he had to cut his long hair short when he broke his neck and after that he had red hair and bobs. He made it into dreads when it grew long again, and he wanted to make them look as natural as possible rather than just a copy of someone else's. He says that the downside is that if barbed wire gets caught in it, he can't take it out.
KNIVES
His two Shino are his trademark.
"It's a tool for winding wire. I started using them when I bought scissors to a Deathmatch Carnival, and Masashi Takeda bought in a scissors board. I thought, "I can't use this...". After I lost them at the venue I searched under the ring and found these. If you where to really hit someone with it, you would kill them, but when you pierce someone with it they don't know how to deal with it, so they have holes in their head".
SHIRT
The shirt is custom made and is based on commercially available work clothes. It is modelled after a design seen in 1970s punk made for him SEDITIONARIES (a company who fuse classic designs with modern rock). The design around the sleeve is of an evil dictator leading a group with the words "Necessary Evil" under it.
GUNSO says he had his first tattoo at 29. One of his band members died in a traffic accident, and to commemorate it he had a close friend who was a tattoo artist make a picture of him so he wouldn't forget him. He has so many now that GUNSO says his arms look "biomechanical" with both arms looking like a "living creature" (note, he also said once that he can't go to public swimming pools with them).
BOOTS
GUNSO folds the tops of his socks over the tops of his boots. Originally he wrestled in socks in the style of Dynamite Kid, but he found them slippery and difficult to use, so he started wearing boots with socks by Dr Martin. As for the boots themselves, he says they are the only part that signifies he is a pro-wrestler, but he wanted to make them look like work boots like the rest of his outfit.
