At the young tender age of 5 his family went back to Japan. He grew up there and learned to speak Japanese, English, Spanish, French, and German. At the age of 11 his older brother, Matshuri, took him to an AJPW show. Twang Hi fell in love with wrestling. At age 15 he began training under Japanese wrestling legend Onita. At the age of 16 he first met The Great Muta. The two became close friends and Shinja now credits much of his wrestling ability to The Great Muta. Shinja was a traditionalist, that is until he witnessed the IWA Japan King of the Death Matches that witnessed Cactus Jack defeat Terry Funk in the finals. Shortly after seeing this Shinja debuted in IWA Japan, at the age of 17, but couldn't cut it. He then flew to his birthplace of Detroit and wrestled in MCW (Motor City Wrestling) His unique style earned him critical acclaim and lots of belts. He wa! s then contacted by WAV and UWA, two top indpendents based out of Las Vegas and San Diego respectedly. After those two feds crumbled, Shinja was out of work. He returnd to Japan to wrestle in RJPW, Ral Japan Pro Wrestling where he quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his devastating finsiher, Utopian Nightmare. Then at age 19 he was given a buzz by Rich Armani, owner of the AWA. Shinja was brought on board as a trainer and paid amounts of money he couldn't believe. But wrestling was his love, not training. He made one last trip to Japan and the promotion IDW, Intense Dojo Wrestling. Here he became a Japanese Wrestling legend by the age of 21. Chants of Shinja filled the arena. On his 22nd birthday he was phoned by Michael Dupin, but turned down the offer to join the, then EWCWF. He then traveled throughout Japan captivating crowds. Then two months before his 23rd birthday he arrived at FWO headquarters and signed on, two months later, he made his on-screen debut.
