Yosuke Saruta
猿田洋祐It might be hard for you to read his profile because he won a lot of titles, but it means that he is a proven athlete. Probably, he is an athlete at the high level as an MMA fighter in HEARTS physically, technically and mentally. Since he became a world champion in 2 associations: “Shooto” and “ONE”, we don’ t have to explain his ability. His stoic personality has been greatly affecting other athletes of HEARTS. He tries to take every opportunity to recapture “ONE championship”. After realizing it, he seems to have more ambition. You may be curious about his future. But he seems to keep it secret.

Uoi FULLSWING
魚井フルスイングHe has ever participated in RIZIN, featuring his high KO rate. As his name shows, he takes a full swing with his fist. It is a bigger full swing than you would expect. Currently. as his opponents have taken countermeasures against his full-swing punch, he tries to improve other techniques such as bunt or base-running. Oh, we are talking about baseball!
Anyway, he should definitely show us again an amazing KO by a full-swing punch. If he makes it, the audience will definitely go crazy over it!

Yutaka Hoshino
星野豊He comes from Niigata and is a hope of Niigata Prefecture. He has a generous and unique air which may be associated with extensive rice fields in Niigata.

Hirotaka “THE RICH” Nakata
中田“ザ・リッチ”大貴He is a good match producer with his strong mentality and toughness. His matches destroy the idea that a child from a rich family has no strong ambition to achieve something. He hates to be called “THE RICH”, but we will continue to call it to characterize him, and his family is really richer than general households. He was suddenly ranked in the ranking of Pancrase due to his victory over his opponent Mr. Tamura as a former UFC fighter after a fierce fighting. He is a promising athlete.

Takeaki Kinoshita
木下タケアキHe turned from karate to MMA. On the TV program called “Fighting Proxy War”, he won a victory by knocking out his opponent, which led to his professional debut. His selling point is a blow, but he was knocked down, defeated or lost by committing a foul due to his confusion caused by the nature of MMA which is different from karate. Currently, he has got accustomed to MMA, so he is excited to beat his opponents from now. He has never won by decision from his amateur period. His fighting style aims to definitely defeat his opponents because it is karate!
