====SECTION 1: HISTORY OF SATOSHI KOJIMA
========================================
"Koji Cutter"

Satoshi Kojima debuted 13 years ago on July, 1991 for
New Japan. During his debuting years, he was able to
win the Young Lions Cup against Manabu Nakanishi in 1994.
That same year, Kojima traveled to Germany and worked in
the CWA. It was there in which he refined his skills and
was able to bulk up. In 1996, he returned to New Japan
and he teamed with Nakanishi, winning the IWGP Tg Team
Titles against Riki Chosu and Kensuke Sasaki.

Things would change once Kojima joined forces with Keiji
Mutoh. Mutoh's influence was so great on Kojima, that when
Mutoh joined All Japan, Kojima went along with him. Kojima
became an instant hit with the fans and gained status as one
of the great aces of All Japan.

2004 has been a grand year for Kojima, as he was fought hard
battles against NOAH's Mitsuharu Misawa and the Triple Crown
Champion Toshiaki Kawada. The future looks bright for this young
star.

=======================
==SECTION 4: STRATEGY==
=======================

GENERAL STRATEGY
Kojima's strength lies within his suplexes and his Lariats. The match
could be shorten by using this quick strategy. Attack the head till
your opponent is down or CRITICAL'ed. Just stay way from any Tecnical
or Submission experts.

STRIKES
"CRITICAL!". Kojima can hit you with his Lariat and finish the match from
any angle. When the situation looks dangerous, run to the ropes and give
your opponent a Lariat. Believe me, it can end a match real quick!

As for the other strikes, just focus on hitting your opponent with elbows
and the Lariats. Remember to rarely use the Dropkick as it can let Kojima
open to an attack.

GRAPPLES
Kojima has some great grapples in his arsenal. Use his weak grapples early
on to combo with a Lariat Attack. His (A) moves arent as great, but stil
provide some good offense when needed. You should concentrate more on is
(B) and (X+A) moves as they help quicken the match. Remember to use the
Avalanche Koji Cutter against Misawa!
