Tiger Mask
Real name: Naoto Date
Home: Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, Japan
Membership: Tiger's Den
A.K.A.: Satoru Sayama, Sammy Lee, Tiger King, Yellow Devil
Finisher: Diving Headbutt
Background: In Japan there exists a group called the Tiger's Den. A shadowy group, they have their hands in everything. For a price, they can make you a champion. Naoto Date was their rising star in America and looked to be a world champ before too long.
Visiting his old orphanage, Naoto was horror struck when a young boy approached him and told him he wanted to be exactly like him, cheating and all! This kicked off a change in Date, who promptly quit the Tiger's Den and started striking back at their operations across the world.
This brought him in contact and conflict with the Superstars. He considered joining the team full time, but seeing McMahon junior brought back too memories of the Den.
When Date grew too old, he officially 'died' but changed his name and passed the mask onto a successor.
