Biography
Debuting in Japan while still in school, he was in love with wrestling and loved it more after getting in the ring. Once he finished school he would began wrestling in China even in Africa, was too small for most people around Europe. Worked a lil in Australia, but mainly stayed in Japan and China. In '03 he would be lured into SEF where he was given a chance to be on national television, but to a small degree and wasn't used too well, just as an undercarder really and went by the name Pung Loa. He paid his dues and began doing better and getting more in SEF. He continues to prove himself each time he gets in the ring and tries reaching for the top. Went back to Japan several times, but showed up in SEF a few times, then kind of dropped off the scene for a while. Finally returned in '09 sporting a new look and a new attitude and a new name as The Grand Minoru! Captured the International Title in the fall, but was one of the many victims of the mass firings that fall and stripped of his title. Came back with the many others who signed with MCW in the summer of 2010 when SEF re opened it. Stayed with SEF ater it cancelled MCW and Minoru worked on Sacrifice until it was ended, so now he works when he can in SEF. Has decided to go by a new name, so no longer The Grand Minoru, but now Hiroku Shinobi has arrived to show us what happens when no one holds him back.
