10 Things You Need To Know About Minoru Suzuki
5. His Theme Song Is Legendary
Every warrior needs a song to lead him or her off to battle, and Minoru Suzuki is no exception. What really makes his entrance special, though, is that he has one of the most memorable theme songs in all of wrestling.
The song is "Kaze ni Nare" (or "Become the Wind") by J-pop singer Ayumi Nakamura, and it's truly an epic, theatrical production. It may not seem to fit Suzuki at first - it sounds more like a movie theme than anything else - but by the time the English chorus kicks in and Nakamura starts singing "I have to be a lonely warrior tonight!" it works perfectly.
Even better is actually witnessing Suzuki's entrance to the song. For all his toughness and anger, Suzuki's also got a certain undeniable showmanship, and he truly embraces the song as he makes his way to the ring. This was never more true than at Wrestle Kingdom 7, when Nakamura performed the song live.
