History: Ken Shiro is the younger brother to wrestler Raoh Shiro, second older brother to Toki and Kayoken (Twins), Jagi, Yuku (younger sister) and master/successor of the art of Hokuto no Shinken, a combination of pressure points and bone-breaking techniques combined with high impact moves. Hokuto Shinken ("North star" God Fist) originated in China 2000 years ago. Due to its extreme lethality, it is only taught from father to son. Only one son can inherit the full knowledge; in a dispute over succession, the losers must have their "fists sealed" (removal of memories, or destruction of their hands). Hokuto Shinken provides its practitioners with many abilities; most notable is knowledge of pressure points. Striking the correct points can cause such effects as paralysis, blindness, and total bodily destruction. In addition, a normal human can only use 30% of his natural abilities; training in Hokuto Shinken can give access to ones full abilities. The inner secret of the art is an ability to learn the techniques of an opponent after a single battle. Upon completing his training, Ken ventured to Alberta, Canada where he trained mercilessly in the Dungeon of the late great Stu Hart, with the likes of Chris Jericho, and Benoit. Upon completing his training there Shiro signed up with the promotion under @IW, WCWF in January 2001. There a under looked Shiro fought to make his name in the WCWF pitted against legends like Dangerous Doug Nichols, and fellow rookies like Pyro- Maniac and Gunslinger who later came over from the temporarily closed GWF. Shiro won his first title (WCWF North American title) defeating the legendary Doomsday Machine. Shiro went on to prove himself capture the WCWF Tag title twice (due to a controversial victory between the Ruatan Clan) with his then partner known as the Rage, and their tag team knows as "Fists of Rage". After Rage was fired from the WCWF, Shiro went under the name of the Dark Fist (a dark persona of Ken) where he went on to capture the WCWF Intercontinental title from Doomsday Machine who at the time held it. In time Ken shed the Dark Fist image, and went to the WCWF heavyweight division, where he had two historical battles with arch-rival Pyromaniac (Champion at the time.). Both battles though brutal, but in the end Shiro ended up coming short with the victory both times. At the political closing of the @IW, Ken left with his brother Raoh and opened up a boxing jump in Mount Vernon, and competed in the WEBL boxing association as a bare-knuckle fighter. In early March of 2002, Shiro received word that the WCWF was open under the banner of the UWN (Unified Wrestling Network) under the new name Fallout Championship Wrestling (FCW). Ken returned under that banner a now seasoned veteran and made his debut in the FCW Extreme Division, where he climb the division, and captured the FCW Extreme title and held it for a lengthy 35 days. After that Shiro would go on with his now then partner Truestar of "Fists of Fire" to capture the FCW Tag titles. Ken left his tag partner shortly after dropping the belts feeling he was the only one carrying the team. After a brief and disturbing feud with his brother Raoh, Ken basically tried to pursue a singles career by himself. But Raoh felt a part of his missing, and knew that in the end he needed his brother Ken Shiro in order to complete him. After a series of persuasions Ken reluctantly returned to the Lords of Darkness, and former the tag team with his brother Raoh "Fists of Blood". Shiro later went on to the FCW Cruiser weight Division where he struggled for sometime. After being banned from the division due to losing a title match with the stipulation being added to he. Ken went on to the FCW Heavyweight Division where he fought his way to the top along side pros like Pro-Pain, Revelation, and 6-Time World champion Armageddon. Unsuccessful in capturing the FCW title for a second year, Shiro tried to use a clause in his contract to get a shot at the FCW Cruiser weight title. This did not go well the FCW President RK Anderson, and in a big dispute Shiro publicly quit the FCW and walked out. Ken would later return on a Pandemonium show and attack the then champion Hirogishina Jr. Ken Shiro went on to later capture the FCW Cruiser weight title at FCW's PPV December 22, 2002 "Oh Unholy Night" ending the year 2002 as the last Cruiser weight champion. Shiro would go on to defend the FCW Cruiser weight title for a lengthy reign of 53 days. After dropping the title to Brian Clothier, the man who was responsible for Ken being banned from the FCW Cruiser weight Division the first time, Shiro would go on to capture his second Cruiser weight title from former champion Rui Pinto. Ken would go on to prove his dominance in the FCW Tag Team Division as he and his older brother Raoh would capture the FCW Tag titles on two different occasions this year making Shiro's total tag title accomplishments 5 in total. The Shiro brothers would prove that they are the most dominant tag team in probably the entire GWA, when they would defeat the current CWU/ACW Tag team champions Midnight Rising in a tag team titles match at the UWN's first Anniversary PPV. Ken Shiro had one more task at hand, which had eluded him on three different occasions, after winning his fourth #1 FCW Heavyweight title contendership match; Shiro would participate in a short but brutal feud against current FCW Heavyweight Champion Letterman, which would lead to a title match at the FCW PPV Slaughter House. Shiro and the Human Pitbull would battle finisher for finisher and move for move until Ken would nail one final Dragon Elbow Strike taking the fight out of Letterman, and getting the 3 count to finally win the title on his fourth try. On that day Ken would accomplish the highest accolade in the FCW history as he would be known as a Champion of Champions, one of the few men to have held every single title awarded by the FCW. Ken would later go onto to capture the FCW Heavyweight title for a second time in his career, as well as the FCW Tag Team title with his brother Raoh setting the record for the longest title reign (94 days). Having solidified his status as possibly one of the most biggest and possible legendary wrestlers in the business Ken at the closing of the UWA decided instead of hanging up the boots to make the journey over to the BWI to carve an even bigger notch in his career by winning his first World title, and possibly the BWI Undisputed Platinum title as well. Ken would hold true to completing that task capturing the SWA World Heavyweight title against then champion 3BD, before that he would temporarily hold the SWA Extreme title for a time, during his time in the SWA Ken and his brother Raoh would join forces with once rival Jesse "Texas Terror" Rollen to form the stable known as the Untouchables turning his back on his younger sister Yuku, and all the fans that once supported him Shiro would prove to be one of the most cold and calculating heels to play the game to this date, and give rise to the most dominating stable the BWI would see to it's fateful closing, where Shiro would drop the World title in one of the most historic and controversial ladder matches at the closing of the company.
