In The Beginning

Fale Simitaitoko was born in Tonga
Fale’s family migrated to South Auckland, New Zealand in 1988 where Fale spent the rest of his childhood and teenage years attending school and pursuing rugby
It was through his promising high school rugby career at De La Salle College where Fale was offered a scholarship to play university-level rugby in Japan
Fale took up the scholarship and moved to Japan after finishing high school
However a recurring injury had resurfaced which ended Fale’s hopes of becoming a professional rugby player. Fale moved back to NZ
Fale was later contacted by a friend in Japan. The friend convinced Fale to return to Japan and join him at a wrestling tryout for New Japan Pro Wrestling
Fale’s tryout was a success. He began training at the New Japan Dojo
