Finally some confirmation this rumors been swirling for a long time now lol But it should be cool Ninja's PRIDE career hasn't been as good as it could be for a long time now and this could be a fresh start for him. I'll try to get some profiles up for them in abit to lol
I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
