History[]
Tough[]
2 years ago Bull Matsuda was a violent drunk. He was frustrated at his inability to gain recognition and took it out on his girlfriend. After a particularly violent attack, she finally left him.

Some day Bull challenged Kiichi Miyazawa to a street fight as defeating the winner of the Hyper Battle Tournament would raise his name. Kiichi was surprised by his strength, but he quickly choked him out. Upon regaining conscious he followed Kiichi home and challenged him again. However, Seiko Miyazawa was able to distract Bull by offering him dinner. He then informed them that it was Booker Zero who came up with the idea for him to show off his strength.
The next day, he informed Booker Zero that he lost. Booker Zero was furious and he had him challenge another champion Juuzou Shachiyama to a street fight, only this time with a camera crew present.
Bull didn't expect Juuzou to be such a powerful person. He ended up having his front teeth knocked out and being mercilessly beaten. Afterward, he went to get his money since his medical bills had started to pile up. Unfortunately, Booker Zero refused to pay him, however he did give him a consolation prize, informing him that the video of his fight went viral creating a lot of interest in a rematch between the two. Bull told him that if he wanted to fight Juuzou he would have to work out to the fullest and even that might not be enough. Anyway Bull began training in the mountains with Kiichi Miyazawa.

During his training with Kiichi, Bull's ex girlfriend called him and told him that he had a son. Taking a break, he went to see her, admitted that at this time he dont's think he could be a good father, but he would try to make it work. However, she refused to take him back. She only told him about the child because she felt he had the right to know, but she still hadn't forgiven him for what he had done. Even after he told her that he stopped drinking she was still terrified of him and called him an ogre. After hearing this, Bull accepted that he wasn't worthy of being a father and apologized.
Before his match, Bull was approached by Booker Zero who ordered him to throw the fight away as he saw it as nothing more than a promotion to Juuzou and a chance to come closer to Kiichi. Bull refused, stating that Kiichi will only be used to make him stronger. Booker threatened to not only fire him but ruin his life if he don't throw the fight.
When Bull finally met Juuzou in the Monster Wars, Juuzou ended up dominating the match. At first, his middle kick gave Bull flashbacks of the time they first met. However, he refused to accept defeat and started to get serious. Unfortunately, it still proved to be not enough. Not willing to let all that work be for nothing, Bull fought on and continued to push Juuzou. No matter how many times he was knocked down, Bull kept getting up. The fight seemed to be turned around when Bull was able to perform the special skill and went into a full rage. Ultimately, Juuzou used a leg lock against Bull.
Still, Bull refused to give up and stomped on Juuzou who acknowledged Bull's strength, but Bull was able to get out. The two eventually started to trading punches. Eventually, the ref was forced to stop the fight. Even though Juuzou won, Bull left the stadium to the cheers of the crowd. After the match, he went to go see his ex and saved her from one of her neighbors who attacked her because her baby was crying. Afterwards, he left but she stopped him seeing that he was truly trying to change and she agreed to let Bull be in his child's life.
Abilities[]
Bull started wrestling in school and never lost a match. He made his professional debut in the Olympic and after that he went into the MMA. Then once again no real match was to be found for him as he was able to win 8 times inside the cage. However, Bull's fighting style isn't really that good as he uses a sheer force instead of actual skills to win matches. During one of his promotion shows, is shown that he is strong enough to pull a plane by himself, although it probably had to be very much just a show somehow as it would be too much exaggeration for a man to be able to pull such an enormous plane, which does not change the fact that Bull is still incredibly strong physically.
