WHO ARE WE

James Avery Pleasant II
Pro Record: 5–1 Lightweight
James is a tactician with the reach to keep you guessing and the mat control to end you. He blends distance control with vicious subs, making him a nightmare in every range.

JACK 'THE AXE' NICKEL
Amateur Record: 2-0 Featherweight
Nickell fights like an avalanche—fast, overwhelming, and inescapable. You don’t want to backpedal when Jack starts swinging. He’s steel-willed, fight-obsessed, and destined for a title shot.
Wear the Mark. Feed the Fire.
Yokai gear is made for those who get it. Each piece channels the chaos, culture, and combat spirit of the team.
