Before Suda51 entered the world of electronic gaming he was employed as an undertaker.
The money was good. He earned 50,000 yen just to retrieve the corpses from a hospital morgue.
Suda couldn't really handle the job, as the fumes & odors of the dead caused him to vomit many times.
Such an act is considered unprofessional, and is highly frowned upon.

Suda51 saw a help wanted ad for the videogame company known as Human.
The game in development was "Fire ProWrestling Special."
Suda51,who has quite a substantial amount of wrestling knowledge. As well as being a fan of puroresu (Japanese pro wrestling) since childhood.
He had great confidence in himself that he would be accepted for the job.
A month passed since Suda applied for the job, and he never received a reply back.
Suda51 figured that he might as well get married & settle down as an undertaker.
One day Suda51 was contacted by Human relaying him the message that his application has been accepted.
The change in heart was mainly due to the fact that they were lacking in employees who held extensive knowledge of puroresu.

Although Suda51's first game was about Japanese pro wrestling you can still see signs of Suda51's trademark writing style.
The story mode of Firepro Wrestling had one of the most shocking endings of all time.
Largely due to the fact that it was so unexpected.
Let's just say that the ending wasn't a very happy one.
(The hero falls for Akira Maeda's fictitious sister, she dumps him. He becomes undisputed champion of the world, decides it's a hollow victory, and kills himself.)

Suda 51's favorite athlete of 2003 is Bob Sapp. "Bob the beast Sapp" .
