Professional wrestling career
Lucha libre has a tradition of keeping the real name and personal information of masked wrestlers private if they have never been officially unmasked, it makes it possible that Akuma has worked under a different ring name and masked identity before May 12, 2012 where he made his in-ring debut under that name. He trained in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) wrestling school under trainers Arkangel de la Muerte, El Hijo del Gladiador, Franco Colombo, Tony Salazar and Virus. Akuma made his debut working under the name "Akuma 3:16", referencing his brother's ring name, on Dragonmania VII, an annual event promoted by Toryumon Mexico, where he teamed up with fellow trainees Tornado, Voraz and Zuma, losing to the team of Kato Kung Lee Jr., Rock Star, Rolling Boy and Tetsuki, all trainees of either CMLL or Último Dragón (Toryumon's founder). He was later introduced as part of CMLL's Generacion 2012 in August, prior to his official CMLL debut. Generacion 2012 included Herodes Jr., Taurus, Genesis, Guerrero Negro Jr., Espanto Jr. and Oro Jr. His official CMLL debut came a few months later on September 16, 2012 on a show in Arena Mexico where he teamed up with Guerrero Negro Jr. to defeat Oro Jr. and Robin. On January 1, 2013 Akuma and Guerreo Negro Jr. teamed up to compete in the annual "Young Dragon Cup" held by Toryumon Mexico each year. The tag team was defeated in the first round by Taurus and Zumba.
