Jacob Samuel Fatu, born April 18, 1992, is a notable Major League Wrestling (MLW) championship holder. He was born in California, USA. The 31-year-old wrestler, who weighs 280 pounds and stands 6 feet 1 inch (185 cm) tall, has six children due in 2024.

Born into the famous Anoa’i family, which has produced many famous wrestlers, Jacob is a proud member of the famous Samoan wrestling dynasty. Fatu continues the historic pro-wrestling tradition his family started. Jacob’s father, Sam Fatu, also known as the Tonga Kid, was also a WWE star.

Despite Jacob’s father being a successful professional wrestler, Rikishi was a large part of his early training. He used the inspiration of watching his cousins, The Usos, on television to turn adversity into a future in wrestling. Fatu, a proud member of the Anwai wrestling dynasty, is the brother of Journey Fatu.
