Kea Tukino

Background
Despite being born in Australia, Kea Tukino has Maori heritage, which he is very proud of. He signed with KUMITE, and there he uses the Maori haka as his theme song. Kea Tukino is a martial arts instructor for the kids. However, if you have seen Tukino in KUMITE, that is how he teaches his young students: By beating them with no mercy whatsoever. During KUMITE 2 coverage, "Matty" Matt Screemings says that Tukino has a record of 542-0 against his students. Since then, the record has improved a lot, although is still unknown.

In KUMITE, Tukino is doing a really good job with brutal KO wins over game show host Masashi Yaro and bondage club owner Owen Chambers. Despite a poor performance in the 2016 83kg KUMITE tournament, his fights were deemed so exciting and impressive that he was signed by the Human Cockfighting League in 2016. He made his debut in HCL at HCL 55 in the Middleweight contender tournament against Caramel Thunderbird.
