Simi Taitoko "Toks" Fale (born 8 January 1982) is a Tongan/New Zealand professional wrestler who has worked his entire career for New Japan Pro-Wrestling after a short stint as a rugby union player. Training in 2009 at the NJPW Dojo, he earned a spot on the roster as King Fale, a member of the Young Lion program, in June 2010. He spent the next three years learning both the tools of the trade and the discipline of Japan within the undercard of the company. After almost three years, he graduated the program and gained his first distinct character exposure as an accessory to the history-defining Face–Heel Turn of Prince Devitt. As a "King" being an enforcer to a "Prince" would sound odd, he took on what became his signature moniker — Bad Luck Fale.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Along with Devitt, Karl Anderson, and Tama Tonga, Fale is one of the four original founding members of the Bullet Club, and one of the two who has stayed with the NJPW group through its entire tenure, gaining a steady reputation as a cool-headed yet vicious behemoth who thinks more than he lets on. He is a 1-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion and a 3-time NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Champion* twice with both Guerrillas of Destiny, one with Tama Tonga and Yujiro Takahashi, as well as one of the shot-callers in the angle that exiled The Elite from Bullet Club as they left NJPW to form All Elite Wrestling.

Bald of Evil: Most of his heel run, particular when he doesn't have a small mohawk at the top.

Area 51: He and Chase Owens started boasting about "Storming Area 51" when that was a summer meme in 2019, as if trying to recruit everyone in Bullet Club to join them. This became the premise for a comic book released later in the year.

Big Bad Duumvirate: He and his cousin Tama Tonga had been trying to form one at the head of Bullet Club OG in 2018, but they seemed to be doing more rabblerousing than taking over at least during the G1 tournament. Subverted when it turned out to be a triumvirate with the very dangerous Jay White.

Big Bad Wannabe: He and Tama were looking like this during the 2018 G1 Climax tournament, as they more often than not cheated and ran interference to get themselves disqualified for the sake of causing damage rather than to actually ensure victory. However, foreshadowing the truth was their high rate of success in the preview tag matches on the same tour, as well as the importance of the times they did cheat to win.
