Shoto Kanji
Shoto was first brought to Master Locks' dojo by a young man he had met recently, Derrick Stone. Noticing Shoto's incredible hairstyle, Master Locks took him on as a pupil without any hesitation, and he began climbing through the belt ranks in no time at all. Everyone was astonished by Shoto's rapid progression, many wondering if he even needed the training at all. He went on to receive his black belt faster than any other student in the dojo's history, and became a full-time student of the dojo. Along the way, he was befriended by Derrick and Master Locks himself, becoming a big part of both their lives, though he's remained very closed-off and emotionless toward the two. He never really talks about himself or his past, save from the fact that he is from Taiyo, leaving others puzzled as to why he came to Eagleton in the first place.
While he is a mostly friendly person, Shoto shows basically no emotion whatsoever, and the only thing he really like to talk about for very long is karate, which inadvertently makes him feel mysterious and intimidating to those around him. When asked why he's like this, he just stares off into space, muttering something about "family" before trying to change the subject.
Shoto, along with the rest of the dojo, joins the Duels of Fortune tournament on the recommendation of Master Locks, hoping to test his students' skills in a practical environment.
