Kairi

History

Kairi was raised in the Mizugami clan with his sisters Hokuto and Nanase, but was involved in a fight to the death on a ship with Hokuto. He had no idea why his sister wanted him dead, and was thrown off the ship during the fight. He survived the fall and went ashore. He had lost all his memories after the incident.

Personality

Kairi is an amnesiac and does not remember his family, so he does not display much affection to others. After his fall,these are the only words he could remember: "You must challenge your limits." Due to this, Kairi seeks to be the strongest warrior he could, and often despises opponents who are no match for him. His purpose is only to fight and win.

Mastery 

Kairi follows the path of the Shura, and commands mastery of the Shinki Hatsudo, Maryu Rekko, and Moryo Kasen techniques.These techniques resemble the Hadouken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku of the Ansastuken respectively. He is entering into the path of the demon by following the way of the Shura, similar to Akuma who is becoming more demonic as he indulges deeply in the Satsui no Hadou.


Journey

Kairi was raised and trained in the Mizugami clan's ancient martial art system. He was thrown off a ship while fighting Hokuto, and lost his memories after that. He has no memories of his past, so he constantly wanders around the world fighting other warriors, and looking for clues that may lead to his past. As he delves deeper into the path of the Shura, he ventures closer to the realm of the demon. He is becoming more demonic every day. If he does not recover his memories and reconcile with his sister Hokuto, he may lose his humanity forever.
