Biography

Revival

Restorer of His Family’s Name

Once one of ancient Japan's most honored families, the Takahashis were decimated in battle. They lost everything, including the emblem of their power: the revered sword, Sento. Those who survived joined the Bakuto, a predecessor of the Yakuza, for its protection.

Five centuries later, Kenshi is raised on the stories of his ancient family's exploits. Detesting his corrupt Yakuza life, he pines to free the Takahashis from the Yakuza's grasp and restore their name.

But for his family to follow him, Kenshi must first fight to prove that he can lead. His first battle is to find and retrieve Sento.

Ending

I wasn’t looking for allies against the Yakuza, but I found one in Special Agent Jackson Briggs.

He’d heard gangsters plotting to kill me on a wiretap and came calling, hoping I’d be his informant.

We planned to part ways when we got the job done. But then Shang Tsung showed up to steal Sento.

Needless to say, Jackson had questions. It blew his mind to hear that the stories in Johnny’s movies were real.

Once the shock wore off, Jackson quickly sized up the threats Earthrealm faced. To deal with them, he got his bosses at the FBI to form the Outworld Investigation Agency.

When he asked me to sign on, I hesitated. After all, me? A government agent?

But it’s an important job. And more importantly to me, an honest living.
