Hyo Imawano
(LAST UPDATE: 1/18/2010)

GENERAL/STORY:
Hyo Imawano is the mastermind behind the events that occured during the Rival Schools storyline, with his main goal to take over all of Japan. Hyo is ultimately defeated by students from Taiyo High School, which include his twin brother Kyosuke. Hyo is also playable in the game, with his ending showing him successful in his plans but regretting having to defeat Kyosuke in doing so. However, this ending is not canonical.

In Project Justice, Hyo appears as the final boss of the game, but is not the main antagonist. In most of the game's Story Mode, he initially appears to defeat Kurow Kirishima, who had been shown brainwashing Hyo earlier in the storyline. Afterwards, he is shown being taken over by his father's spirit, where he becomes "Demon" Hyo, the final boss of the game. Again he is defeated by Kyosuke, but dies from the fight.

REVIEW:
Hyo is undoubtedly a badass boss to a great series... He's got the look, the fighting style, and the twisted and mysterious personality to back it up. Great design. Capcom should consider using him more in future cross-over games or continue the Rival Schools series dammit!
