General:
Kyoshiro is an extremely
famous Kabuki star in Edo. To pass his fathers skills in kabuki, he started
to learn both kabuki dancing and using the naginata. Due to his natural
talent in fighting, his skills increased at a great speed. To show off
his talent, he and his kabuki party travel around Japan. During his travels,
he witnesses Zankuro's murdering
people. Seeing this as a good chance to surpass his father, he goes off
in search of Zankuro. A year later, he was attacked by demons and nearly
lost his life and soul to Mizuki. But he was
saved by Amakusa. To not get attacked
once again, he goes off to kill the source of the demons, Mizuki.

Comment:
They made him a lot
"cooler" after Samurai Shodown 2... Definitely a classic design that fits
right into his series.
