GENERAL/STORY:
Eiji is an adventurer who was trained in swordfighting, along with his friend Kayin, by his older brother Sho. However, Sho suddenly abandoned the pair. Eiji then entered the first two Toshinden tournaments in hopes of finding his lost brother, to no avail, although he managed to help destroy the Secret Society in the latter. He then learned he was being targeted by the Organization and he entered the third tournament hosted by it. With the help of the fighters on his side, he managed to destroy the Organization and its leader Abel. Soon after, Sho finally faced Eiji and left his son Subaru in his care. However, before Eiji had a chance to fully reunite with his brother, he disappeared immediately afterwards once again.

Eiji trained Subaru in swordfighting and eventually passed down his katana to him. He was then offered to become the leader of a new criminal organization named the Gerard Foundation. He accepted, hoping to dismantle it from within. With the help of the altered humans Eos and Zero, he hosted and participated in the fourth tournament to gather the Four Sacred Arms; powerful, mystical weapons based on the four symbols of the Chinese constellations.

REVIEW:
Eiji is a fairly generic design in a way, and slightly favors Ryu in several ways, but he was a pretty decent hero design for the series... And I must admit his "older" white hair version in Toshinden 4 is pretty badass. He could be more fleshed out as a design, but Eiji's not that bad.
