(LAST UPDATE: 8/22/2009)

GENERAL/STORY:
He had trained his younger brother Eiji and his friend Kayin Amoh in sword fighting, however, he eventually abandoned the pair. He then traveled the world as a lone warrior and became infamous for mercilessly defeating any other fighters rumored to have potential, among these being Kayin's father, who he killed. 

When the first Toshinden tournament was announced, he secretly entered the event and encountered Cupido, a woman from the Secret Society. They fell in love and eventually had a son together, named Subaru. After the events of the third tournament, where Eiji had destroyed the Organization and its leader Abel, Sho finally faced his brother and left Subaru in his care. However, he then disappeared immediately afterwards once again.

REVIEW:
Any "hidden" character in a fighting game usually gets default "cool points" just for being the hidden character... This held true in Sho's case as well. He was a pretty cool design overall with some equally cool moves, though his default color scheme is a bit odd... He kinda doesn't match. Hehe.
