Backpack Briefcase Contents:

• His wallet
  
• Several contracts and legal documents
• An umbrella
• A small book of Buddhist tales

Personality: Intimidatingly stern and rarely smiling. That would be someone’s first impression upon meeting Yoshimitsu Himura, a man whose larger than life stature is backed by a stiff body language and a steadfast resolve. Yet, he is usually soft-spoken and unfailingly polite in his daily interactions, keeping to himself and rarely talking about the past. He only gets truly angry if he sees the weak or downtrodden getting abused. God help you if you ever threaten his family in particular, because that is when he will be forced to unleash the wild beast hidden behind the guise of a gentle, if a bit cranky giant.

Yoshimitsu is very traditional, almost always wearing robes, enjoying tea ceremonies and stubbornly refusing to use a laptop or a cell phone. Recently, he has embraced the Buddhist faith, despite his family traditionally following Shintoism. While he admits that he is “too old” to achieve Buddhahood, he is making an honest effort to adapt to a more peaceful and compassionate way of life, quelling the rage within via daily prayer, exercise and vegetarian eating.



FaceClaim: TEKKEN • Heihachi Mishima • Yoshimitsu Himura

Personal History: Despite being raised during Japan’s post-World War II economic boom, Yoshimitsu Himura hailed from a poor household, so he did not enjoy many luxuries in his childhood. As a young adult, he began working at a steel mill to support his family financially, but he soon found a more profitable line of work - the Yakuza. Slowly but surely climbing his way up from the bottom of the ladder, he built up a fearsome reputation in Kobe’s underworld, being given the nickname Kyojin - meaning “giant” - due to his imposing height and physique. Several years later, he had amassed a decent fortune from his time with them, enough so that he could finally distance himself from their more illegitimate activities and focus on starting a family of his own.

His son, Yori Himura, followed in his footsteps by joining the Yakuza himself. The two eventually got into a big argument when Yoshimitsu did not approve of the woman that Yori wanted to marry. Following the birth of his granddaughter, Yuko Himura, an attempt to patch things up with his son was made, but it was unsuccessful. They maintained an estranged relationship all the way until Yori’s tragic death in a gang-related attack, an incident that spurred Yoshimitsu to cut his remaining ties with the Yakuza.

Presently, the former “Giant” resides in Shibuya, where he runs a legitimate real estate business in his old age. Intent on turning a new leaf and leaving his dark past behind, he has recently embraced Buddhism, its precepts and its philosophies. Having failed his role as a father in his own eyes, he hopes to grow closer to his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter, and be a part of their life.

Digimon Name: Shinchuu
Default Form: Rookie
Gender: Male
Alignment: True Neutral

Personality: Quiet and reserved, this shy Digimon usually keeps to himself and avoids interacting with strangers. He is highly curious of things he has never seen or heard of before, especially if they relate to the human world, but is also reluctant to step out of his comfort zone too much. Forming a connection with others is difficult, almost as if he is afraid that people will not like him or that he will hurt them. At the same time, a display of genuine kindness is often all it takes to win him over. He will return that kindness tenfold, and protect said person with his life.

As a weak Wormmon, he avoids confrontation and fights with other Digimon, but when driven into a corner, he fights back almost as if on instinct, displaying great ferocity even in his Rookie stage. Since his current reincarnation is fairly recent, he has no recollection of his past life, but given his ferociousness, he might have once been one of the many savage “wild ones” inhabiting the Digital World’s jungles.
