Hayato Kurogane

Hayato Kurogane doesn’t fight for fame — he fights because the streets demand it. Raised in the industrial district of East Shinonome, he was left to fend for himself after his older brother disappeared during a corporate riot crackdown. Trained by a retired dojo master and hardened by alley brawls, Hayato turned his pain into precision — becoming a local legend in the back-alley tournaments of the underground circuit.

He wears a sleeveless hoodie to honor his brother, and his gloves never come off — a reminder of the fists he swore would never be idle again.

Despite his intimidating presence, Hayato is known to protect the weak, break up gang turf wars, and vanish before anyone can say “thank you.” Rumors say he’s part of a vigilante cell, but no one can confirm it — except maybe the graffiti that marks where he’s fought: a silent tag in red, shaped like a falcon.

“I don't fight to win. I fight so they don’t have to.”
