[ HISTORY: ]
Kisho was born in the country known as America. His mother was black or African American while his father was from an Italian bloodline. Their relationship was not fully accepted by either of their families but true love can not be kept away from each other. Anywho, the two gave birth to Kisho unplanned that is. This would cause a stir in the two's loving relationship, creating stress and bitterness amongst them. Kisho's father was a pilot and his mother worked from home. Often as a child, Kisho would be taken on trips to other countries and places, thanks to his dad's job. He loved those trips, since most were by plane. Even at a young age, Kisho loved being in the sky especially when it was cloudy. To him clouds made the sky look like a surreal painting.
However one day, a clear day, Kisho was outside in his backyard playing with his dog. He was an only child and had few friends besides his dog Reno. Anywho, on this particular day, a phone call was received that would change his life forever. He was about 6 or 7 at the time when the airlines called his mother and reporting that his father died in a plane crash. Kisho was just as hurt as his mother was to find out. He could never forget the day and ever since could not look at clear skies the same. Something about clear skies was an omen to him.
Kisho's mother was in a rather depressed state for several years until she finally snapped out of it and decided to move to Japan. The move to Japan would be the beginning of a new chapter in Kisho's life. His mother continued her business however this time as part of a firm, the main reason for the move. Kisho would attend high school in Japan as the foreign student. Surprisingly he was well accepted by others, some could say he was quite popular. He was a good student, making good grades, and excelling in many sports. He was what people would call bi-social, accepted in two social crowds, the smart kids and the jocks.
Though Kisho loved what he did, he felt like there was something missing. One could ask how is there something missing in such a busy life like his. Well, there was his unsatisfied love of the arts. He held a passion for drawing, listening to music, and other things of the like. However one thing would come along and change his life forever. The coming of Air Treks would catch his attention and hold it more than anything ever had in his life. He was home watching TV when he saw the ad, during his Junior Year. He couldn't help but see the beauty behind the machine and the way people would ride. He had to have a pair.
Kisho would quickly find himself a job in a parts shop. He figured by working around them, he would learn as much as he could and be able to get a pair of his own at a good price. A very smart plan on his part, for he had his own pair within a month. Ever since then, Kisho had thrown A-T into his already long list of activities. However, they would begin to take up more of his time and attention than the other things, causing him to give those other activities up. He was able to retain everything learned in those other activities anyway.
So yeah Kisho would have now devoted most of his time to working in the parts shop and riding A-Ts. Being able to soar in the sky amongst the clouds was exhilarating for him. Though his feelings toward clear skies still lingered, but luckily just being able to ride A-Ts erased most of that, not affecting his riding and just his mood rather. Working in the store, he always kept an eye out for new parts but most of them were basic and general parts for casual riders. Yet Kisho knew there was more and better parts, he had seen them for himself.
One night of riding, Kisho got caught up riding with some people and they all headed to a Parts Wars battle. That was when he saw just how great A-T parts were. What he saw could not be bought at any public store, but in the underground. This is what caused Kisho to give up his job at the general Parts Shop and begin his riding in Parts Wars. He had never really participated unless in one on one battles for parts. The team scene was never really his thing then. By doing this, he started to find out where people were really getting their parts. There was an underground Parts shop with higher quality parts. Kisho would then practically beg the shop owner for a job. He would get it as someone who delivered the parts to riders or teams. By doing this he gained even more knowledge on A-Ts and how the parts functioned.
Ever since then Kisho has been a part of the A-T scene whole heartedly, especially after graduation. His dedication to his job got him a good pay so that he could live on his own, since his mother would kick him out after finding out what he wanted to do with his life. During the day, Kisho has a small job that he works from home with computers. He works out also, making sure to stay in shape by going to the gym and working on his kickboxing skills. Yet when night comes, you would most definitely find him riding or working in the shop.
[ FIGHTING STYLE: ] Kisho's style of fighting can be deemed as an assault, fast and precise like an assassin. He tends to pressure his opponents in areas they're not good at. His forte being close combat, due to his endurance and strength and skills in martial arts. Kisho likes to plot in non obvious ways during a battle, leading his opponents to think one thing for his benefit. This causes him to be play defense or long range at times, though not as well as he is at close combat. Though he believes if you do something long enough, you can fool anyone. Speed and agility is essential to his movements, he tries to keep them precise and flowing. He also tends to do sneak attacks, catching people off guard is something he's not afraid or shame of doing.

[ ROLEPLAY SAMPLE: ]
Kisho had appeared in front of the bookstore from some previous location not very far from here by use of shunpo. His black hooded jacket casting a shadow over his eyes, making him look rather mysterious. On his face was a rather sinister grin. Was he still affected by the bloodlust of trying to restrain himself in that fight before. He couldn't hold it back anymore. This changing in his personality, it was gonna happen. "Heh, I told you it wasn't over." a voice said in his head. So familiar. His hand came up to his face, then in a flash the hollow mask took form. Was this the return of Dante, his inner hollow? But how could that be, Kisho had defeated him for good. The truth is, Dante was defeated and Kisho was in control, but a part of him held on to Dante. Why? Because he related to him. Dante and Kisho were the same even though Dante was a bit colder and more sadistic, they shared the same qualities good and bad. So simply put, this voice Kisho wanted to call Dante was a figment of his imagination. Some would say a split personality.
After the mask formed, he would thrust a fist toward the somewhat small bookstore, opening once his arm was fully extended. "Vertigo" he would think in his head. A wave, like sound, blasted from his hand, rippling the air. This wave would hit the bookstore and shattering the windows and blasting off the entire front half of the store. All the glass and debris would travel along with the wave and its force in the direction opposite Kisho, threatening to kill everyone within. This wave would blast out to a distance of 30 meters, spanning to a size of 20 meters, and would hit Okugi and Ishiyama who were in front of the first row of bookshelves facing the entrance along the way. The two would be pushed backwards, along with everything else within the confines of the small building as the wave blasted through. Kisho did not know that those were two names nor did he really pay much attention to them outside of their obvious spiritual presence. An awakened human and a shinigami. Kisho was not intentionally targeting them in this initial force wave attack known as a technique he called Vertigo. However the fact that they two would be in danger of his first attack was a bonus for him or rather this alternate persona, Dante.
Kisho's opposite hand would not be idle as he released this force wave. His hand would be reaching for his zanpaktou, drawing it quickly. "Unleash the tempest, Itari" he would say as his blade changed form and moved through the motion from his sheath to be thrusted forward right behind the wave. The blade moved fast, glowing a green color, like a snake it would extend for Oguki's head and after piercing through it with the sharp wind aura that layered its edges, it would go for Ishiyama's heart. The blade did not have to travel in a straight path and was flexible and able enough to be guided in such a manner to go after Kisho's intended targets for this follow up attack. That was a good thing about the serpent or dragon, Itari. Its edges electrically charged as well, would cause numbing throughout the limb or body upon injury.
Kisho's spiritual presence would make a scary rise, causing trembling of his surroundings as he attacked. The nearby civilians, fortunate to not be in the path of his attack, all ran and screamed out of fear of what they could not see but only feel. All of them struggling to retain the strength to flee under the pressure of his reiatsu while donning his hollow mask and being in shikai. This was obviously not the normal Kisho who would refrain from such large notice. This was the new persona, Dante, who just wanted blood at this moment. He had been exposed to it for so long, not to long ago, it had messed with his mind. Two lives he refrained from taking, he now wanted to make up for it. And so he would with the two attacks he attempted.
