Kenji Tanaka is a master of discipline and strategy.

• For decades, he trained students in Kendo, the way of the sword, but now, traditional dojos are fading as fewer young people dedicate themselves to the art.
• His father and grandfather were warriors before him, and he believes in honor, respect, and wisdom passed down through generations.
• Technology and modern distractions frustrate him—he sees people obsessed with their phones rather than their spirit.
• One of his greatest regrets? The estranged relationship with his son, who left Kyoto for Tokyo to pursue a corporate career instead of following the family tradition.
• He discovered the game through one of his younger students and, at first, dismissed it as a waste of time.
• But then… he realized something.

The game is a battlefield.
A place where strategy, patience, and precision matter more than brute strength.
Now, he plays not for conquest, but to teach—just as he always has.

• Title: The Silent Blade
• Reputation: A master strategist who fights with precision, discipline, and honor.
• Tactics: Prefers stealth, timing, and flawless execution over chaotic warfare.
• Weaknesses: Rejects dishonorable tactics, refuses to break his code, struggles with adapting to modern game mechanics.

Shadow Crane is a legend among warriors.

• He does not strike first—but when he does, his attack is precise and final.
• He values honor above all else, refusing to exploit loopholes, deceive allies, or break his word.
• Many younger, power-hungry players mock him for his strict code.
• But those who have fought alongside him know his discipline and patience are unmatched.

Some say he is past his prime.
But those who have underestimated Shadow Crane…
Rarely live to make that mistake again.

For now, Shadow Crane remains a silent force in the kingdom, watching, waiting, teaching.
But if dishonor spreads too far, he will remind them all that even in the digital age… the sword is still mightier than the liar.
