Appearance[]
In Heroes Through Time, Kyoji wears a black mask and a black ninja robe, as well as a black belt. He has black eyes and blonde hair. He also wears black boots.
In The Portal Problem and IaLR stories, Kyoji's mask becomes cyan with a metal plate containing the yin yang symbol, and he wears a long-sleeved shirt of the same color. He also wears a flak jacket, a golden belt, dark blue pants, ninja fingerless gloves and black shoes.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Fridjitzu: Kyoji has full access to the abilities in the ice ninja tree, due to being an ice ninja. He can shoot ice blasts to freeze his opponents, for instance.
- Photokinesis: Kyoji can channel light attacks with his sword, though he does not have access to the full light elemental tree, for now.
Skills[]
- Swordfighting: Kyoji is proficient in fighting with swords, to the extent that he can even channel elemental attacks with it.
- Stealth: Kyoji is one of the stealthiest members of the Locked Room Gang, being able to sneak around undetected. Unlike most ninjas who rely on stealth, he does not rely too much on it as he can fight very well even when he is exposed.
Items[]
- Sword of Elementia (former): Kyoji used to carry the Sword of Elementia, powered and possessed by Hikari the Light Spirit. It has been shown to hold the power to restore the life of a deceased character at the cost of its destruction. Later, the Sword of Elementia has been permanently destroyed by Captain Dark Shell in Shadows of War.
- Sword of the Arctic Seas (current): Kyoji currently carries the Sword of the Arctic Seas, received as a present from Captain Red Shell for his birthday.
- Smoke Bombs: Kyoji can use smoke bombs to confuse his opponents and/or to escape hidden.
Relationships[]
Green Shadow[]
At first, Kyoji seems uncomfortable with Green Shadow's presence and mistakes her gang for spies. However, by the end of his debut episode, Kyoji regards Green Shadow as a good friend.
Bonk Choy[]
Kyoji is well-aware of Bonk Choy being his greatest fan, and as such he tries to play it cool in front of Bonk Choy. The two share a rather friendly relationship and have common interests in martial arts.
Re-Peat Moss[]
The two do not interact much, but Kyoji seems worried when Re-Peat Moss gets harmed.
Starcade[]
Kyoji was Starcade's mentor and caretaker when they were younger. To Starcade, he is very patient and caring, as in "The Frost Awakens", he immediately stops attacking when he realises that he was harming her. He too is overjoyed when reuniting with Starcade.
In Heroes of Echo Creek, it is later shown that their relationship has developed to the point that they have become a couple.
Shogo[]
Kyoji hated Shogo for his hunger of power and for the killing of his and Sakura's parents.
The Gemstones[]
Kyoji has a stable relationship with most of the gemstones. However, he does take time to get along with Red Ruby, who tend to disagree with his ideas often.
Akasha the Burning Shadow[]
Kyoji used to have a crush on Akasha when he was younger, until the time came when he killed Shogo the Warlord, who was Akasha's father. Since then, Akasha hates Kyoji and she decides to ambush him. At first, Kyoji did not fight back until Starcade became dragged into the fight. Kyoji then starts to turn against Akasha, and since then, the two become sworn enemies.
In The Return of the Warlord, Akasha stops seeking for revenge after discovering the truth that Shogo does not care for her the same way she does to him, and quits her villainy career, allowing for her and Kyoji to repair their friendship.
Takeshi[]
Kyoji and Takeshi are very good friends. Despite being the one responsible for kidnapping Kyoji in his sleep, Takeshi nonetheless shows his loyalty when he refuses to kill Kyoji as instructed by Akasha back when she was a villain, and decides to fight Akasha instead, resulting in his death. Kyoji later proceeds to sacrifice his sword to resurrect the latter, which proves the strong sense of loyalty both ninjas have with each other.
Sasuke[]
Kyoji and Sasuke did not have a good start for a relationship. Sasuke was at first obsessed with Sword of Elementia and fought Kyoji for it, only to be defeated by that very weapon later. He resorted to attacking Echo Creek in The Human Tsunami, stealing Akasha's Shadow Gauntlets and using them against the gang. Sasuke later realizes his mistakes after being defeated and Kyoji forgives him, causing the two to become good friends ever since.
Sakura[]
Kyoji and Sakura are siblings. They have been separated during the Japanese war, and after their parents were killed by Shogo, Kyoji goes to the Light Sensei and requests for him to take care of Sakura. As a result, Sakura thinks that Kyoji has fallen to Shogo as well and becomes a revenge seeker. Her first attempt failed, which resulted in her imprisonment.
Despite being freed later on by Takeshi, she executes a second attempt in taking revenge on Shogo's children. She fails again, but this time, she realizes that Kyoji is still alive and stops trying to seek revenge, assured that there is still hope for her family. Reunited, Kyoji and Sakura begin to love each other more than before.
Stats[]
Kyoji is a well-rounded character with above average stats. As a skilled ninja, stealth is his strongest stat thanks to his smoke bombs and an above average mobility stat that allows him to move around quickly.
While Kyoji usually tries to tackle an opponent stealthily, being exposed by his opponent is not enough to stop him. He has good intelligence and defense stats that can help him counter opponents easily and defend himself from their attacks. Combined with a high HP stat, Kyoji is not an easy opponent to defeat.
According to IaLR: Tier Lists - Ninjas, Ninjas Everywhere!, Kyoji is a high B tier character with high stats that allow him to easily take on the mid-tier characters and even a few high-tier characters on his own. Despite being an ice ninja, not even fire attacks, a typical ice ninja's main weakness, can do much to him as he can easily deal with such attacks before they hit him. He is definitely one of the stronger characters in the Locked Room Gang, along with Red Fork and a few others.
