Description

Personality

Chujin is a very wise and honorable man. He has taught millions of martial artists in his long life, and each of them has been great in that area. The last two classes he taught were the ones with Harris and Machiba. Both were great students, but Chujin could sense Machiba's ambitions, and made Ethan his heir instead. Machiba left soon after that, and Chujin feels partially responsible for the evil acts his former student has committed since that day. He is a funny man, and uses humor to drive home points that traditional wisdom cannot. He still keeps in contact with Ethan via letters.

History

Chujin Gitei, real name Danpachi Shiratori, was a martial arts student as a youth. He rose up in the ranks, and eventually established the Godka style of martial arts when he was twenty years old. He met and became close friends with Ethan Harris when he left the States to study abroad. After years of study, Chujin passed the Sacred Scroll of Mastery to Ethan, making him the new heir of the style. Nonetheless, Chujin continues to teach the style at the Temple of Panka in Thailand. His new name sums up his character completely:

"Chu", stands for Loyalty

"Jin", stands for Justice

"Gi", stands for Duty

"Tei", stands for Brotherhood

When Ethan arrived at his temple for additional training and understanding, Chujin taught him what he wanted to know and granted him the Ultimate Godka Technique. He had Ethan strike him with it to prove his proficiency, and promoted Ethan to Grand Master. He then ascended to heaven, where he took his place among the gods. Chujin still shares his wisdom with his heir through the Ki that encircles Earth.
