Description

Personality

Junichi Machiba is an unpleasant and downright evil individual. He has no qualms about cheating to win, and in fact, does it quite frequently. Aside from his cheating nature, he is wild and bloodthirsty, and goes straight for the jugular in every fight. He is incredibly egotistical and selfish, caring nothing for anything but himself. Nearly amoral, he believes only those who are willing to completely dehumanize their opponents ever have a shot at being the best. However, Machiba has not completely lost his honor, nor has he lost the goodness that used to inhabit his soul before his anger and jeaousy tainted it.

Equipment

Junichi carries no equipment with him.

History

Junichi Machiba entered the martial arts at age ten. Showing proficiency in every martial art that he undertook, Machiba eventually received an invitation from Chujin Gitei to train at the Temple of Panka, or Godka. He went there, and was his best student before the arrival of Ethan Harris. He treated him as a friendly rival, however, this relationship soured when Ethan was chosen to be the heir of the style instead of him. Driven over the edge by jealousy and rage, he left the Temple forever. While he was gone, he established his own derivative style, known as Godka Maru, with more emphasis on destruction.

Months later, Machiba tracked Ethan down in Roppongi, Tokyo, and challenged him to a death match. When Harris left Roppongi, Machiba destroyed half of it. He then tormented Ethan's friend Jay, and Jay's cousin Clyde by sealing off their Ki and beating Clyde senseless. Machiba still awaits Ethan's arrival in Roppongi, where he hopes to finally settle things between them for good.
