Japanese daimyo and samurai warlord.
His katana's name is Akumaheika ("Demonic Majesty"). It is a simple katana with a rectangular bamboo cross guard. It has two abilities though. One of them transforms it into a three-section naginata.
The other is pretty unique. It is called Akuma No YΕna Heika No KaihΕ ("Releasing of The Demonic Majesty"). It makes the weapon transform from a sectioned naginata into three over-sized weapons which are all connected by a chain. He holds both an over-sized Monk's Spade and an over-sized Guan Dao. On his back, there is a giant axe blade with a dragon crest. He does not use it unless he knows he will lose. It uses up so much energy though, that after the fight, he tends to collapse or go into unconsciousness.
Tsunoda Ryo was born in Japan in 1508 AD. His father, Tsunoda Ryusake, was a Daimyo in Hokkaido. When Ryo was 17, he killed his father and claimed himself to be the new Daimyo and the head of Clan Tsunoda. With that, he also became candidate for the Ultimate Showdown combatant. He joined the tournament for the first time when he was 24. It was tournament number eight. He lost in the third round but managed to keep his life. He then joined three years later in tournament 11. Now, he is 27 and ready to take on anything with his new katana, Akumaheika. He is prepared fo the hardest thing in his life.
