Sketch

My Character’s name is Tokuda Dai, which means Big and Great in Japanese. He was found in front of someone's doorstep. He was raised well and became a great man, always helping someone out. There was always this gang that jumped him and took his money, so he took boxing classes and became real strong. He was born with a straw hat and never took it off since it was passed on from his grandfather who was a great warrior back in his days. One day, he was out walking, looking forward to help some people out and make money, when the gang pressed him again, but this time Tokuda was prepared, and didn't hold back! He fought the whole gang by himself and won! They all got scared and ran away. They never tried doing anything to him until Oni, the gang boss, found out what happened and he wasn't happy, so he went looking for Tokuda to get his revenge and show him no mercy. Oni found Tokukda and beat him up badly at first, but then out of nowhere Tokukda heard a voice in his head. It was his grandfather telling him a secret technique that was passed on from his ancestors. He mastered it right away and beat Oni with no difficulty. After that, no one ever tried messing with Tokuda, and he lived a happy life ever after as a warrior.
