Ekiguchi Eiji | ||||||||
Boxing- | ||||||||
Known as the sweet science, this combat sport is descended from the ancient Greek style of fighting, featured in the Olympics. Although it has evolved into a high regulated spectator sport, most boxers still possess a high degree of skill in combat, due to their excellent conditioning and reliance on a few basic, effective techniques. Most critics would call Eiji a fighter, not a boxer. He doesn’t tend to move around a lot in a short fight. Instead he’ll take the hits until his opponent shows on opening. Then Eiji will unload on them, and with his great strength it is safe to say that his opponent will not be standing to long. In a longer fight Eiji tends to do the same thing until the hits start to take a toll on him. Then Eiji will cover up and move around a little more. |

History- | ||||||||
Eiji and his sister Hanako had a horrible childhood. Their father was a drunk and was kept from moving up in the company he worked for. Their mother was forced to work so the family could have enough money just to eat. Because of this the house was kept in poor shape and the company that Eiji’s father worked for forced the family out of the company housing to remove this embarrassment. Eiji’s school career suffered horribly because of his home life. He barely moved from grade to grade in elementary school. Eiji did just as poorly in middle school. Yet his parents did not care, his mom was to busy trying keep the family in an apartment and his father always had a bottle in his hand. Eiji’s school career hit rock bottom in high school. Since his family did not have the money to get their son a tutor he could not study well. Eiji did horrible on his high school entrance exams. So horrible in fact that only the worst school in Kyoto would accept him. It was here that Eiji started gaining size. He had always been tall but he started to put on muscle. During Eji’s second year in high school his sister Hanako was stricken with Leukemia. Since their parents couldn’t afford treatments by themselves Eiji quit school to take a job. He worked construction for a while by the jobs were few and far between. He couldn’t get a steady job because no one wanted to hire someone who didn’t finish high school. Eiji was desperate for a way to get money. Finally Eiji heard of underground boxing rings were one could make a lot of money so he got involved. He lost his first few matches but after he spent some time in the ring and the gym he started winning. No one could take his punches for very long. Tragedy struck Eiji. The money had started to come in to late and Hanako died from because of complications caused by her Leukemia. With this Eiji found a new reason to fight, it was a way to take out his frustration. On several occasions he almost killed his opponents. One day a man, Date Fujio, was scouting the fights. When he saw Eiji, Fujio talked him into join Toudou Academy. Fujio pulled some strings to get Eiji in. Now a 18 year old Eiji trains to be a better fighter. |
