He is one of Toshinden's 2 all-rounders, having no advantages or disadvantages compared to the other fighters. Eiji's attack power, speed, and endurance are the standard by which all of the other fighters abilities are measured. In this respect, Eiji is often compared to Ryu (Street Fighter)


STORY


Eiji and his best friend and rival, Kayin Amoh , were both trained from a very young age in the ways of the sword by Eiji's older brother Sho Shinjo . One day, however, Sho simply vanished, leaving Eiji and Kayin behind. As Eiji's skills grew, so did his desire to find his lost brother, and before long Eiji left in search of Sho. Along Eiji's travels, he fought and defeated a man by the name of Duke B. Rambert . Unknown to both of them, they would meet again many times over. Eventually, word reached Eiji of a tournament known as the ''Toushindaibukai'', which was to include the best warriors the from across the globe, Duke and Eiji's old rival Kayin Amoh among them. Eiji enters the tournament in hopes of finding his brother Sho there. After defeating opponent after opponent, Eiji eventually faced Gaia, who was holding the tournament illegally. The rightful holders of the tournament, however, intervened, denying Eiji victory. He was not to be disappointed though, as Sho indeed appeared before Eiji. Needless to say, Eiji was ecstatic that he had finally found his brother, but Sho had changed into a heartless loner. In a flash, the fight was over, and Eiji had lost pathetically. Sho, however, gave Eiji one final look and vanished once again. Eiji took a vow; to continually sharpen his swordfighting skills and defeat Sho when next they met.
