-Personality: Katuso is an individual who was raised to be a fighter.  
His father, and grandfather were both warriors, both carried the 
Nodatchi he now carries.  He is proud of what he is, but not arrogant,
he respects his enemies, but there is little fear in him even when he
is fighting a group of enemies.
	He is serious when it comes to most things, often attempting to
puzzel things out when most people are loosing their heads.  Though 
lately, he has been having a great deal of trouble--he has no 
experience with the high-end technology of the modern day.
	He is usually friendly, though he is very hard to get along 
with most of the time, taking serious threats too lightly, and moving
faster than a comfortable pace on some things.
	He has a somewhat odd outlook on life, for a fighter at least.
While most would expect him to be an oaf, as is the stereotypical view
of fighters, he is almost a scholar on the subjects of philosophy and
tactics.  
	He prides himself on his fighting ability, while more than able
to make short work of any street thug that decides to come after him, 
he is cultivating a style of fighting centering around the Euphoric 
"Rush" that sometimes experiences when he is winning greatly or loosing
horribly.
	"Kuso" is a nickname his father gave to him in training, mostly
to spite him, but he accepts it as a badge if honor.
	He respects all people with skills that he does not have, but
by no means does this mean he will be friendly to them.
	Katuso is a quick learner, absorbing whatever he can, and often
implementing it into his fighitng if possible, and if not, it sits in 
the back of his head for a long time.

-History:  He was born to a large familly in a small culture of the 
island-continent east of Aquavy, his father being a fighter, his 
grandfather being a fighter, so on and so forth, He began working with 
swords (Especially Katanas) at age Eleven, and could handle a nodatchi 
at age fifteen.
	The group he was born into had relatively no technological 
experience and as much with Ether, but they could fight, on a good day
one could stand toe-to-toe with nearly any opponent on foot.  But he 
hasn't gotten that far, yet.  
	Katuso started training with his father when he was eight, 
first entering a fighter's tournament at thirteen, and reaching second-
place.  By seventeen, he was a champion, even among his peers. 
	On the eve of an important tournament, his father disappeared,
and Katuso dropped out to hunt for him.  By the third day there was no 
sign.
	Reasoning that he was not around the village, Kuso left.  
Before doing so, though, he was given his grandfather's Nodatchi, as a
blessing.
