Tomoki

Tomoki (トモキ), stylized as TOMOKI, is a character in Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho and its sequel, Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen. A karateka nicknamed the "Monster of the Karate World" (, Karate-kai no Monsutā), he was originally a university student who entered Dragon Heat to test his skills, where he became Tatsuya Ukyo's first opponent. By 2011, he quit pro fighting and became the leader of a street gang in Kamurocho. 
==Profile==
===Appearance===
Tomoki is a lean and muscular fighter with a shaved head and sharp cheeks. He also has a lip piercing.
In the TV serial, he has spiky black hair, a mustache and a slight goatee.
=== Attire ===
In Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho, his ring attire consists of red and white trunks with flame decals and point Karate match gloves colored black with red fingers. 
As a gang leader in Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen, he has a lip piercing and wears a red jacket with a longhorn skull sleeve emblem, white shirt, black pants, and red trainers.
===Personality===
Before fighting Tatsuya, Tomoki is cocky and confident in his skills, having entered Dragon Heat because other amateur fighters no longer posed any challenge.
After his pro-fighting career fails, he becomes jaded and resentful, blaming Tatsuya for his downfall and attacking him when he tries to leave. However, he does retain some mutual respect for Tatsuya, as he punishes one of his underlings for attacking Tatsuya after their fight is over.
==Background==
Tomoki joined Dragon Heat as a fourth-year student at Kurogakukan University, seeking to test his skills ahead of his debut as a pro fighter after graduation. By the time Tatsuya arrives at Dragon Heat, Tomoki had already won against five previous opponents, including knocking out a karate black belt with a single kick.
==Involvement==
===Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho: 2010===
After accidentally killing Naoki Toda, Tatsuya Ukyo is kidnapped by the Kuki Family and forced to fight Tomoki in Dragon Heat in exchange for his freedom. Prior to their match, Saki expresses doubt that Tatsuya can win, and the audience bets 8:2 in favor of Tomoki. 
Face-to-face, Tomoki claims that beating Tatsuya will be easier than a sparring match, and says he'll show Tatsuya what a 'real fighter' is like. After ultimately knocking out Tomoki with a kick to the head, Tatsuya is shocked to hear the crowd cheering his name, and muses that he enjoys the feeling.
Later, when Tatsuya reads a newspaper about Toda's death, another article mentions that Tomoki was defeated with a first-round knockout during his debut match as a pro fighter.
===Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen: 2011===
Two years later, Tomoki retired from the pro-fighting circuit after losing his sponsors and became the leader of a Kamurocho street gang. When Tatsuya returns to Kamurocho, Tomoki encounters him arguing with one of his gang members and demands a rematch, blaming Tatsuya for his bad fortune.
After he is defeated again, one of his underlings attacks Tatsuya, but Tomoki punches him to the ground and commends Tatsuya's skills. He mentions Asura operating in Kamurocho and warns Tatsuya against getting involved, and bids him farewell.
==Fighting Style==
=== Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho ===
Tomoki uses a variant of Karate that is far more unrefined and "street" than the orthodox, refined Karate that Tatsuya has access to. He relies primarily on kick combos, grabs, and ground strikes. He is the first enemy who can consistently Perfect Dodge to counter Tatsuya's attacks, and can also kick upwards while he is lying on the ground, discouraging pressure after being knocked down.
After entering Heat mode, Tomoki will strike a pose before charging forward with two punches, a kick, a third punch, and a lunging grab. If any part of the combo hits Tatsuya, Tomoki will force him into either of the Heat Actions "Armlock" or "Par Terre Knee Hell".
He has access to the deathblows Street Hook and Body Roundhouse.
=== Kurohyou 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Ashura-hen ===
Exactly the same as his Kurohyou appearance, with the deathblows Karate Thrust and Spin Kick.
