Shumei Kano

==Summary==
Shumei Kano is a fictional character from the anime and manga series Baki the Grappler.
Shumei Kano is eloquent and brilliant. This can be seen in his speeches and conversations. He is also a greatly calm and controlled person, but he can also be provocative and malicious, as can be seen during his encounter with Kanji Igari.
Kano is very confident of his skills. It can be said that to some extent he is even conceited. As a result, he was very surprised when Baki Hanma easily managed to deal with his style of fighting.
He is Tokugawa's strongest bodyguard.

*Shodan: In truth, Shodan is just mere straight punch. It is only distinguished by the fact that Shumei Kano calls that punch by the name of "Shodan". That name probably comes from the first black belt title in Japanese martial arts, but it's written with another kanji.
