*"HOW MANY WINS DO YOU HAVE? YOU TRASH!"*

 Isshiki is known for his raging and frustration to losing or when others get better results. He likes to trash talk other fighters, calling them 'trash,' reminding them of their failings or lesser performance. His rage is become a meme among his Dojo Members and other fighters in Japan.

While he claims not to have any friends, he has a very close group of people who he trusts, who include Tanaka Gozar. While he tends to bully people, he only bullies those who are all talk, and no bark. He only trash talks fighters, and considers non-fighters not worth the trouble.

His biggest rival, Tatsumi Sugonu, was the subject of his many rants. When he was injured and retired, Isshiki claimed to be the one who forced him to retirement. However, Isshiki later revealed that his anger and rant was because he missed Tatsumi is competition and believed that national competition wasn't fun any more without him.

## Abilities

### Kaishin: Iron Bone

Isshiki is Kaishin with an ability known as the Iron Bone. Isshiki's bones are considered are much stronger than other fighters, the Martial Gene floods his marrow. Iron Bone makes the marrow absorb more kinetic energy by making the bones shock resistant. The bones expand outward to protect organs. This makes Isshiki more resistant to strong attacks, capable of absorbing blows from most Saiyaman 2 level fighters. He is even capable of surviving the blow of Saiyaman 3 fighters. The biggest disadvantage is Isshiki is much slower in movement, due to his bones having more mass to absorb more. This makes Iron Bone a defensive Kaishin. Iron Bone also affects the entire body and not specific parts.

### Dragon Style

As a Black Dragons member, Isshiki practices the Dragon Style. With his Kaishin ability, Isshiki focuses on the non-aerial techniques, mastering the defensive ones. He holds a 4th Degree Black Belt.

### Jujitsu

In order to counter Tatsumi, Isshiki learned Japanese Jujitsu to use close combat and joint locks. His Iron Bone ability made it difficult for opponents to submit him.

### Fight Tactics

Isshiki is a defensive fighter, which complements his Kaishin ability. He tends to tire his opponents out and forcing them to use their strong attacks against his impenetrable defense. He then goes for close strikes and submissions. Isshiki's frustration makes him go aggressive. His slow speed doesn't give him a lot of options to attack, especially against opponents known for speed. Isshiki's defense is very good for team tournaments.
