## Biography

### **Background**

Koba was born in a swordsman clan at a far rural winter village. The clan is exclusive to children only, as due to their lack of recognition and separation from the world, Koba's clan is not well known across the world, making the clan member's abilities above average in swordsmanship. Koba was considered a bastard child since his mother fell in love with his father, who was not part of the clan. Koba was being mistreated while growing up in his village. As he grew up, Koba's wish was to become a powerful swordsman, in order to earn the respect of his fellow clan members despite his family background.

After growing up, Koba left his village for unknown reasons. At some point, he was meditating on a hilltop while overlooking a city. Koba would then sense a high power level, so he masks his ki, only to be found by Fernando, who was trying to find Koba after sensing his ki disappear. Interested in Koba's power, Fernando chooses to battle him. After their fight, Koba was able to impress Fernando, eventually getting along and becoming friends.
