## Background

### **Early Life**

Little is known about Shiryu's childhood but at some point he was adopted by Mitsumasa Kido and under the care of the Graad Foundation, he was trained with 99 other orphans. After a few years there was eventually a raffle that would reveal where each of the 100 children would be sent to receive further training in order to earn an cloth and become a saint.

In Shiryu's drawing of the raffle, he was sent to train at the Five Ancient Peaks of Lushan, China, where he would be trained by the Gold Saint Dohko. Also known as the Old Master. After six years of intense training, Shiryu finally managed to pass the final test of reversing the waterfall of the Five Peaks and earn the Dragon Cloth.

## Abilities

During his training in Lushan, Shiryu had awakened his Cosmo and learned many fighting styles as well as fundamental wisdom from his master, Libra Dohko, some of his name techniques are:

* **Rozan Shō Ryū Ha** also known as **"Lushan Rising Dragon Lord"**, Shiryu intensifies his **cosmos** and gives an upward blow be it punch or kick. The upward release of energy is comparable to the image of a majestic dragon rising towards the sky. A breath and drag violently hitting the opponent rose into the air with the image of a dragon devouring the opponent; Sometimes the attack is not completely vertical as when it slightly rotates around it's prey, However Unlike the techniques of the other Bronze Saints, Shiryu's Rising Dragon does have one weakness—while performing the move, his heart will be left open for a millisecond, if he is hit in that weak-point this could stop his heart if hit.

* **Rozan Ryū Hi Shō** also known as **"Lushan Dragon Soar"**, An attack similar to Rozan Sho Ryu Ha, but in a horizontal forward rather than upward.

* **Rozan Hyaku Ryū Ha** also known as **"Lushan One Hundred Dragon Lords"**, Shiryu learned it from watching his master Dokho's battle, even though he was blind at that moment. Dokho told Shiryu that his kindness was his disadvantage but at the same time his advantage. As well as removing any regret, Shiryu transcended the heart weakness of Rozan Rising Dragon Force. Standing with legs apart and the palms of his hands facing the opponent, he erupts his cosmos as intensely as possible while throwing a horde of 100 Dragons towards the enemy who is destroyed by the devouring dragons.

* **Rozan Kō Ryū** **Ha** also known as **"Lushan High Dragon Lord"**, Shiryu burns his Cosmos to the limit before capturing his opponent from behind and pushing the limit of Rozan Shō Ryū Ha creating the Rozan Kō Ryū Ha, the upward force launching Shiryu, carrying his target, into the skies. The two continue to climb until their bodies are incinerated and pulverized by the friction of the atmosphere. A suicide move intending to take the user's opponent with them to death, the Rozan Kō Ryū Ha is known as a forbidden technique to Shiryu.
