## Lore

Giovanni was born on October 18, 1910 in Brooklyn, New York. He was born to a long line of proud waiters and the expectation to be a waiter was placed on him from a very young age. Through sheer luck or maybe inheritance, he was extremely good as a waiter. However, he was not very happy as a waiter. He also had an interest in swords ever since he was little, but was not allowed to pursue that interest until his later life.

When he was in his late teens, Giovanni decided to move from Brooklyn to Paris, France. He wanted to get away from the pressure of his family and he heard that the best restaurants ever were in Paris. After a few years in Paris, he found himself working for Mister Han at Mister Han's Chinese Restaurant. His employment there was brief as Giuseppi's tirades became unbearable.

After quitting, he decided to take a break from being a waiter and use his savings to explore his interest of swords. He soon picked up fencing and became quite good at it. To his great surprise, he was not only good with swords - he was amazing with them. He mastered fencing in only a year and a half. To his great joy, he would no longer need to be a waiter, he could study the blade full time.

After mastering fencing, Giovanni only hungered for more styles. He moved to Japan to study their styles of swordsmanship and eventually decided to stay there. He would go on to master 18 styles of sword fighting in his lifetime and become famous in Japan for his mastery.

On one morning in 1959, while watching a sunrise, he felt a burst of "divine inspiration" and invented his own sword fighting style. This style soon proved to be equally, if not more, formidable than the other styles he learned. Giovanni would go on to open up his own school of the blade. This school went on to become very successful and soon many people were using his new style of sword fighting.

In his later years, Giovanni came to respect Giuseppi, after all, he was the one who gave him the shove he needed to walk down this path. He would often wonder how both Mister Han and Giuseppi were doing and wished them both well.
