## Background

Much of Shun's background is a mystery. He became a sumiguza at some point in his life, becoming the manager of Club Nighthawk. He took an interest in furry fighting, becoming the manager of the Cyclone Crushers. In 1995, Freydar agreed to become a trainer for his Combagals if he bought the Fortune Gals and destroyed Cookie's chance of making a comeback.

Shun met Cookie at her office and offered her a briefcase full of money to buy her Fortune Gals. Having lost her foresight, and thinking that her Combagals were going to leave her for what happened to Freydar, Cookie agreed. Shun integrated the Fortune Gals he bought into the Cyclone Crushers, making them work as hostesses at his club. When a drunken Cookie makes a scene upon stumbling into Club Nighthawk, Shun threw money at her feet, telling her that she's free to keep it if she leaves his club.

A few months before the start of the comic, Shun met Nyarai and integrated her into the Cyclone Crushers, promising to make a better world for Wilds. Knowing that Cookie will make a comeback soon, Shun ordered Nyarai to hire Cookie as her manager to sabotage Cookie's return, promising to give Nyarai a debut that will help her make an impact in Botaun.

## History

### Act 1

#### Part 1

##### Managing Club Nighthawk

Shun makes his first appearance when he stops an altercation between Nyarai and a perverted hippo customer. He informs the hippo that he disobeyed the code of conduct by touching one of his hostesses, so he must pay the bill and leave. The hippo throws money at Shun's face, believing that he just needs to bribe him. Shun assumes a cold expression, telling the hippo that nobody can save him now before giving Nyarai permission to beat him up.

After Nyarai disposes of the client, Shun takes offense when Nyarai makes a misandrist comment, pointing out that not all men are like that. The two share a conversation where Nyarai complains about working as a hostess, wanting to have her debut match soon. Shun promises Nyarai that she will make her debut when Cookie makes her return to furry fighting, promising that Nyarai will be the start of the match.

#### Part 2

##### Forming Team Firestorm

Prior to the Masato Match, Shun met with Dinedon, bribing him with enough money to afford a retirement for his help in manipulating the Masato Match to his advantage. He also bribed Miho Barkowitz for her help in seducing Adelgund to ensure Peki Polight will betray her in the upcoming match.

When Nyarai and Peki are about to fight at the Masato Match, Shun interrupts them before either could throw the first blow. He says that Wilds shouldn't focus on fighting each other when they should fight their true enemy: Cookie for corrupting the spirit of furry fighting, and Adelgund and Dinedon for participating in her plan. Adelgund tries to send the Exe-Cutie-Ves to arrest Shun, but the Cyclone Crushers act as his bodyguards. He then uses a recording tape that Nyarai used to play incriminating evidence against Cookie, Dinedon, and Adelgund.

Having successfully turned the crowd against Cookie, Shun proposes Nyarai and Peki to form a tag team and punish their former partners. Seeing her chance, Nyarai rips off her furry fighting outfit, revealing her true battle outfit as a member of the Cyclone Crushers. She then successfully convinces Peki by telling her that Shun is the only person who cares about Wilds. After Peki quits Team Executor, Shun dubs the new tag team as Team Firestorm.

Nyarai easily defeats Muko thanks to her greater fighting experience and Shun bribing the referee to give her the right to brutalize Muko. When Adelgund knocks Nyarai out with a well-placed knee strike, Shun refuses to let her have medical attention, knowing that Nyarai will recover. When Adelgund gets the upper hand on Peki thanks to outside interference of the Exe-Cutie-Ves, Shun tells Ceila that they don't need to cheat by intervening. Shun later watches stoically as Adelgund defeats Peki and brutalizes her, which awakens Nyarai to tag in to the match. He then gives Ceila permission to leave the arena to take Peki to the hospital while he sees the rest of the match.

##### Crowning The New Masato Match

After Nyarai tags into the match, Shun watches stoically and doesn't react when Nyarai breaks her own spine to escape the hold. He smiles confidently when Nyarai prepares to use her kick fighting style, being the only person who knew of her fighting skills. After Nyarai defeats Adelgund, Shun enters the ring, exchanging a glance with a furious Cookie. He then declares Nyarai the new Masato Champion, telling her that she's the new hero of the story, which amuses Nyarai.

In the aftermath of the match, Muko angrily confronts Dinedon, calling him out for betraying her. Dinedon reveals that Shun bribed him and compliments him for making a storyline where the Wilds were the heroes, much to Cookie's indignation as Shun stole her idea for his own benefit. Shun then meets Miho Barkowitz, paying her for seducing Adelgund and praising her for doing a good job.

#### Part 3

##### Slandering Muko and Cookie

Shun doesn't make much of an appearance in the first chapters of Part 3. Shun is mentioned by Muko when she tries to use the money he gave Cookie to pay Kalita the loan she made. He appears in an imagination of Cookie alongside Nyarai and the Cyclone Crushers as one of the obstacles Muko needs to overcome. While not shown, Shun hired Miho Barkowitz to ruin Muko's reputation by investigating her past and have Mr. Dings edit it to make her look like a sex offender.

##### Dealing With Freydar

After Kalita joins Muko and Cookie, Shun is confronted by Freydar at the Ruby Tower. She accuses Shun of betraying her since Cookie still made her return. Shun assures Freydar that Cookie's return is going to be prevented since he's planning on destroying her reputation further. Freydar punches a hole into a window, telling Shun that she will try things her way. Shun glares defiantly as Freydar turns around, announcing her decision to end Cookie. Shun smiles as he realizes that Freydar will make her return.

Shun makes a surprise appearance at the Tendonchi Challenges Recap Show, stopping Freydar from challenging Cookie. When Freydar insists on fighting Muko and Kalita, Shun reminds her of her doctor's orders. After exchanging glares, Freydar relents, declaring that she will train two Combagals to bear Muko and Kalita, promising to drive them away if they lose.

With Freydar's challenge declared, Shun returned to Club Nighthawk to work as a manager. He meets Mellow and leads him to meet Nyarai. He then has to leave to give Mellow wine for his time with Nyarai, which Nyarai exploits to bully Mellow in secret.

#### Part 4

##### Meeting Kalita At Yoko Orphanage

During the month before the fight with Freydar, Shun visits Yoko Orphanage. He meets Fidah and gives her a taiyaki cake, much to Kalita's concern. Kalita got Fidah away from Shun and demanded to know what he was doing at the orphange. Shun acknowledges that Kalita is now strong enough to defeat the Tendonchi Champions. As such, he asks Kalita to lose the Cookie Crumble Match.

Kalita mentions that she intends to win, only for Shun to remind her that, even if she win, she will get arrested for her crimes as a member of the Roda Kira Gang as soon as she turns eighteen. He also offers to buy Yoko Orphanage to save it from debt if Kalita agrees to lose. Enraged at the blackmailing, Kalita attacks Shun with a kick, which causes Shun to throw her away from him. Before the fight can escalate, Shun defuses the situation and leaves, warning Kalita not to win unless she wants to bring the end of the world.

##### Witnessing the Cookie Crumble Match

During the Cookie Crumble Match, Shun sees Muko and Kalita fighting against Nyarai from the VIP section. Shun is visually disappointed at Kalita fighitng against Nyarai, particularly when she chooses to save Muko from Nyarai's final technique. The sumiguza leaves his room after Nyarai is defeated and Freydar brings Sephario. He reaches the ring once Sephario defeats Muko to have a conversation with Cookie as Kalita fights Sephario.

Cookie taunts Shun because he allowed her to achieve her redemption by bringing back Sephario. However, Shun points out that this is part of a long scale plan. He tells Cookie that he stole her hindsight two years ago and that he was going to give her back to her when he clapped his hands to show her the future that he sees. Upon clapping his hands, Cookie sees how defeating Sephario will result in a series of events that will result in a war between Kalandesia and Concatta.

As Sephario is on the verge of defeating Kalita, Cookie tells him that Sephario is still considered the biggest Heel of furry fighting, so her victory won't be appreciated. Shun then intrudes into the stage to clear up Sephario's name, pointing out that she lived in Concatta and was unfairly punished for the events of Trilmaity Day because the people wanted a scapegoat against Kalandesians, mentioning how Sephario lost her eye by saving her Combagals when her agency was burned down by fanatics. He then leads the people of Botaun to sing the anthem of Concatta in order to make Sephario a hero.

Realizing that Sephario was redeemed, and that her own desire for redemption endangered her Combagals, Cookie tells Kalita to surrender. Submitting to her injuries, Kalita gives up, ultimately giving the victory to Sephario.

##### Fulfilling The Bargain

Shortly after the Cookie Crumble Match, Shun bought Yoko Orphanage to save it from bankrupt. Though Kalita intended to win, Shun still saved the orphanage because she technically fulfilled her end of the bargain when she was defeated by Sephario. Shun then tasked the Cyclone Crushers to take shifts babysitting the orphans. He made sure to tell Cookie to inform Kalita that he fulfilled his promise.
