Name: Kinji Takigawa
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: The Shining Star!
STAR NINGER!World of Origin: Super Sentai
Personality: Kinji's family, being monster hunters, hunt monsters to become stronger. He even takes pictures and footprints of any monsters he comes across. Ever since Kinji learned of Yoshitaka was a Ninja, Kinji has become a fanboy of all things related to ninjas and Youkai. He's definitely an odd duck- orders to assassinate people won't stop him from being friends with them, making them huge breakfasts, and then trying to ambush them by jumping out of a cookie tin later. He's extremely friendly, if a bit hyperactive.
History:Kinji's family, since the days of the old west, has hunted monsters. So it should come as no surprise that, when Kinji was only a child, his father and brother met their demise at the hands of a werewolf when they forgot to pack silver bullets. Kinji sought out a legendary warrior who was in the states at the time- Yoshitaka Igasaki, the Last Ninja who sealed the feudal lord Kibaoni Gengetsu after his resurrection as a yokai. Kinji begged the ninja to train him so he could avenge his family, but the Last Ninja said he lacked "Nintality"- the true mindset of a ninja. Kinji was relentless, however, and the Last Ninja eventually agreed to train the boy- if Kinji could defeat him in battle. Yoshitaka thought this would deter the boy, who would consider it an impossible task...
...Instead, however, Kinji chased him around the world for a decade, eventually tracking him to Japan, where he came into conflict with Igasaki's grandchildren, the Shuriken Sentai: Ninninger. At first, he was more than happy to join their crusade against Kibaoni's army of yokai... but Yoshitaka had other plans. He charged Kinji with the assassination of his grandchildren within a month, hoping that they would clash and grow as ninjas and people. This fell through, however, as Kinji's repeated assassination attempts (and friendly breakfasts) were stymied by the international date line. Kinji, having failed, decided to take a vacation in Hawaii.
After returning to aid in a monster battle, he joined the Igasaki school officially, trained alongside them, and helped them defeat the Kibaoni forces. The Ninningers clashed, grew, changed, and became better than they were... and decided to go their separate ways and train for a few years before reconvening to choose the next to carry the title of Last Ninja. Kinji's continued monster hunting as he travels the world, selling oden using ninja techniques to spice up the presentation to support himself.
Abilities:-
Shuriken Ninpo: the fine art of
merchandise-based ninjutsu. Though Kinji is capable of highly advanced techniques, he's self-taught, so many of the basics- such as the five-element techniques- give him trouble. He's capable of pulling the cloning, hurricane, and lightning techniques with ease, however.
Equipment:
-
Ninja StarBurger: A cell phone, shuriken holder, camera, and detector of mythical creatures. It's also his morpher.
-
Star Sword-Gun: A combination electric guitar, rifle, and sword, this is Kinji's signature weapon. Allows him to use his offensive Nin Shuriken.
-
Nin Shuriken: there are some techniques that just need
merchandise a little help.
--Furai Nin Shuriken: Kinji's dual-element shuriken allows him to use wind and lightning techniques- ranging from simple attacks to combinations like his finishing moves, Hurricane Fury Slashes and Rock N' Roll Thunder.
--Otomo Nin Shuriken: These shuriken allow Kinji to summon one of three Ninja Allies, giant robots which are capable of combination: the humanoid
Rodeomaru, the
Bison Buggy, and the transforming
submarine, Surfermaru. Combining Bison Buggy with Rodeomaru or Surfermaru allows it to turn into his Megazord,
