AZURE JIRO

Orphaned as a child, Jiro was taken in by Sensei Kenzo Takahashi at his Arashiyama Bamboo Grove dojo in Kyoto. He trained side by side with Hanzo — thousands of hours of shared katas, shared bruises, shared silence. Jiro mastered Ryūsui-ken — 'flowing water fist' — the patient half of the dojo's twin arts, combining precision striking, shuriken throws, and silent infiltration. Where Hanzo is the hammer, Jiro is the tide. Cold-headed where Crimson is hot, he is the strategist of the pair. They walk together now, toward the man who signed the order that burned the monastery: Lee Kia.
