Tachibana Akira

Age: 38

Originally a trainer for professional kickboxing, a severe calf injury forced him to retire. Instead of brooding over the glory days, he had started his next job as a teacher for pluses on his wife’s recommendation, moving to the city of Hinan-sho for an open spot and has been teaching classes ever since then. He walks around with a crutch that he doesn’t entirely need anymore, but keeps with him to remind himself that even the strongest can be brought down.
