Biography: Shinji was born on a caravan when being rushed to the hospital to be born, in failure the pregnancy had to be done there and now killing his mother in the process, shortly thereafter a band of unhonorful Ronin attacked and raided the caravan. Both his father and him were the only survivors which were taken prisoner by the dirty Ronin. Having to spend his infant years in capture of mercenary ninja and samurai, he was eventually rescued by the Iga clan which took him as one of their own, sadly his father was taken as a hostage and killed. Though despite his sad past, the Iga clan taught the young boy Ninjutsu and skills of which Ninja use, having to spar against older ninja and had to endure painful cuts and bruises. 

At the age of fifteen he was officially given the rank as a Ninja and set out to South-Eastern Asia to learn more about unarmed combat, which included Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and China. Spending twelve allowed years in Asia while completing duties in Japan, he learned different fighting styles from various villages and towns in the area. These styles to name a couple were Kali and Silat, which greatly improved his weapon and unarmed combat. At twenty-six, having mastered these arts in a very short period of time he began to take on more and more duties to please the Iga. At the time where they planned on joining with the Matsudaira, Shinji met Hanzo Hattori, a master ninja of the Iga, in service to Ieyasu Tokugawa. The both of them talked to each other over a cup of tea and shared their philosophies which weren't too far apart, thus bonding into friendship despite Hanzo's dark attitude. Hanzo offered to train Shinji's skills even further, which he can proudly say he studied under the Great Ninja Hanzo Hattori.

 Eventually, Shinji was assigned to be one of the ninja who would protect the Matsudaira clan by night constantly as the Iga clan were confident of his abilities, as was Shinji. After a year at the age of twenty-eight, he continues his assignment having only needing to use his skills a few times which upset hit the slightest bit. In honest, Shinji wishes to do something greater than to guard a household by night, he wishes to become a personal bodyguard of the Matsudaira, which he very well deserves.

Relationship: A friend of Hanzo Hattori, a ninja of the Iga in service to Ieyasu Tokugawa. Trained under him as an apprentice for a while.
