The year is 1986, the place Yokosuka, Japan. The normally tranquil day-to-day life of Sonic Hezuki is suddenly and irrecoverably shattered by unwanted visitors. A man wearing dark green Chinese clothes appears at the Hezuki family home. This man uses a powerful style of martial arts, the likes of which Sonic has never before seen, to engage his father Hewao in a fierce battle. The man threatens to kill Sonic. Having no other recourse, Hewao reluctantly tells him where the mysterious mirror is.

Once this mysterious object is in the man's possession, he again attacks Hewao, who is knocked down in defeat. Sonic pulls his father close and feels him take his last breath.

"Robo Di" The man with the ominous embroidery of a glittering dragon on his back, the man responsible. What of the stolen mirror? Who is this Robo Di? Vowing to seek revenge, Sonic embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery surrounding his father's death and deliver justice to the man responsible.[8]

Locations

Hezuki Residence: The house of the Hezuki family, been standing there for hundreds of years...nothing could change the atmosphere of the peaceful house, until now...

Sakuragaoka: Sakuragaoka is the second location in Yokosuka. It is the place where most of the people live. It is also a peaceful village, but there are plenty of trouble-makers in the town as well.

Dobuita: Dobuita is the busy, gang filled town. There are plenty of people who will start fights and plenty of people who are plain stubborn. This is where most of the action will take place.

Amihama: Amihama is the big harbor in Yokosuka. People there are not nice and it is 'controlled' by the Mad Angels gang. Some people will interact, but most will say, "I'm working, find somebody else will ya"[9]

Hewao Hezuki Age: 46. Height: 5'9". Weight: 177 lbs. Birthday: 5/3. A very strict Dojo master, he was the master of the Hezuki style of Martial Arts.

Ine Hayata Age: 64. Height: 5'1". Weight: 103 lbs. Birthday: 8/9. Since Sonic had no motherly care as a child, Ine-san was hired to be the Hezuki's household maid. She has worked with them for more than 15 years and is considered family by Sonic. Hewao probably hired her because she is very particular about manners and discipline, but most of all she is an excellent cook. She has many antique Japanese dishes that are similar to a chef. She is quiet, but a hardworking woman that is emotionally strong, that is until Hewao's death.
Taiyuki Tazuhara Age: 26. Height: 5'8". Weight: 150 lbs. Birthday: 8/6. Tazu-san has lived with the Hezuki's for almost ten years. He is a hardworking and honest student of Hewao Hezuki, even though he is a slow learner. He usually fails because he jumps to conclusions and acts impulsively. Sonic thinks of Tazu-san as a brother because he always supports Sonic's decisions, with his warm and gentle personality.
Robo Di Age: 31. Height: 6'1". Weight: 188 lbs. Birthday: Unknown. Robo Di is one of the high-ranked members of a Chinese cartel named the Chi You Men, which is currently trying to gain control of Yokosuka. Robo Di is a sinister man whose cold stare is said to intimidate people even in his organization! Robo Di is master of a legendary martial art, which was supposed to be a myth. It is unknown why exactly he murdered Hewao Hezuki, but it has something to do with the Hedgehog Mirror.
Megumi Mishima Age: 5. Height: 3'7". Weight: 62 lbs. Birthday: 3/25. This sweet little kindergarten student is always fascinated with animals and nature. She has always dreamed of having a pet of her own, but her mother would not allow it. She found an abandoned cat and now takes care of it at the local Shrine. She is known for being so charming even some of the neighbors will help out, including Sonic Hezuki.
Naoyuki Ito He is the elder brother of Yasuo and Kayoko Ito. There's a big difference between the sibling's ages. He is a kind, gentle boy who takes good care of his brother and sister while his parents are busy with their work. However, he often has to leave his sister with his younger brother because he is studying for college entrance exams. He is close to Sonic and Ichiro who is in the same class. Sonic and Ichiro were already friends when Naoyuki's family moved to the Sakuragaoka when he was in the 2nd grade. At first, other classmates bullied Naoyuki because he was the new guy, so when Sonic helped him out they became good friends. He earned money doing a part-time job that he worked at since he started high school, and he recently bought a motorcycle, something he'd been dreaming of for years. He is so excited that he can't stop talking about the motorcycle to Sonic and Ichiro. He is good at science and mathematics, and his grades are among the highest in his class. Above all his physics grade is the top in the entire school.
Shigeo Yamagishi Shigeo was born in Itabashi, Tokyo, and is well versed in the traditional martial arts. With a strong affection for the martial arts from childhood, he trained until he was drafted into the military shortly after 30. He was sent with the Kanto army to the front lines. Due to his knowledge of communication techniques, developed while working at a manufacturer of Morse code generators, he was used on various missions (including decoding Chinese and Russian codes) as a technical officer. When the war was over, he married and moved to Sakuragaoka at his wife's urging because she loved the cherry trees there. They even planted a cherry tree in their home garden. When his wife died, he cut it down, trying to break the link with his past, but now seems to regret doing so. Ine-san has been a close acquaintance with Shigeo. This friendship has deepened since his wife died. He now harbors feelings of affection for Ine-san, but he avoids showing her these feelings, instead often treating Ine-san and Sonic with indifference. Years ago, when Shigeo became acquainted with Hewao, the master of Hezuki Dojo, he restarted his training again. Hewao and Shigeo developed a close friendship and always drank sake together after their practices. Shigeo stopped training again after he hurt his back. He is very strict about manners and behavior, even with the children gathering around the Abe Store. He has often scolded Sonic in the past for various reasons.

Later he came to realize that it takes 10 years to learn how to make soba correctly, taking into account color, cooking and delivery time. Following the custom of Yamaji Soba Noodles, he had had Kiyoshi deliver his soba for almost 10 years. He secretly hopes that his daughter will marry Kiyoshi and that they will take care of him when he gets older. This is what Aketagawa usually daydreams about while preparing the soba.
Takashi Takashiro Age: 29. Height: 5'11". Weight: 152 lbs. Birthday: April 17th. Born in Hiroshima, in junior high school Takashi was heavily influenced by movies. Once when he approached a punk to ask him about his tattoos, the punk got angry and beat Takashi up for no apparent reason. Luckily, Soroku Kikuchi, a tattoo artist, who happened to be passing by at the time, saved Takashi from serious injury. After this experience, Takashi became interested in tattoos., so he decided to become Kikuchi-san’s student. Although Kikuchi-san believed that tattoos are really just scribbling, for some reason, his tattoos were in high demand. Believing that tattoos are an art form, Takashi soon became disenchanted with Kikuchi-san’s teachings and when he was 17, Takashi set out on his own. By that time, he could tattoo quite well and earned a fair amount of money tattooing truck drivers. He hitchhiked all the way to Yokohama and began his own student---Shunkichi. Takashi began living with Asami, a girl with extraordinary fair skin. He tattooed Asami and himself with the same design, but one day Asami ran away with Shunkichi. After this incident, Takashi began to distrust everyone and moved to Yokosuka to restart his business there. For the past five years, he has been quietly tattooing only those customers who appreciate his designs.
