Kori Tabo

When Kori was eleven years old he joined a gang of pie snatching rascals where he learned to be stealthy. He practiced running and jumping through and around obstacles, learning to dodge and escape. But luck always runs out eventually and one day he was caught. His family was ashamed but instead of punishing him they sent him to his grandfather’s Tabo-do karate dojo to learn to focus. He spent years there learning self-control through martial arts. He excelled at the wakizashi and his aim with the shuriken earned him praise.
