Tokio was
raised in in a Kabuki Actor's family and joined a local gang known as
"Black Thunder" 2 years before the events of Fighting Vipers.
He eventually became the leader of Black Thunder, but left the gang after one of his
fellow members was killed,
as he felt responsible. Soon after, he became a lone wolf.

In 1995 / 1996,
most video game "males" were typical the strong, masculine type (and
usually trying way too hard to be 'mainly')... with the exception of a few.
That's part of the reason I thought Tokio was a pretty unique and interesting
design in Fighting Vipers. What is this game, Fighting Vipers? These
characters don't seem like they're trying to be anyone else? These characters
are... refreshingly different. Tokio is a tough martial artist and happens
to have a fairly thin build and majestic long hair. Don't hate, because the dude
is even a member of some "gang"... which naturally adds to his
toughness, of course.
Tokio's default appearance is somewhat odd, and I suppose he's showing his chest
for the ladies... but somehow his outfit works with the "look" of
character designs from Fighting Vipers, and arguably more interesting to
look at than most Virtua Fighter costume designs, for example. And how can you go wrong with a
name like Tokio? I dunno... I just think he's a cool. He also kinda has some Android
17 vibes going on. Tokio has some pretty solid attacks in his moveset, but
in some ways not so memorable of a fighting style.
