A master of a powerful form of martial art that
was supposed to have disappeared long ago, Lan
Di’s chilling stare alone is enough to intimidate
most opponents. But, those brave enough to
ignore his stare usually forfeit without a fight
once they see his deadly moves.
Evil to the core, he is incapable of showing
mercy and will stop at nothing to bury anyone
who dares to cross him.
He is Ryo’s father and
the foremost expert of
the Hazuki style of
martial art.
In his youth he traveled
to China to undergo
martial arts training and
during this time he met
various people. Because
of his deep devotion to martial arts, bo th Iwao

is very kind-hearted and gentle.

Not very talkative and
