As he grew, he formed a special bond with Tatsumaru, who Rikimaru saw as a role model and older brother and Master Shiunsai, who was like a father figure to him. Unfortunatly both were lost.

Opening[]

Rikimaru is summoned to Lord Gohda's castle. Rikimaru arrives only to receive shocking news it appears that Onikage had survived their last encounter. Assuming that he's up to no good, Lord Gohda assigns Rikimaru to find Onikage and put an end to whatever he is planning. Rikimaru then sets off on his journey.

Rival[]

Name: Naked Snake

Reason: TBA

Connection: Both Characters are orphans that have been mentored by parental figures and leaders of a organization who later on dies, Rikimaru with Master Shiunsai of the Azuma Shinobi Ninja Clan and Naked Snake with The Boss of the Cobra Unit. Both had became leaders themselves, Rikimaru leading the Azuma Shinobi Ninja Clan and Naked Snake, who later becomes Big Boss leads a unit named Foxhound. Both uses stealth to complete their objectives. However their combat strategies can be considered the opposite. Rikimaru uses his sword and other Ninja items, while Naked Snake relies mostly on firearms.

Ending[]

Rikimaru returns to his world still searching for Onikage. He is disappointed that the "assassins" he encountered did not have any information on his whereabouts. Suddenly, Onikage appears slightly surprised that Rikimaru is still alive. He had expected the god of the realm to destroy him and then takes that task upon himself. Rikimaru activates Polygon Man's power and tells him that he is sorely mistaken if he believes that he'll defeat him so easily.

Gameplay[]

Rikimaru is a highly effective close range fighter and a decent mid range fighter. He also use alot of ninja items, numbers of traps and poison darts. He moves rather quickly, but not as fast as Parappa.
