Samurai Shodown 3

Hearing of the "Demon" during his tour of Hizen, Kyoshiro takes a detour to the "Dark Castle" to verify the rumors. Little does he know what horrors await him..

Samurai Shodown 5

Convinced people are sad because of the current state in Japan, Kyoshiro decides to cheer people up with his Kabuki. After practicing for a bit, Kyoshiro decides to go on the road, in the hopes of perhaps finding a new Kabuki style and using his adventure as the story for his Kabuki act.

Arriving at Hinowa, Kyoshiro confronts Gaoh. Kyoshiro, almost having perfected hi Kabuki act, asks Gaoh to show his dance. Gaoh then tells Kyoshiro he has to kill him.

After defeating Gaoh, Kyoshiro is inspired to mix his Kabuki act and his fighting style to create the new Kabuki. Kyoshiro is then interrupted by a mysterious fighter with a boomerang and his master, who have also created a new style by mixing two martial arts styles. The student and Kyoshiro then fight to see whose mixed style is better.

Trivia

The mysterious teacher in Kyoshiro's ending in Samurai Shodown V appears to be Ryuhaku Todoh from the Art of Fighting series. Since the master speaks of developing a new style of mixed martial arts and Todoh uses a style of Kendo and Aikido, it is definitely Todoh. His appearance, however, is chronologically unsound, since Samurai Shodown V takes place in 1786 and Art of Fighting takes place in the late 1970's and early 1980's, about 200 years apart. However, it is possible that Todoh is a descendant of the mysterious master.
