Kaze is the main character of the first arc of a story I'm building. A bullied kid who hides fear behind loud music and constant motion, eventually finding purpose in an underground fight league run out of a skate park. What starts as survival becomes self-discovery.

At 18, he leads the Ravers of the Temple of Silence, turning an abandoned fine-arts building into chaotic sanctuaries of EDM and combat. 

His growth is real, but his insecurity never fully vanished, his confidence is built on top of cracks.

The first piece of my Barapalooza 4 portfolio is finally ready.

It’s Sho — but in full wrestler mode, with a gear set that feels bold and matches his personality so well. This version of him has been in my mind for a long time, and seeing him take shape feels like the right way to start this portfolio.

There’s something special about beginning a project with a character who carries so much of the story and energy behind this whole universe.
This is just the first step, but it already feels meaningful.

More pieces are on the way, and I’m excited to share them with you.
