The Charismatic Charlie Wade

When Yuhiko Ito was just a young buck, he was a full-fledged martial arts enthusiast, skilled in the ways of Bruce Lee and his disciples of the ’70s and ’80s.

And it was under his influence that his daughter Nanako became hooked on the art of combat from a young age.

Dedicated to her hobby, Yuhiko went to great lengths to find the best karate master, the best Sanda and fighting master in all of Japan to teach Nanako.

And as she grew, so did her talent, becoming truly exceptional in the foreign skills she had learned.

By the time Nanako hit fifteen, the most renowned masters in all of Japan had passed down everything they knew to her.

But Yuhiko knew there was still more for his daughter to learn.

He longed to find a teacher for Nanako who could impart the secrets of inner martial arts, a practice that was rare and difficult to come by in Japan.

Of the few options available, ninjutsu was too crude for a lady like Nanako, and swordsmanship emphasized the unity of human and sword, which wasn’t quite what Yuhiko was looking for.

Once you lay down the sword, your combat skills are bound to rust.

And while Nanako never really enjoyed the dance of guns and swords, her reluctance to continue training left her in a state of stagnation.

That is, until her father, Yuhiko Ito, emerged from the mountains and brought on Japan’s top master, Yamamoto Kazuki, to train his daughter.

With Kazuki’s guidance, Nanako’s martial arts skills soared to new heights.

But being a foreign master, Yuhiko yearned for Nanako to learn Chinese martial arts as well.

Unfortunately, the only Chinese warriors Yuhiko encountered were ordinary martial arts families, who guarded their incomplete techniques like family secrets.

After repeatedly hitting roadblocks, Yuhiko was forced to give up on the idea.

Little did he know that his daughter would soon become a true warrior in her own right.

When he expressed his shock, Nanako explained, “Dad, it was thanks to the elixir Mr. Wade gave me and a bit of luck that I was able to find a breakthrough method so quickly.
