Hayato Kanzaki

Abandoned by his parents as a young child, Hayato Kanzaki was found wandering the streets of Neo Tokyo by a female owner of a local orphanage. She raised Hayato as well as many other disadvantaged children in her own time, but in doing so, she fell deeply into debt. Upon growing up into an adult, Hayato had vowed to help the owner get out of debt. Unable to find other work from within the city, Hayato had reluctantly became a bounty hunter in order to gain easy money so that he could help support the orphanage.

One day, Hayato had discovered an ad offering a huge reward to join a project called Star Gladiator and realizing that this was his chance to help the owner and the orphanage out, Hayato had joined the project without any hesitation or second thought.
