I took some time away from my writing project when I got the concept bug again. I took and older SFIV/V Concept I already completed and turned it in a SFVI one. Although they are some crossover with SFV Concept. This Tora is a different character. He isn’t an amnesiac Dan Hibiki taken in by Sagat but boy from the mountain village Sagat trained in during his sabbatical that eventually became his disciple.

Fighting Style: Muay Thai (Tiger Style )
Tone: Tora is a dedicated and serious young man. Training and improving are his chief focus in life.
Origins: Tora has no memory of his parents. He was orphaned as a boy. When the Muay Thai Emperor, Sagat, came to his mountain village to train in solitude. Tora watched him from a distance. He’s mimic, to the best of his ability, the techniques he saw Sagat perform. This went on for several years. Unbeknownst to Tora, Sagat was aware of his prying eyes. Sagat figured he’d grow bored and go about his way eventually, but Tora did not. With no parents to take care of him, Tora performed odd jobs around the village to earn his keep. Only taking breaks to watch Sagat. Sagat was reluctant to take on any students after schism between he and Adon.
One day, on his way to get water from the local river, Sagat saw several kids accosting Tora. Before he could intervene, Tora subdued his attacks with surprisingly accurate versions of his own techniques. Impressed with the progress he made on his own. Sagat decided to formally train Tora. Tora was overjoyed at the opportunity. He worked diligently at his craft. Sagat often had to insist that Tora take breaks. Tora would go off in the woods to “relax.” A soon as he was out of Sagat’s line of sight, he’d train on his own.
Tora has developed quite the “fan club” in the village. However he’s completely oblivious to why the girls of the village find excuses to be around him. The biggest of his fan often joins him on his morning runs and frequently asks to be trained by Tora. Tora always remarks to her that he is still learning himself and that she should study under Sagat. Yet she persists in following him around and mimic his movements. He was initially annoyed at the distraction from his training until Sagat reminded Tora that he followed Sagat around in the same manner.
