Takeshi "Neko" Oyama is an old-school samurai warrior with integrity and honor, the paradigm of the perfect bushi. His face, lean and serious, always shows a determined and solemn expression. He has rough, taciturn manners and the creeds of the Bushido code always guide his attitude toward life. Oyama carries his scars with pride as a sign of his experience; however, like a good bushi he never brags about them.
