Character Profile: Jinpei

Jinpei was taken in by Doctor Nambu after Jun insisted he take both of them out of the orphanage they had been living in. Though he is the youngest of the team, he is an able fighter -- agile and quick in battle and accurate with his weapons.

He tends to have a rapport with children and animals, which occasionally comes in handy for the team. For all intents and purposes, Jun is his older sister, having known him for most of his life. However, he also treats Ken (and Joe, to a lesser extent) as his older brothers, looking up to them, and occasionally rebelling when he feels he's being overlooked. Ryu is his buddy and, as such, gets somewhat less respect than either Ken or Joe (although Ryu will be the first to rap Jinpei in the head when he deserves it).
