10 years prior to the
events of the game, J. was an unfortunate sailor who washed up the shores of
Japan. To survive, he learns to wield a blade and lovingly names his sword
Elvis. He eventually meets and falls in love with a geisha and tries to buy her
freedom without much success. Hearing of a reward for detailing the whereabouts
of Suzuhime, he sets out in search of
her.
His ending reveals that
he had a rough time when he first landed in Japan. He was called the "black
devil" and was feared by everyone who saw him. The only one who didn't run
from him was a young girl who offered him food. Touched by her sincerity, J.
swore to one day return the favor. The girl is the same geisha in his backstory.
He buys her freedom with the gold he earned for defeating Golba
and tells her to not love a man like him. She thanks him by choosing to live her
life as she sees fit.

Afro samurai. He's got the look at least. "J" seems to have a lot more personality that most of the
other new character designs introduced in Samurai Shodown Sen. In terms of fighting
style, J. has a pretty original and cool-looking stance... his attacks are the
standard samurai fare, with a variety of traditional (and non-traditional_ sword slashes.
Some of J's animations
look halfway decent, while others are sloppy and kinda stiff (not unlike other characters in Sen). Overall, his moveset and overall appearance was a letdown... and definitely not as exciting or fleshed out as classic Samurai Shodown characters. I think J would've made a cool 2D character, though. Maybe he'll make a comeback someday. On that
note, they should probably give him a more exciting name if they do bring him back. I suggest "J-Sen" which sounds like Jason. ;)
