Kayin is a friend of Eiji
Shinjo and is a bounty hunter, going by the name
of Storm. He was trained in sword-fighting along with Eiji by Eiji's older
brother Sho,
until he suddenly disappeared. Kayin then entered the first Toshinden tournament
to avenge his father's recent death, who he learned had been killed by
a participant who won the previous tournament. He eventually learned that
Sho was the perpetrator and his friendship with Eiji was nearly shattered
because of this.
Kayin was then forced to enter
the second tournament after his adoptive daughter, Naru, was kidnapped
by the Secret Society. At the end of the event, he managed to help bring
down the fall of the Secret Society and rescue Naru. However, he then discovered
that they were being targeted by the Organization. He participated in the
third tournament hosted by it and managed to help destroy the Organization.
However, he realized that Naru would always be in danger because of him
and he decided to leave her in a housing institute. He handed down his
Excalibur sword to her and then disappeared.

Back in the 90's,
many fighting games developers thought it was a really really good idea to "stick
to the formula". That's why it wasn't surprising to see another "Ken
Masters look-alike", to contrast the brown-haired hero, in Toshinden. Obviously, Eiji was the
protagonist... "the Ryu". Check for the brown hair and the headband, that's a must! In
fairness, Kayin was wearing something other than a Karate uniform, and his
outfit looked cool at the time. In fact, Kayin still looks cool now. Gotta admit
he's a character design that aged pretty well... although he never got much time
to develop.
I remember Kayin had some pretty cool moves that set him apart from Eiji and
other "shoto-like" characters in Toshinden. Kayin was a
"safe" character design for the series, but one that was memorable in
some ways.
