If you know about fighting games, you’ve heard of Tokido.

He’s an EVO Champion, one of the most successful players of all time, beloved by the community and unbelievably skilled.

But even though everyone considered him the best, he was constantly chasing the shadow of the greatest fighting game player of all time: Daigo Umehara.

For six years, Tokido tried and failed to take Daigo’s crown. For six years, Tokido challenged Daigo to gruelling, first-to-ten matches and faced losses that drove him to tears.

But Tokido persevered, and continued on his quest to become the new god of fighting games.
