Origin

Tujiro was known for his skill as a kabuki dancer. His power was not known to the general public. Along with his fame he was involved with criminal dealings, particularly human trafficking as well as abductions and killing due to his own bloodthirsty nature.

After a show in New York, Tujiro was introduced to Christine Spar and Anson Spar by Regina Anastasi. It would seem that he took a liking to the Spars. During their meeting he pulled a lock of hair from young Anson, and licked the hand of Christine as she held it out to introduce herself. Later that night he would sent his lackey Yoshi Onagawa to collect Anson, who he hypnotezed. It is unclear exactly what Tujiro did to Anson that evening, but as Christine would later discover Tujiro had a taste for human blood and kept an eye from his victims as a trophy.

Tujiro's stop after New York was in San Francisco. Upon discovering that Tujiro had kidnapped and murdered her son, Christine would become the vigilante Grendel in order to stop him. She followed him to San Fransisco and fist confronted him at his apartment. She easily bested his lackeys Yoshi Onagawa and Niccolo, however Tujiro was too much for her. Tujiro threw Spar across the room and again out the window of his room.

Tujiro would survine into the 26th century and become Pope Innocent XLII of the New Catholic Church; he is slain by Orion Assante, the first Grendel-Khan.
