Appearance
If a short phrase had to be used to describe Sho's appearance, wild and uncontrolled could be some of the first words used to describe him. His outfit is as edgy as it can be intimidating, wearing a torn biker's jacket and a tank-top on top of a very well-toned and muscular body. His wardrobe is nearly completely black from head to toe, barring a red bandanna beneath his hat and a Rubix Cube hanging at his waist, which Sho frequently fiddles with yet has not yet seemed able to solve.
The trained eye could perceive Sho's skin tone as a very tan Asian, and his combination of yellow eyes and his intimidatingly muscular body can be offputting to most, painting him as a typical thug. His hair doesn't help matters, showing signs of having been previously dyed and now fading back to its regular bright tone. Where it isn't covered by his bandanna, Sho's hair haphazardly sticks out in all dircections,
When Sho powers up, his aura turns a very distinct shade of black and the apparition of black wings can be seen sprouting from his back.

Personality
Lunacy.
Sho is very... mathematically inclined. He has a borderline obsession with math and bases the majority of what he does around it, from concocting plans to even insults. 'You brain-dead binomial!'
...Just because he likes math, doesn't mean that he's good at it.
Sho is also a free spirit, having no real regard for either cooperation with others or for authority. While he is forced to bow out to more powerful beings, he has no qualms with scheming behind their backs and backstabbing them the moment an oppurtunity arises. That being said, his free-spiritness doesn't hinder his ability to notice an oppurtunity in front of him, and he's willing to endure a temporary alliance if it suits him in the long run.
Sho is unpredictable. He rarely faces opponents head on, and instead revolves around using a plethora of tricks and tactics to gain the upper hand against a more powerful opponent. He does go in guns blazing against an opponent he is assured of his ability to beat, but in any ohter case, he's staying to the back and crunching numbers.

Background
Born the son of a ramen shop own, Ken Doi, Sho found that he had an affinity for mathematics very quickly. Even when he was young, he found himself obsessing over crunching numbers - even if it was only simple addition and subtraction at first. By the time he started school, he was well above where a child his age would ever be expected to be - a prodigy by all accounts.
His obsession with numbers did have an unfortunate side effect, however - he was regarded as an outlier and ignored by the majority of his peers, being left to his own deices while other children played together on the playground. This suited Sho just fine, because it gave him more time to play with numbers instead of doing something as frivolous and unnecessary as social interaction.
Sho was by no means spectacular at school. He scarcely paid any attention to his lessons and instead spent time working with numbers and incorporating a concept known as Ki into it - something he learned from Ken Doi, a former martial artist.
When he accidentally a blew a hole in a school wall, he was politely excused from school and moved to homeschooling.
Ken Doi began to tutor Sho in Ki and math, among other things. Whereas school had failed him, Ken Doi was a figure that had both Sho's attention and respect. As such, he found himself rapidly advancing in both power and mental prowess, eventually making his own breakthroughs in Ki during his own time - incorporating the concept of Residual Ki to attacks.
Sho's training continued until he was twenty and still living with his father - and Ken Doi kicked Sho out in favor of Sho honing his strength that way. As such, Sho found himself scouring the globe and even taking a trip to Namek to attend a martial arts tournament.
Which brings Sho to today - Sho's primary objective is to crunch some numbers and formulate a specific way to become more powerful. In the end, it's really power for power's sake - there's no really good reason Sho wants it other than to impress Ken Doi.

Abilities
Residual Ki: A rather complicated technique. By splitting apart his soul, Sho is capable of manifesting residual Ki from other fighters in the form of an animal - usually a small one if there is little Ki lingering in the area, but as battles become longer and more and more Ki is wasted, these cute little critters can turn into savage, hulking beasts and mutant bears.
In practical terms - these creatures manifested use Ki wasted by other combatants to obtain power. Each creature absorbs 20% of Sho's Power Level as part of his Soul, thusly weakening Sho, and uses 2% of combined Power Level of attacks - meaning that the Residual Ki pool is reset every time Sho creates something.
Inverse Burst: +10%. Sho generates a burst of energy in his hand and releases it, resulting in in splitting into several smaller energy shots and circling away from Sho.
Reversal: An 'Active' skill. A specialized form of flight, where Sho jerks his body to any direction with a sudden burst of speed, allowing him to quickly dodge incoming attacks and set himself up fo a counter in even the most awkward of angles. Its power comes from speed and unpredicability - if Sho gets repetitive with the technique, it can easily be countered.
