The Aoto Clan. One of the city's finest sumo schools. It has history dating hundreds of years, both in the city of Roarhaven, and beyond it's mere city limits.

The current head of the clan Aoto Yoshio and after an unfortunate accident, is the single parent to the next in line for the title of patriarch and sensei, Hopper. He is tough and stern on the young frog, often badmouthing his obsession over the luchador El Fuerte, claiming he needs to study and prepare himself for the title he will inherint someday. He bears strange training weights, alongside a necklace with a strange looking insignia. This is all apart of his training he claims, and the fact that he wears a mawashi intended for beginners, as well as old garbs is meant to signify his eternal devotion to growing stronger. He is a deeply religious man, wearing prayer bells regularly on his outfit as a form of meditation and focus, however it comes with the weakness that his presence is always known, many a Aoto member has gotten used to hiding things when they hear the bells ring.

Above all though, he cares about one singular thing. The Aoto Clan, and it's years and years of legacy. He cares deeply about his clan. It's history, it's teachings and it's members. Yoshio is a man is willing to do ANYTHING to keep it's legacy intact.

...and every day he hopes none of his clan members catch on to the lie he's been living.

...that the Aoto Clan functionally ceased to exist 5 years ago, and now is nothing more than a stain on a piece of paper...
