Tony, up close and personal.
    Tony is a mix of American and Japanese culture.  He is a star lacrosse player for Oakdale High School's Oaks.  He also plays for a club team in Duluth.  Playing lacrosse has always been a dream of his: it was one of the few things his father showed him how to do before his "disappearance".  He also enjoys the alternative/heavy metal music scene, and is usually seen wearing a t-shirt from a metal band or a shirt that rips on anything pop.

    However, thru the influence of his paternal grandmother, Hioka, he is very Japanese.  He enjoys meditating, practicing yoga, and has a sensitivity to psychic phenomenon.  He also lives and works at The Imperial Garden, a new age gift and coffee shop owned by Hioka.

    As a knight, he is the spiritual link.  Even though his psychic powers don't nearly rival Rei's, he still can pick up on a few things.  He also has a natural knack at reading people's emotions and is the type of person who could be used easily as a confidant or a sounding board.

HENSHIN PHRASE AND ITEMS:

• Mars Bracelet: Tony's henshin item.  It is disguised as a red carnelian power bracelet that he always has on his right wrist.
• Mars Knight Power, Transform!: The Mars Bracelet grows large enough to encircle him and falls to his feet, with the beads expanding in size and starting on fire.  Then the ring of fire grows up, turning the clothes he had been wearing into his fuku.
• Fire Sword: the sword that Marsknight carries.  It's a katana with a red and black silken handle and a red crystal like blade.

• "Protector of the planet of the flame, I am MarsKnight!  In the name of my planet, I will eliminate you."

• Mars Fiery Soul!:  This is his version of "Mars Fire Ignite/Fire Soul".  Marsknight makes a gun like formation with the thumb and index fingers of both hands, interlocking the other fingers.  He then  points the "gun" at the enemy, and a ball of fire comes out of it and shoots at the enemy, either knocking them down or frying them.
• Flaming Fury!: This attack's rather simple.  He says this while his sword is out of it's sheath, and it starts on fire, turning into a sharp flaming torch.
