==Physical Appearence==

==Backstory==

Karate Joe's Father wanted his son to master karate instead of playing soccer, and told his son that he can't leave his house until he masters it. Even at 55<ref>"Résultat : à 55 ans, je vis toujours au sous-sol..." (The result: At 55, I still live in the basement...) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Karate Man|Karatéka]], ''Rhythm Paradise Megamix''</ref>, [[Karate Joe]] still lives in the basement. Father also stole the ball that Joe had bought and used it as a sandbag<ref>"せっかく買ったボールは、取り上げられて、今やサンドバッグ代わりになっている。" (The ball I bought was stolen, and is now being used as a sandbag.) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Karate Man (3DS)|Karate Man]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref>. Father is a master at karate, but not cooking. Occasionally he makes dinner anyway (like one day when Karate Joe's Mother was out of the house)<ref>"母さんが外出した日に、一度だけ食べた父さんのナベ。" (Father's curry, which I only ate once on the day my mom went out.) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Karate Man Returns!]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref>, and asks his son if he likes it. [[Karate Joe]] has to lie and say that he likes it to make him feel good. Father got his son bombs in order to make him face his fears. At first, [[Karate Joe]] thought they were fake, but then one exploded! He still vividly remembers his Father's face as he said "Are you surprised?"<ref>"「おどろいただろ？」という父さんの顔、今でもおぼえてる。" ("Are you surprised?" I still remember my father's face.) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Karate Man Kicks!]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref> [[Karate Joe]] has no idea where his father got them from. Father keeps a bunch of barrels around, but [[Karate Joe]] has no idea why. [[Karate Joe|Joe]] has asked multiple times, but was told that he can only know when he is stronger than his father. [[Karate Joe]] envies his Father's incredible vision that allows him to quickly tell the color of a light bulb and counter it. Joe also sees this as an explanation for his Father easily counters his attacks.<ref>"だから、オレのこうげきだって、カンタンにふせぐのさ。" (That's why it's so easy for him to counter my attacks, too.) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Karate Man Senior]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref>
