==Story== | ==Story== | ||
Karate Joe is a lonely martial artist who struggles with his training. He seems to be developing his own unique karate style which incorporates rhythm. He has a very emotional personality, which can be seen in his many facial expressions. At the martial arts competitions, the opponent reads all his tricks, and he can't get results. Sometimes he goes to his master for advice, whose usual response is "You needed to focus on the basics."<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage01.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ１] (Character Album Stage 1)</ref> | Karate Joe is a lonely martial artist who struggles with his training.
