Signature Move: Iron Paw

Mission Role: Mascot, Leader & Protector

Backstory:

Kato was once a discarded stray—hungry, alone, and forgotten. But even with nothing, he never lost his protective spirit. One day, he leapt into action to save a kitten from bullies.  That act of courage changed everything.

The kids brought him into the dojo, and Officer Ray gave him a chance to prove that even those abandoned by the world can rise.

Kato became more than a mascot—he became the soul of the team. Now, his instincts guide the Iron Paws like a true guardian.
