[edit] About Keith
Keith is self-centered and conceited. He was a misunderstood youth who at one time ran with a gang. But the strong, unrivaled love of his father was what made him leave. His one and only best friend was the leader of the gang (he still hangs out with that friend once in awhile).
Keith is a playboy, a guy who likes flirting women, which is one of the reasons that he enters to Goketsuji tournaments, though his ego is what often ends up driving them away. But there, he found Annie Hamilton, the love of his life.
[edit] Participation Details
- Power Instinct
As part of his rehabilitation, Keith's father suggested him to practice any kind of sport and since he left his gang he has been trying everything. His father told him about the tradition of the martial arts tournaments, and he decided to practice just that. After a year of training, Keith wants to see the result of his effort and singed up for the Goketsuji tournament.
- Power Instinct 2
Keith received the invitation for the new tournament... it seems like a good opportunity to impress some interesting girls that he met in the conference and also to get the resources to finance his dating expenses.
- Power Instinct Legends
Keith wants to ask Annie out on a date, but he doesn't know where to take her. Suddenly Kokuin Kanji appeared before him with two tickets for a very exclusive concert and promised to give them to him if he participates and wins the tournament. Keith did not refuse.
- Toukon Matrimelee
He read in the invitation for the Toukon Matrimelee tournament that the winner will be married with a young princess, and with pretty girls being his weak point, he doesn't even hesitate in participating.
