Character history
Katarou was a martial arts master gone criminal whose greatest ambition was to train with the True Master. However, his first attempt to do so was unsuccessful, so he devised another plan. Learning of Robin's fighting prowess, he went to Jump City, stealing a valuable staff in the process, and easily fended off Robin's attacks. Upon Robin's question where he had learned to fight like that, Katarou cunningly implied that he had been trained by the True Master before he escaped with the staff, leaving Robin vexed and humiliated.
In order to improve his fighting skills, Robin traveled to Asia to seek out the True Master, and despite his own impatience and the tests waiting for him on the way, he managed to make his way up the Master's mountain retreat. But this was all part of Katarou's plan: By letting Robin pass the tests in his stead and following him immediately afterward, and then intercepting Robin before he could see the Master, Katarou would claim the apprenticeship for himself. However, Robin managed to beat him using his newfound experiences from his journey, and the True Master, who had surreptitiously watched Robin's progress, denounced Katarou a cheat and had him thrown off the mountain, dashing his chances of ever training under her forever.
Later, Katarou joined the Brotherhood of Evil. When the Brotherhood unleashed it's plans and started to capture Titans, Katarou went to Japan, brawled Bushido and defeated him. However, during the final battle, Bushido got his revenge by kicking him square in the face, knocking him out. It is worth noting that Katarou got hit plenty of times, but was never knocked unconsious by those attacks.
