Sensei Cho (South Park)

Sensei Cho is a fictional character from South Park.

Biography
Kirigi Kanō Cho was born in Ulsan, South Korea to Miwa (née Táoqì), a ophthalmologist, and Kanō Yuuta Cho, a Martial Arts educator. His father was a Japanese-born Korean originally from Fukuoka. He had ten brothers and three sisters. He had second and third cousins who were leaseholders of a hacienda and an accompanying rice farm by the Dominicans.

He had complex ancestry. His patrilineal lineage could be traced back to Fujian in China through his father's ancestor Lee Chen, a Hoklo Chinese who immigrated from Singapore and later Japan sometime in the 17th century. He traveled to these locations to escape the Manchu invasion during the Transition from Ming to Qing. Kirigi also had another paternal ancestor, Padre António Araujo, a man who lived in Macau during the Portuguese colonial period and was of mixed Chinese and Portuguese ancestry. On his mother's side, Kirigi's ancestry included Armenian, Japanese Filipino, Korean, and Chinese blood. His mother's lineage can be traced to a Chinese mestizo family originating from Baliuag, Bulacan. He also had Spanish ancestry. Ellen Velasco, a grandmother of his mother, Miwa, was mixed with Spanish, Tagalog, and Korean descent. His maternal grandfather was of half Spanish, one-quarter Chinese, and one-quarter Japanese ancestry.

He was raised a strict Roman Catholic, but would later claim that he was not religious. He was a firm believer in the supernatural however, and did state that he believed a God exists. When he was seventeen, he decided to adhere to the Bible teachings about Christian vegetarianism and became a vegetarian, as he had always had a aversion for meat and poultry at a young age. He became a borderline vegan as he became older, as he had forbidden eggs and dairy from his diet, although he did eat milk chocolate on occasion. He also enjoyed veggie burgers, tofu, nuts, vegan pizza, and avocado brownies.

Kirigi was straight, but he was openly flamboyant and somewhat feminine in nature. All of this, and along with his meek and intelligent personality, was the target of relentless bullying. Even the teachers did not appear to fond of him. Eventually, when Kirigi decided he could not endure much more torment, decided to take his own life and attempted suicide by jumping off a water tower, but fortunately, he survived. He was released from the hospital three weeks later. But not long after that, Kirigi was involved in a street fight. Tired of his weak, scrawny body figure, Kirigi enlisted in his father's Martial Arts school, in a desire to defend himself. He learned Togakure-Ryu, Shinobi-Iri, Taijutsu, Boryaku, and Seishin Teki. After mastering all of them, Kirigi was sent to live in Japan with his paternal half-uncle, Yoshi Cho, who was the head of a secret Japanese monastery. He was trained in all forms of Japanese martial arts. He mastered several of the arts, such as Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Tantōjutsu, Kyūjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Okinawan Kobudō, Bōjutsu, Naginatajutsu, Okinawan Kobudō, Kusarigamajutsu, Aikido, Kyūdō, Jujutsu, Karate, and Kendo. He also learned a unique ancient secret art and healing technique known as the Healing Hand. With the technique, Kirigi could heal both himself and others. He also learned a Pressure Point Intuition that effects the nervous system and if used one the right body part, could cause a stroke. All of these achievements are even more fascinating considering he was only a teenager when he mastered these martial arts.

Despite his rigorous training process, Kirigi still desired a education. After graduating from Shudo Junior and Senior High School, he enrolled at University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines. When Kirigi was eighteen, and in between his freshman and sophomore years, he met a kunoichi named Sara Watanabe, a woman of African, Native American, and Asian descent. Her mother was a Trinidadian and Tobagonian American of African descent, and her father was of Cherokee and Japanese ancestry. She was originally from America, but her family immigrated to Japan when they wanted Sara to learn martial arts. Sara was a few years older than Kirigi. They began a relationship during Kirigi's junior year in college, and got married shortly after his graduation. After getting married, Kirigi left his uncle's monastery and moved on to new zones, as he wanted to continue his training. He traveled to Thailand, where he mastered Muay Thai, Krabi-krabong. Then he traveled to China, where he learned a mastered several Chinese martial arts, including Kung fu, Wushu, Tai chi, Wing Chun, Taijijian, Baguazhang, Xing Yi Quan, Chāquán, and many others.

When Kirigi was twenty-eight, Sara gave birth to their first child. In between his 28-year-old age and his 46-year-old-age, Kirigi and Sara had nine more children. Having mastered nearly every martial art known to man, Kirigi moved the family to North Korea, where Kirigi founded his own dojo and clan with no name. He was Grandmaster and liked teaching people martial arts. He even earned enough money to open up a separate school. His tradition in teaching martial arts went on for decades, with Kirigi even teaching martial arts to his grandchildren, but due to his deteriorating health, Kirigi quit being a educator and passed the mantle of the head of the dojo to his nephew, as his sons had refused to take such a role. Kirigi died of throat cancer just nine months after his wife many years later.
