History:
Born and raised in Water 7, Ma Jiro grew up as a single child with his mother and father until the age of 8, at which time his mother passed away from sickness. Upon her death, Ma Jiro took on the chore of cooking for him and his mechanic father. His father initially sent him to the Old Rice Man to receive some training in cooking, and Ma Jiro studied with him daily. Soon after, the Old Man became Ma Jiro’s hero and rival, and as such, he swore that one day he would create the ultimate rice dish.

At the age of 15, upon going in search of a new flavour for his rice, Ma Jiro came across a small, round, grey-coloured fruit that he had not seen before. The store owner positive that it was just some rotten fruit sold it to him at a low price. Prior to cooking the fruit, Ma Jiro decided to sample the fruit to see how it tasted, and was amazed at the flavour, unknowingly, he quickly devoured the fruit. Realizing that he was now out of new ingredients, Ma Jiro set off in search of some more ingredients. However, during his search he came across some pirates of whom his father had denied taking work for out of pride.

Knowing that Ma Jiro was the mechanics son, the pulled him into an alley and said tat they were going to beat him to a pulp because of his father. As Ma Jiro put up his arms to protect himself, he closed his eyes and braced for the impact. Noticing a loud thudding sound he opened his eyes and saw that his body had changed. Large steel like plates now covered his forearms and back, and his hands changed into large curved claws. Finding this new power, Ma Jiro quickly defeated the pirates. Upon this day, Ma Jiro’s Father took note of his new abilities and made the Motor Belt, to increase the offensive capabilities of Ma Jiro’s shell. From that day on, Ma Jiro has continued his quest to create the perfect rice dish, no matter where the ingredients may lie.
