Chipp Zanuff

Chipp is hot-headed and not really what anyone would call a thinker. He is more of a street brawler than a college student. He has had some political and social training and is aware of his coarse nature, but he regards it as an asset, not a liability.

His methods may be crude, but the morality he's learned from his master never wavers, and his straightforward approach, bull-headed as it may be, has captured the hearts of his people. He has earned the respect and admiration of those he had saved, and many affectionately call him "boss."

Chipp is a ninja who wants to become president to correct everything that's wrong with the world. He is also one of the few people in the world able to wield the power of ki.

Chipp grew up in some of the US's worst slums, and before long, he was selling drugs as part of a gang. His life was being shaped up to be short and brutal until he met Tsuyoshi, who instructed him in the martial arts. This training honed not only Chipp's body but also his moral center and his spirit and helped him cast aside his dark past. He became an ardent fan of Japan, but his knowledge of its culture remained relatively shallow. He often misunderstood vital elements of it in an attempt to be more Japanese.

Chipp's interest now is in what causes a society to fall to ruin. So he aspires to become president: The person with the absolute political power necessary to combat that decline.

He is acquainted with Erica since she was President of the United States.
