Kensei Ma

Appearance
He is very short (one of the shortest characters in the series), balding, and is always seen wearing a hat.

Personality
Kensei is a sly and perverted man, he always tries to take pictures of attractive women (particularly Shigure and Miu), and often sells these pictures to Kenichi in the form of "data books" which usually turn out to be pictures of anything but the two of them. Ma seems to have a plethora of spying equipment at his disposal to aid him in such endeavors.

Background
He has been training in martial arts since he was very young and is the leader of a large martial arts alliance in China which has 100,000 followers which he left behind, regarding it as a nuisance.

Skills and Techniques
Ma is a very experienced martial artist having been trained since he was very young, and purportedly knows all martial arts indigenous to China. In spite of his size he is very strong, being able to destroy a small bridge with a single kick, and was able to rend the the flesh of Diego Carlo, a man said to possess a body hard as steel, with his bare hands , and has shown the ability to oust all of the water from a hot spring with a single palm thrust. He is very agile, being capable of seamlessly jumping atop moving cars one after another. Ma is also rather skilled in the fields of medicine and runs an acupuncture clinic and also usually mends the wounds of Kenichi and others when they are injured along with Akisame. Chinese Kenpo
