“	A Captain that crawled his way up from his position as a servant... How most of the guys who serve under him come from peasant backgrounds...W-when you hear all the stories of what they've done...Who wouldn't look up to and admire something like that?!	”
—Kan To to Suu Gen on his reasons for wanting to join the Hi Shin Unit.

Kan To is a 100-Man Commander in the Qin Military and serves as a new commander in the Hi Shin Unit. Born a commoner, he rose through the ranks due to his unwavering determination and fierce loyalty. His growth as a soldier is a testament to his dedication to his comrades and his strong will to prove his worth in battle.

Kan To's tenacity on the battlefield is matched by his drive. Despite his rough exterior, Kan To is known for his camaraderie and is deeply protective of his fellow soldiers. His bond with the Hi Shin Unit is unbreakable, and he has become a cornerstone of the unit's strength.

Appearance

Kan To is tall and muscular man. His face is cleanly shaved with a small scar on his right eye. He keeps his hair tied together in the top of his head. During recruitment, he's shown to be more stylish than other greenhorns. Kan To was depicted wearing a tunic adorned with a leopard pattern design, which he still wears to this day.

Personality

Easily angered or overjoyed, Kan To wears his heart on his shoulders. But he is very proud of being in the Hi Shin Unit and tries to hold up its name and live up to his predecessors.

History

Kan To as a child.

Kan To is a only child and his father died when he was very young. His mother had a weak constitution and contracted an illness that left her blind, yet she continued to do his hair. His hair was messy, but he fought anyone who made fun of him for it. She died when he was a teenager, and he chose to keep that hairstyle.

After hearing various stories about the legendary Hi Shin Unit, Kan To became deeply inspired and determined to join their ranks. He was captivated by the tales of Shin, the unit's leader, who had risen from humble beginnings as a former servant to become a respected and powerful captain. The stories of Shin's relentless drive and the challenges he overcame resonated with Kan To, especially as they mirrored his own desire to break free from the constraints of his commoner status.

Story

Bureaucrats Job Arc

Kan To wanted to enlist to the Hi Shin Unit as a soldier, but when he experienced the hard conditions, he got angry as to why he and the men have to go through endurance training rather than combat training. Then he and some others were challenged by Suu Gen to attack him with real swords, while Suu Gen would only defend with a wooden blade. Kan To accepted, and he ends the others were easily beaten. He then reentered the recruitment and passed it.

During the training sessions, he and the other new recruits had a bit of a hard time, to learn how to move as a unit. But as soon as they managed to do so, they easily pushed through the veteran infantry, because of their better physical stats but were instantly beaten by Shin.

Western Zhao Invasion Arc

Third Day of Battle:

Kan To getting stomp on by a horseman.

Kan To participates in his first real battle alongside the other rookies when the Hi Shin Unit arrives as reinforcements on Qin's right wing. Zhao's heavy cavalry breaks their line, and Kan To manages to block a spear from an enemy horseman, though he is ultimately trampled by the horse. While the surrounding infantry is massacred, Sou Jin unexpectedly arrives, killing enemy soldiers from afar, giving Kan To and the others a brief respite.

Seizing this moment, Kan To quickly reorganizes the troops and motivates them. Together, they manage to repel the horsemen, who are then trapped by Suu Gen and his forces during their retreat. Kan To and the rookies also participate in Kyou Kai's plan to set up bottlenecks on the left and right, funneling the enemy into a trap.

Twelfth Day of Battle:
Kan To, like the rest of the Hi Shin Unit, attends Shin's speech and prepares for the devastating charge that follows. Despite the chaos of battle, he notices that the officers and veterans are working together, looking out for each other. As a cavalry squad charges at them, they instinctively form the Gouriki formation to protect themselves. Deputy Commander Shou Sa congratulates them for their quick reaction and remarks that their perspective on the battlefield has already begun to shift.

Kan To realizes that after more than ten days of fighting, he and the other rookies are in better shape, and it’s easier for him to choose his movements. Shou Sa reflects that this change in perspective is a result of their time under Shin's leadership. He reveals that Shin’s vision of the battlefield is on a much higher level, and that the veterans have grown and learned under his command. He urges Kan To to continue supporting Shin, as together, they are unstoppable. Kan To expresses his gratitude for being part of the Hi Shin Unit.

Fourteen day of battle:
Ka Ryo Ten entrusts En and Shou Sa with the task of providing rescue and reinforcements on the field. They are instructed to help only where necessary and to minimize casualties. However, when Shou Sa learns that a certain unit is too far gone to be saved, he chooses to come to their aid after learning that Kan To and the other rookies are among them. He recalls Kan To’s words about being glad to be in the Hi Shin Unit, and despite the risks, he presses forward.

Shou Sa and his relief unit manage to reach the rookies just in time to save them from annihilation, but Shou Sa is mortally wounded during the struggle. Kan To kills Shou Sa’s assailant, realizing that the Hi Shin Unit may lose one of its most important infantry commanders. He declares that he and the rookies will sacrifice themselves if necessary to allow Shou Sa to escape.

Shou Sa scolds Kan To for considering such a sacrifice, reminding him that rookies still have much to learn and must support Shin in his goal of becoming a Great General under Heaven. Despite his injuries, Shou Sa’s strength of character deeply moves Kan To, and he wonders if this is what it truly means to be a veteran of the Hi Shin Unit.

As they manage to escape, Kan To carries the dying Shou Sa to Shin’s position, fulfilling the deputy commander’s last wish. In Shou Sa’s final moments, they reunite. Kan To inherits Shou Sa’s spear and vows to master it in honor of the fallen commander, carrying forward his legacy and will.

Contender for Shou Sa's successor?

As a recruit, Kan To stood out among the newcomers due to his exceptional abilities, managing to complete the rigorous selection process and training regimen with impressive results. However, his overconfidence and brash demeanor led the infantry veterans, such as Suu Gen, to nickname him "All Talk" Kan To. His arrogance often clashed with the other more experienced rookie soldiers, and he struggled to earn their respect initially.

Despite this, Kan To's determination and natural talent could not be ignored. Through countless drills, intense training, and the harsh reality of battle, he began to refine his skills and understanding of what it meant to be a soldier. With each battle, his confidence was tempered by the experiences he gained, and he started to develop a deeper respect for his comrades and the importance of working together as a unit.

As time passed, Kan To's growth was undeniable. He began to shed his cocky attitude, becoming more disciplined and focused on improving his abilities. His leadership skills began to shine through, and he quickly emerged as one of the central figures in the Hi Shin Unit’s infantry corps. Kan To’s evolution from an arrogant recruit to a reliable and capable soldier was a testament to the transformative power of the Hi Shin Unit’s training and the example set by its veterans, particularly Shin, whose leadership inspired Kan To to strive for greatness.

Though still rough around the edges, Kan To's commitment to the Hi Shin Unit and his comrades has earned him the respect he once lacked, and he has become a key player in the unit’s success on the battlefield.

Physical Abilities

Coming from a commoner's background, Kan To is used to manually labor and heavy working even before he joined the military. He was chosen to join the Hi Shin Infantry through an extremely severe selection program as he displayed formidable stamina and tenacity. However, after countless training drills and battles, Kan To and his peers have acquired unwavering strength and slowly have been forged into soldiers on par with any elite infantry corps, surpassing the quality of infantry units belonging to the Gaku Ka Army and the Gyoku Hou Army.
