Sho Hayate

Sho Hayate, also known as just Hayate , is the main character of the Savage Reign series.

He is voiced by the late Kenichi Hayashi and succeeded by Hiroyuki Inoue.

Story
As the lone practitioner of his fighting style, Hayate is determined to show its might to anyone who bears witness. He hopes to one day become a true master, training non-stop and vigorously.
