Introduction

---

Hayato is the Fiery hot-blooded PE teacher of Taiyo Highschool. Readily dealing out the toughest of challenges to Taiyo's student body, Hayato isn't afraid to (sometimes literally) beat his students into shape. While not originally playable in the initial arcade release of Rival Schools: United by Fate, he first became playable in the home console port on the Sony Playstation. In his (non-canonical) ending, he's shown setting out alone to investigate the recent kidnappings, and secretly defeating Hyo before Batsu, Hinata, and Kyosuke even manage to find Hyo's whereabouts. He leaves a failing letter mark on Hyo's forehead and leaves; a job well done. In Project Justice, he teams up with Hideo to rescue a then kidnapped Kyoko who he (not so secretly) has feelings for, despite being well aware of Kyoko's engagement to Hideo following the events of Rival Schools: United by Fate.

Much like Hayato's personality, his game plan is hard-hitting and straight to the point. Many normals with fantastic range give him extremely effective footsie tools, as well as having one of the only 2s that are confirmable into full combos; a rarity among the Project Justice cast. With his fantastic poking tools,effective mixups into throw from light pokes.Hayato is a strong pick for any team composition.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Normals have excellent range: Long reaching normals that can be hit confirmed into target Combos or into supers for high damage output. 2 low starter with good meterless combo potential; a rarity in Project Justice. Kendo stick normals can reflect energy projectiles back at opponents. Can bully opponents mashing or throwing out alot of attacks with Armored special moves. Having access to armored special moves is extremely rare in Project Justice.

Some long-reaching normals are susceptible to being easily TC'd. Likewise, he doesn't have the best tools out of his own successful TC's. Will rely more upon confirms into Follow-Ups out of continued pressure or mid-range pokes.
