History:
Kanta was born and raised in an arid region of the Grand Line known as Alabasta Kingdom. His mother died of an illness a few months after giving birth to him, so throughout most of his childhood Kanta lived with his father, a local weapons dealer.
As a young boy Kanta was mischievous and would often get into trouble a lot. He enjoyed pulling pranks on his peers and even adults as well much to their dismay. People around town nicknamed Kanta "the brat" for his childish pranks, a name that followed him well into adolescence. Despite his bad reputation with most of the residents, Kanta had a lot of friends who looked up to him and would often join him in his schemes.
With Kanta's father owning a weapons shop, Kanta was always around a large variety of exotic items. Guns, explosives, and blades were just run of the mill objects to him. When Kanta's 8th birthday came around his father began to train Kanta in the use of various weapons, mainly firearms. He was a keen man and noticed that Kanta often "borrowed" his prized shotgun and tinkered with it. He noticed that his son had an affinity for guns. It was an antique weapon, hardly in shape for use in just about anything. It was a family heirloom passed down from Kanta's grandfather to his father. When Kanta came of age, he'd receive it too.
As years passed Kanta had become a seasoned marksman. By the age of 12 Kanta's name was slowly spreading throughout his desert home as an excellent shot. He was still prone to pranking at the time though he focused more on his training than anything else.
It was growing closer to Kanta's 13th birthday now and he had gotten a lot better with his firearm training, so much in fact that his father felt that he had little else to teach him. He was so proud of his son in fact, that he had the old shotgun refurbished months prior to his son's birthday. He felt that it would be a fitting gift.
On the day of Kanta's birthday a large man walked into the weapon shop followed by many burly men wielding clubs and knives. The large man demanded that Kanta's give all his weapons to him because his pirate crew was running low on supply. Kanta's father refused to give in to the pirate's demands and grabbed the nearest weapon closest to him, the shotgun that he planned on giving Kanta that day. Shots rang out in the shop and a couple of men dropped to the floor. More men quickly filled their place and advanced on Kanta's father with their weapons. When all was done there were several bodies lain throughout the shop in cold blood. Kanta's father fell to the ground after suffering a fatal wound, though he managed to drive off the attackers by himself. He had heard rumors of pirates in the area and protected Kanta by telling him to wait in a secluded area while he dealt with the intruders. After several hours Kanta left his hiding place after everything had quieted down and found his father on the floor of his shop dead with several other bodies of unknown men. Next to him lay his shotgun. Kanta picked up the weapon and held it tightly as tears began to roll down his cheeks. He vowed to get revenge on whoever did this to his father.
As he grew older, Kanta became a Mercenary to have a good source of income. He was forced to close down his father's shop since he wasn't old enough to manage it on his own. As a Mercenary, Kanta become quite popular throughout the area as he was known to take on just about any job complete it without fail. This earned him the name Sunabouzu or Desert Punk, a stem from his previous nickname as the "brat".
He is still a Mercenary today, though knee-deep in debt because of his own greediness. He has a knack for spending money as soon as he gets it, often on things that he doesn't need. He is now a full-fledged Mercenary willing to take on any task assigned to him.
Personality:
Kanta is a very outgoing individual. He can be goofy at times, even on his job. He prefers to be around people, though he has a few less than redeeming qualities. Despite being a people person he lives only for himself. He is extremely greedy and will do just about anything that his job entails for money. Kanta can also be quite lecherous at times as many people who know him would agree that one of his major weaknesses is attractive women. Other than that he takes his job seriously and can be very cunning and quick-witted in battle, often devising plans on the spot to aid his situation.
