Ninja Ku

Kyle Eubanks was born in Los Angelos.  He grew up in front of the television and he lovd movies.  He was especially  captivated by martial arts movies as a child and begged his parents to enroll him in classes.  He stuck with the classes throughout his childhood and teen years.  At the age of 18, much to the dismay of his parents, he struck out to make a name for himself in the movies.  His first agent marketed him as Kyle U., the Urban Martial Arts Master.  He never made to the big time as Kyle U. and searched for a new agent.  He was then given a new childhood as a poor black orphan raised in Japan.  He was called The Ninja KU and he was told not to speak and he was played up as knowing only Japanese.  While that gig didn't last the name did stick.  He had his naem officially changed to Ninja Ku and began hanging around stunt men on movie sets.  He eventually got some bit parts as fight extras and he did alot of stunt work.  He made a little money but he wanted more. 

He was ecstatic after he co-starred in his first and only movie, Harlem Ninja.  The movie bombed and he fell into a deep depression.  His career was over before it got started and he considered suicide.  But their seemed to be one fan who introduced himself as Fred.  Fred liked Ninja Ku and offered him a position as a bodyguard.  The day the Crimson Guardsman arrived at Cobra Island with a bodyguard was the last day he came to the island.  Cobra Commander shot the CG on the spot and asked for one reason not to kill Ninja Ku.  When he didn't have an answer, Slice and Dice were ordered to take him down.  Ninja Ku fought the two men to a standstill and impressed Cobra Commander.  The Commander offered Ninja Ku a spot on his personal protection force.  Suddenly Ninja Ku was in a position to have whatever he wanted and he took advantage.

With his former failures, Ninja Ku could see when things were going badly.  He saw the downfall of Cobra approaching so he gathered his riches and deserted Cobra.  He went to hide in South America where he planned to live out the rest of his life with the money he had from his days in Cobra's employ.  Ninja Ku had developed a taste for the finer things in life and his money quickly ran out.  He heard of a faction of Cobra operating in South America and decided to offer his services.  He found the Estrela family and introduced himself.  They had heard of him and he convinced them that he was sent by Cobra Commander personally to help out however possible.  After his stories of bravado as Cobra Commander's personal bodyguard, Mr. Estrela took him on as his protector.  Now back on the money making side of things he has it made as long as he can steer himself away from any meetings with Cobra Commander.
