Kristoff Van Bradford is an actor, martial artist, and the owner of Komodo Dragon Karate Dojo.

Physical appearance[]

Kristoff Van Bradford is a middle-aged white man with long curly blonde hair with bangs, black eyes, tan skin, and a muscular figure. He wears a torn black sleeveless karategi with a red belt.

Personality[]

Kristoff has an egotistical and prideful nature. It is not enough for him to defeat others, he must absolutely humiliate them. He has little integrity when it comes to obtaining victories, willing to cheat during a match despite agreeing to hold a rule-abiding fight.

Kristoff pushes his students to the limit with an strict attitude to ensure they can win, but he only cares about his pride instead of his students' mental and physical health.

History[]

Sometime after the disappearance of Lou Jitsu, Kristoff began to take over the Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu Dōjō to plant his own Komodo Dragon Karate Dojo in their place. Kristoff debuted in "Fists of Furry". He entered the final remaining Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu to confront whoever stood up to his students while they intimidated the Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu students. Kristoff was challenged by Splinter (who was under his teenage human alias Randall) and April O'Neil to a fighting match to decide who will have ownership over the last Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu. Kristoff agreed to the match, but demanded Splinter be excluded from fighting due to his height not meeting the competition requirement. Once it was finally time for the match to take place, Kristoff allowed Splinter to choose a student of his to oppose April, to which he chose Frank. Later on in the match, Kristoff denied Frank and April from agreeing to tie after Frank injured his hand and he instructed him to instead use the amplified strength the komodo dragon Yōkai bestowed to win the competition. However, Frank forfeited the match after April threatened to use the Seven Deadly Vipers technique, much to Kristoff's displeasure. He then tried to defeat April himself, but his attack was countered by Splinter and Kristoff collided with the Yōkai's crate. Kristoff allowed himself to receive a bite from the Yōkai, magnifying his strength to defeat Splinter and April, but he was struck through the arena alongside his Yōkai by Splinter and April's use of the Seven Deadly Vipers.

Abilities[]

  • Karate: Kristoff is trained in karate and is a brutal and ruthless combatant.
  • Komodo power: Kristoff gained magnified strength and constitution after being injected by the venom of his komodo dragon Yōkai.

Relationships[]

Friends and allies[]

  • Komodo students: Kristoff's students are very loyal to him and parrot his opinions on Lou Jitsu and Kristoff's merciless attitude towards fighting.
    • Frank: Kristoff coached Frank as he competed against April for the final Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu and encouraged him to cheat using the power of a Yōkai.
  • Komodo dragon Yōkai: Sometime before the events of "Fists of Furry", Kristoff found a komodo dragon Yōkai with venom that enhanced the strength of those it bit. He captured it and put it in a crate. The Yōkai became Kristoff's inspiration, naming everything he owns "Komodo Dragon".

Enemies[]

  • Hamato Yoshi / Lou Jitsu / Splinter: Lou Jitsu was a rival celebrity to Kristoff. He regards Lou Jitsu as a now-irrelevant person who was never successful in the first place as well as a whiny bellyacher and scene-stealer. After his disappearance, Kristoff chose to take over his dōjō with his own. He unknowingly encountered him again in "Fists of Furry" and was challenged by him to a fighting tournament for the ownership of the final Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu.
  • April O'Neil: Kristoff refused to allow April to call a draw and later tried to attack her after she won the match, but was bested by her after she attacked him with the Seven Deadly Vipers move.
