Street Fighter EX/Hayate

Tradition speaks of a legendary swordsman at Kukunochimura, a village hidden at the mountain recesses. Once upon a time, a storm called "Orochi" (Giant Snake) suddenly came to the village, causing a flood and covering the sun light. The villagers began offering a young maiden to whomever calmed the wrath of the Mountain God. A lone swordsman came to the village. The lone swordsman defeated Orochi by himself and saved the village. However, the swordsman vanished, never to return. And as the days went by, Hayate was born.
