Character's background

In the 17th century, Japan was threatened to be torn apart by civil war; behind all of it was the warlord "White Beard." Kensei found a sword frozen in the snow. He was not, however, a good enough fighter to wield it, and, therefore, went to see the dragon of Kiso Mountain, who could teach him the sword's secrets. The dragon agreed to do this in exchange for Kensei's love. Knowing that Japan would fall under the rule of "White Beard" unless he took action, he had to agree to the dragon's demands even though he loved a princess.

After saving Japan in a great battle, the dragon came for his end of the deal. The dragon demanded the life of the swordsmith's daughter, the princess Kensei loved. Instead, he cut out his own heart and handed it to the dragon, saying, “My love is in here. Take it," and he died.

According to the documentary "Sword Saint," presented on an official Heroes 360 Web site, after Kensei cut out his own heart, the dragon was touched by how much he was willing to offer for his people and love, and restored the heart to him. Kensei then ran away with the princess.

Takezo Kensei is the historical hero of time-and-space traveler Hiro Nakamura (portrayed by Masi Oka). After teleporting back 400 years to feudal Japan, Hiro meets Kensei in the season 2 opener but is surprised by his appearance and behavior: “English, a bit of a drunk, a bit of a lout, a bit of a rake,” Anders says. *Hiro will end up doing a Back to the Future — that is, help Kensei to fulfill his own history, which apparently includes helping Kensei to realize his own heroic potential.
