Like Hongo, Ichimonji seems to require no food or water whatsoever. However, Hayato was rescued by Hongo before being brainwashed, and fights against Shocker during Takeshi's absence.
Originally created to best and kill the traitor Takeshi Hongo, Hayato was modified to be capable of transforming via stylish hand positions to absorb wind power as opposed to Takeshi's need for a outside source of wind power to charge him, becoming a more versatile fighter as a result.
