"Cardinal, you sick fuck! I did it! I brought him here for you! Now let Ryori go!"

- "Shoekki, pulling a Fitzpatrick"

Shoekki (しょうき, Shouki), pronounced "show-key", is a in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the fourth saga and is introduced in the chapter "Capsule Corp.".

Appearance
Shoekki is a human. He is a 18 year old male. He has long blonde hair, which is wild and dirty. He is tall and skinny but not muscular. He has a small, scraggly beard on his chin, but no sideburns. While never directly stated in the text, Shoekki suffers from insomnia. This shows in that he has noticeable bags under his eyes. His frequent smoking and drug use has lead to his face also looking much older and more worn than should be.

Personality
Shoekki has a rather subdued personality. Being a highschool dropout, he stays around his house or does other unseeable things for most of the day. Shoekki is very big brother-like to Ryori, and he likes to joke and mess around with him. However, Shoekki is still very protective of his brother. He also tries to be a role model to Ryori, but perhaps is not the best suited  for that.

Planet Earth Saga
Shoekki, as the older brother of Ryori, was introduced in the Planet Earth Saga. His actual presence was not all that significant until Cardinal came to town. Because thereafter, Shoekki began to intermingle with Cardinal's lackey, File. Later on in the story, after Cardinal stole Ryori, Shoekki was tasked with finding Ledas. Immediately after, Shoekki found out that File was actually a trap, and killed her. This forfeited his life, and Cardinal soon forced Shoekki to commit suicide in order to save his brother Ryori from a similar fate.
