History
Kshin is an orphaned Asian boy adopted by Mandrake the Magician, who is training him as his apprentice. As the youngster of the Defenders of the Earth, he is always trying to prove he is worthy of being a true hero. His country of origin was never specifically identified in the series. Kshin has a pet alien called Zuffy—an orphaned Zuffoid found by Rick Gordon on the planet Mongo.
