Art style: Anime.
A close-up over-the-shoulder shot looking past Kai toward Mateo. Mateo is in a low, aggressive fighting stance, his orange belt tied firmly. His face is tight with concentration and raw ambition. The lighting is harsh and direct from the side, emphasizing the texture of his white gi and the sweat on his skin. The background is a blur of dojo wooden panels. The mood is tense and high-energy, with a palette of bright white and warm wood tones.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Anime" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Anime". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Anime" idiom, not in any other medium.
