Togame


A self-entitled strategist, Togame arrived on the island Yasuri Shichika resides in order to seek his help in finding the final twelve swords forged by Shikizaki Kiki. Her father, Hida Takahito, was actually killed by Shichika’s father, but Togame believes that people who work for love can be trusted the most, which is why she tells Shichika to fall for her. Togame’s real name was revealed to be Princess Yousha.

Soryu Asuka Langley


Shortly after her mom's suicide, Asuka's Japanese-American father quickly remarries Kyoko’s doctor with whom he was having an affair with. Asuka’s defensiveness quickly repels her new stepmother, but the two eventually learn to tolerate one another while maintaining a cheerful facade of a normal family. Asuka proves to be a child prodigy, earning her university degree while still in her teens and becoming fluent in spoken Japanese.

Sekine Shiori


The bassist of Girls Dead Monster, Sekine Shiori tends to abruptly improvise during performances, much to Hisako's chagrin. She likes playing pranks on people just to see the surprised looks on their faces. She plays a G&L L-2000 bass guitar.

Samurai Champloo


When Fuu was still working as a waitress in a tea shop, she was harassed by a band of samurai and Mugen decides to step in to rid of the menace in exchange for food. He instead instigates a brawl, and Jin enters the tea shop amidst the fight. Mugen and Jin get so caught up in fighting each other that they didn’t notice a fire had broken out, fainting from smoke inhalation.

Unfortunately, they awake to find they are charged with the murder of the magistrate’s son who died in the fire, and are sentenced to be hanged. Fuu helps them escape and asks them to travel with her in search of her father, “the samurai who smells sunflowers”.

Saber


Saber's full name is Arturia Pendragon, the daughter of British King Uther Pendragon and Igraine, a former Duchess of Cornwall. During her nativity, her father realized that his subjects would never accept a female as their legitimate ruler and thus decided not to publicly announce Arturia’s birth or gender. She was then entrusted by Merlin to a loyal knight, Sir Ector, who raised Arturia as a surrogate son.

Revy


A Chinese-American born and raised near Mott Street in Chinatown, Manhattan, Revy spent most of her youth as a thief and a murderer. Very little is revealed about her past, but some flashbacks show that she may have honed her skills with firearms by shooting at cans. They have also revealed that her first murder involves shooting an unknown man while using a pillow as a silencer.

Minamoto Chizuru


Now this is interesting.

Not only is the uniform cute, but there is an additional cuteness of… cat ears or fox ears?

I’m tempted to say fox ears, because that symbol she’s making with her hand is a fox, right? And it looks like she has a tail too!

Meiko


On the 24th of July 2003, a CCCD album “History of Logic System” was commercially released and it included a song using Japanese Vocaloids for the first time. The duet song of "Ano Subarashii Ai wo Mou Ichido (That Wonderful Love Once More)" was covered by a prototype of Meiko and Kaito before their release.

Masuda Shizuka


Fiancée of Mizuhara Ryo, Masuda Shizuka is a 10th grader who used her “political power” to transfer herself into the same class as Ryo’s. Shizuka mostly became Ryo’s fiancée because of the Japanese government’s secret childbirth program, but it was later revealed that her grandfather also played a role in the matter. It was fortunate, however, that Shizuka really did fall in love with Ryo as he did with her.

Kamiya Kaoru and Himura Kenshin


After leaving his past as Hitokiri Battousai behind him, Himura Kenshin lived as a wanderer for 10 years before meeting a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru. He decides to help her in defeating a murderer claiming to be Battousai who uses the Kamiya style in fighting, destroying her family’s good name. Upon realizing the gentle Kenshin was the real Battousai, she offers him a place to stay in her dojo.

Hotarubi


Hotarubi embodies the concept of traditional Japanese beauty, with her dark, straight hair and petite, slender form. Although she shares her clan’s hatred for the Kouga, her primary concern is for her fiancé, Yashamaru, another member of the Iga ten. Her devotion to him is so great that the mere suggestion that he’s come to harm is enough for her to react, ranging from an evil glare to feral rage.

Heiwajima Shizuo


Quiet and nondescript when not angered, Heiwajima Shizuo has a very short fuse and, although he claims to hate violence, has incredible strength when fighting. Despite his unrefined fighting skills with road signs, trash cans, and vending machines as his weapons of choice, he is considered to be the strongest fighter in the series. He is also capable of often superhuman parkour moves, a skill he obtained naturally from years of hunting down Orihara Izaya.

Guilty Gear


In the year 2010, mankind discovered an unlimited energy source of incredible power, which they labeled as “Magic”. Despite providing a solution for the world’s energy crisis, wars continued to erupt from all parts of the globe. Eventually, the power of Magic was combined with humans and other creatures creating living weapons known as Gears.

Amane Misa


A famous and hyperactive singer, model, and actress, Amane Misa usually refers to herself in the third person by calling herself “Misa-Misa” to be cute. Despite her hyperactivity, she rarely allows her personal feelings about anyone interfere with Light’s plans, proving her undying devotion and loyalty to him. Like Light, she is corrupted by the power of possessing a Death Note, but she does not wish to become a god and doesn’t lose her original personality.

The Flower card was first introduced in the 10th episode of Card Captor Sakura. It appeared during a sport’s day festival at Sakura’s school because it likes happy occasions. She then proceeded to make tons of flowers rain down and almost buried everyone in the school. When Sakura found her, she danced with her before allowing the new card captor to seal her away.
