Yanagi Emiko
				Knife Fighter-
			Emiko’s style is base around the Nepalese knife the ghurka kukri, a 12” long curved blade.  She likes to get up close and personal with her opponents, trying to do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible.  Her first method of attack is to attempt to seduce her enemies with her female charm and disarm them that way.  If that fails, she will move in with her ghurka kukri.  She aims for the throat, the head and the loins.
		History-
			Emiko’s mother was a prostitute in Fukuoka since she was a child.  When her mother was seventeen, she was impregnated by a wealthy businessman named Yanagi Tasuku, who ran Tasuku Industries.  When Emiko was born, her father took her from her mother within days of her birth. From her birth till she was ten, she stayed in Tokyo with her father, learning the ins and outs of all things relating to business practices.  When she turned ten, Tasuku realized that his daughter would always be questing for her mother, no matter how many times he told her about the death of her mother.  Because of this, Tasuku sent Emiko away to a boarding school in Britain. During her time in Britain, Emiko traveled to a variety of places across the globe, including India, where she visited a Nepalese military unit and fell in love with the ghurka kukri.  When she turned fourteen, her father took her back to Japan to keep a close on her remaining schooling. When she returned to Tokyo, a long time friend of Emiko’s, Akera Juri, who was her father’s ‘friend,’ accidentally hinted that her mother was still alive.  From that point on, she became obsessed about her mother.  Her father tried to ‘convince’ her otherwise, and it only fueled Emiko’s zeal to discover the truth about her and her mother. She left her father in Tokyo at the age of sixteen and hit the road, trying to hunt down her mother.  Angered by her supposed act of betrayal towards the family honor, Tasuku ordered a death mark to be placed on her head before his businessman reputation was ruined by the knowledge of his daughter’s mother got out.  After barely surviving an attack by gang members, Emiko went to the Toudou Gakuen to sharpen her fighting skills and to hopefully find clues to her mother and the circumstances around her birth.
