At the beginning of Love Hina. Motoko has left Hinatasou to
go on a training camp. We do not see Motoko until the third episode when she
returns. In the beginning of the third episode, a scene is shown of Motoko
training. It is there, where we find out she is very skilled in martial arts,
especially budo.
It is raining upon her return to town, she is hit on by Keitaro's friends
and attacks Keitaro. When she returns to the Hinatasou, she is informed about
Keitaro being the new Kanrinin. Motoko says that she will not accept him as
Kanrinin.
After that we are told that Motoko is the heir to her family's budo technique.
It is said that her family created that fighting style ages ago to defend
against demons. As Kanrinin it is Keitaro's duty to familiarize himself with
everyone who lives at Hinatasou. So, he tries to help Motoko who has fallen.
In doing so, he receives Motoko's Succession Technique: Zankusen! Which sends
Keitaro to his doom.
Motoko takes some time to think and the three old men arrive and say its "koi"
(Love). Motoko becomes enraged at the thought of "First Love" and
suddenly faints. She awakens to hear that she was ill. Motoko becomes enraged
at the thought of Keitaro playing with her emotions because she has never
fallen in love before. She decides to challenge Keitaro for the right of being
Kanrinin. After a battle that takes place all over the Hinatasou, she falls
and Keitaro saves her because he is the Kanrinin. It is there she gains some
respect towards Keitaro.
