"Let's take out Mc-cg- Mc- Mg-.. Ugh, KILL HER!"

Yamato is a mysterious samurai with a long katana and a variety of close-quarters burst damage options. Her power slash lets her deal a sharp chunk of damage to enemies from a distance, while her close-range crimson slash keeps her healed up for battle. If she needs to get even closer for face-to-face combat, she'll throw a grappling hook at an enemy for a flying strike. And if she wants to become the center of attention, she can cheat death with her red-tinged shadow transformation, making it impossible to take her down - at least for a few seconds.

Bio

Yamato

Delivers charged attacks with finesse

Yamato uses precise strikes to decimate her rivals. However, such damaging attacks often leave her exposed, so she needs to make every shot count.

Background

A Fate's Tale

Untranslated:

犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれたカオリと兄のヤマトは、父の死後、セブンスムーンの運営を引き継ぐ運命にあることをずっと自覚していた。彼らは何年もの間、二頭体制で組織を運営し、利益と成功をもたらし、アメリカへの進出も計画していた。

計画は単純だった。カオリは日本に残って国内を統制し、ヤマトはアメリカに渡り国際的な拠点を作るはずだった。兄妹にとって不運だったのは、カオリが日本で指揮をとるという計画を快く思わない部下たちがいたことだった。

反逆は迅速かつ暴力的だった。ヤマトが命を犠牲にしてカオリを守ったおかげで、カオリは一握りの部下たちと共に日本からアメリカへ逃れることができた。

アメリカに到着したカオリとその一行を迎え入れたのは、ヤマトを出迎えるはずの人物だった。その男は日本人の名前には馴染みがなく、カオリのことを「ヤマト」と呼んだ。カオリは間違いを正そうかと思ったが、兄を記憶に留める最善の方法は、自分がヤマトの名前を受け継ぎ、彼の夢をかなえることだと決意した。

Translated:

Born into the family of a crime boss, Kaori and her older brother Yamato have always known that they were destined to take over the management of Seventh Moon after their father's death. They ran the organization as a two-headed organization for years, with profits and success, and plans to expand into America.

The plan was simple. Kaori was supposed to remain in Japan and control the country, while Yamato was supposed to go to America and establish an international base. Unfortunately for the siblings, some of their subordinates were not happy with Kaori's plan to take command in Japan. The rebellion was swift and violent. Thanks to Yamato sacrificing his life to protect Kaori, Kaori was able to escape from Japan to America with a handful of his subordinates.

When Kaori and her group arrived in America, the person who was supposed to welcome Yamato was the one who welcomed them. The man was not familiar with Japanese names and called Kaori "Yamato. Kaori thought about correcting his mistake, but decides that the best way to remember her brother is to inherit Yamato's name and make his dreams come true.
