“The daughter of a high ranking noble family, Asako Yamaoto was brought up at the pinnacle of wealth. She was powerful, pristine, perfect to all those who saw her. Until the day her family was cast down and disgraced, their names dragged down into the pits of the city they ruled over. After this violent coup, Asako was left permanently scarred and crippled, only able to move thanks to advanced technological prosthetics. Now she fights to prove her family’s innocence and redeem their name.”

Yamaoto was designed and created for an art contest a little while back. The theme was Neo-Tokyo and six characters were to be created and submitted. After playing around with several ideas, Asako emerged. I loved the idea of fusing the idea of old traditions with the constant advancement of technology. Out of the six characters, Asako was the biggest proponent to that idea, as I wanted her design to carry a sense of Feudal Japan upon her yet still be easily recognizable as Sci-fi.
