.. Aoi Umenokouji
(LAST UPDATE: 1/1/2009)

....

GENERAL/STORY:
Aoi is a student from Japan who's fighting style is Aiki Ju-Jutsu. She joined the tournament to test herself, like her childhood friend Akira. She enjoys Japanese paper fan dancing and her hobby is ikebana.

She is the eldest child of a dojo owner in Kyoto. Her father and Akira Yuki's father are old friends and as children, she and Akira would spar against each other. After seeing him compete in the tournament, she resolves to enter it herself and prove her fighting ability. Two games later, she gets a rival (or possible secondary love interest) in Italian kickboxer Brad Burns.

REVIEW:
Seems like we've seen this design before a few times already... *cough* Kasumi... Hokuto. But even though she's somewhat unoriginal, her simple and traditional design fits into the VF series. She looked a bit awkward in her original VF3 appearance, but her later design balances out her series nicely with a cool defense-based fighting style.
