Profile

General:
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.

Comment:
We've seen this design before a few times already... *cough* Kasumi... Hokuto. *cough* Quite unoriginal in terms of looks, but still traditional... At least you can somewhat alter her appearance in the later Virtua Fighters. But overall, she balances out her series with a unique and cool defensive fighting style.
