REVIEW:
The original nature-loving girl of Samurai Shodown has a very cute and harmless look, but she can hold her own in battle... No doubt a memorable character for her series. She of course wasn't so well known when the Samurai Shodown series first came out, but Nakoruru is now a pretty famous character. 

The most original part about her is of course the fact that she can use her pet hawk in battle... Along with Galford, fighting alongside an animal was a very innovative aspect about her design and for fighting game characters at the time.
