Comment:
The original "nature-friendly 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 wasn't so well known when the Samurai Shodown series first came out, but Nakoruru is now well known throughout the fighting game universe and beyond. The most original part about her is the fact that she fights with her pet hawk.. Along with Galford, fighting alongside an animal was a quite innovative feature of her design.
