Description
Kaori Yanase is a 19-year-old computer technician from Chiba Prefecture, Japan, born on September 7th with blood type O. She stands 159 cm tall, weighs 45 kg, and has measurements of 84/58/87. Educated at a private women's junior college, she is also a lifelong practitioner of taekwondo, having trained since the age of three.
She entered the V.G. tournament to test her abilities but suffered a humiliating defeat in the final round at the hands of multi-time champion Reimi Jahana. This loss ignited a dedicated training regimen focused on one day defeating Reimi, though Kaori bears no ill will toward her, viewing the challenge as a necessary path to growth. After her defeat, she began working as a computer technician for the Jahana Group, eventually becoming Reimi's second-in-command.
Gentle and polite by nature, Kaori consistently greets opponents with respect and uses honorifics like "san" regardless of age or status. Her analytical approach to combat involves using a portable computer to gather data on opponents' strengths and weaknesses, and she often advises them to withdraw based on her analysis. Outside of fighting, she enjoys working with personal computers, playing the violin, and favors hot springs and ice cream. She dislikes sloppy people and raw fish.
Her fighting style is exclusively kick-based, utilizing taekwondo. Special attacks include Ressenshuu, kicking a projectile at an opponent; Enkenfu, a jumping kick with variations in hit count; Rasengeri, a descending corkscrew kick; Shuugeki, a head stomp from above; Sanshuu, a throw involving repeated knee strikes; Ryuurentai, a command throw with knee strikes and a mid-air kick; and Retsuzandou, a rapid-fire string of kicks ending with aerial stomps and a final kick.
In expanded narratives, she investigates the Jahana Group's manipulation of the tournament and the exploitation of defeated participants to better understand Reimi's motives. She maintains her polite demeanor in interactions with newcomers like Tamao Mitsurugi and encounters a mysterious online user named "HIRO" who possesses confidential V.G. tournament data, much to her surprise.
Her surname, Yanase (梁瀬), combines the characters for "beam" and "swift current" or "rapids." Her given name, Kaori, often written as 香 or 香織, can carry meanings related to "fragrance" or "fragrance weaving."
