Okoi
Okoi was chosen to be one of ten ninja to represent her clan of Koga Manjidani against the chosen ten of the rival Iga Tsubagakure clan.
Tomboyish and energetic with a well endowed frame, Okoi (in a manner similar to Rurouni Kenshin's Makimachi Misao, Naruto's Sakura Haruno and Soul Calibur's Taki) represents the popular concept of the kunoichi while Akeginu and Kagerou both embody the more historically traditional version. She shares a deep bond with her older brother Kisaragi Saemon and is one of the few people who can make him smile. In the anime, Okoi also has a strong friendship with the normally unapproachable Kasumi Gyoubu whom she often goes with to hunt wild boar in the forests surrounding Manjidani.
Although a capable fighter, Okoi is not opposed to using her considerable sex appeal as an asset to lure men into a state of false security, if she has to. For once they make the mistake of physical contact, Okoi is able to adhere her skin onto her opponent's and then absorb the other's blood into her own body, leaving her enemies as dried up husks. Upon completion, Okoi must then vomit out the excess blood before she can use the technique again. As more contact with the enemy equals faster blood drain, she is dressed in a more revealing manner than the other kunoichi with a hip-length sleeveless kimono and shortened hakama that somewhat resembles the memorable Daisy Duke!
