Appearance: tanned and extremely toned for her otherwise petit size, Okumi tends to wear a kimono or simple jeans and t-shirt around the halls or outdoors. In the ring, she tends to dress as pictured, out of simple sashes and fundoshi and going barefoot. Her hair is cut very short except for a long ponytail that she winds up behind her head.

Past: Okumi was orphaned and raised by a stern old martial arts master in the mountains of Japan. Unsure of how else to bond with her, he worked with her through martial arts since she could walk. It became her life, the only contact she had with passing students and locals who were a long hike away. She felt content with her life of study, unaware of much of much else in the world. A fire eventually occurred to her dojo/home, the young girl and the old man unable to douse it themselves and leaving them without a place to stay. The master took her to the city, hardly living there for a few months when her master, for her birthday, used a small fortune he had invested to buy her own apartment, to do as she pleased with “as a true woman and a warrior.”
Largely emptying home beyond the bedroom and kitchen to make room for training, Okumi was left to her own devices. She decided to ask locals about the best place to find a challenge, swiftly signing up for the Friction league without much investigation as to what it was about. After seeing a few matches, Kumi refused to back down from any “style” of combat and fought on.

Personality: Kumi is a tough, strong-spirited girl raised to be just that, considering herself nothing but a strong, hearty individual who cannot be broken. Sexually, sheâ€s basically working blind, never knowing intimacy before this league and considering the vagina to be primarily a structural weakness. She is a bit unworldly with some lingo or dialects, and so can be easily confused by “street talk” or sexual terms. It is not to say that she doesnâ€t like it, however, and is slowly allowing herself to have fun as the league loosens her up (in more ways than one). She is very curious in general, and this leads to her learning much in her days in the more modern world. She's extremely honest, outspoken, and morally firm in her ways

Style: Kumi is far stronger than her size would imply, her body honed throughout her entire life into almost pure muscle. Her style is a mixture of grapples and strikes that mainly relies on her agility and control of her opponentâ€s weight and position in quick, hard pressure. Her conventional attack is stunning and simultaneously moving in on her foes with ranged blows until she can move in and land a more affective throw or hold. Her biggest strength is her speed and technique, but her strength and endurance are nothing to be scoffed at, even by larger girls. Her biggest and most blatant weakness is sexual combat, at which she is thoroughly susceptible, highly uneducated, and largely incapable. She finds using weapons or underhanded methods to be truly uncivilized, avoiding it at all costs (though she considers low blows to be fairplay, if not a bit too easy) and finds it unforgivable.


Likes: fitting junk foot into her diet, meditation, a wide variety of music, working out in the nude, camping
Dislikes: foul play, cooking for herself, mice, crueler short jokes
Hobbies: martial arts, martial arts movies, roaming/figuring out the internet

Fun Facts:
-Kumi was trained in the sword, but was taught early on that it was unnecessary for many cases.
-Kumi has made few friends over her stay, and her sex life has managed to stay non-existent when boys misunderstand her invitation to spar at her place
-her master/father was careful to see that she was brought up properly educated, and so is fully literate, well-read, and capable in Chinese, English, and Cantonese.
-personal speculation on her early developing breasts accredits it to her rapid exercise urging her body to grow more rapidly, at least in that sense (her height hasnâ€t decided to catch up, apparently…)
