Shika

Shika is an execeptionally skilled Yakuza assassin. She is reluctantly paired with pilot Usagi.
Shika was born in Miyazaki in 2212 to a family within the protection of the Aizukotetsu-kai. She was raised from early childhood to be a warrior for the Yakuza.
In 2220 her father was falsely accused of betraying the Aizukotetsu-kai by reporting information to the Inagawa-kai. This had in fact been a plot by members of the Inagawa-kai to frame him for unknowningly insulting one of their members during the filming of an episode of Takeshi's Castle. The Aizukotetsu-kai uncovered the plot and Shika's father was exonerated, but Shika never forgot fearing for his life. When she was 12 years old, she single handedly assassinated the insulted party after torturing him to learn the names of all who participated in the plot. She then began killing them one by one.
She was stopped after four men by a messenger from the Oyabun asking her to stop before she started a war between organizations. She approached Oyabun Ota in person to beg forgiveness, which amused him greatly as he had not demanded it. Though horrified with the gruesome manner in which each conspirator had been killed, he granted her admission into the dojo of his own sensei, a man known only as Shinoda. She was also granted the right to count the men she'd killed as dragon stripes on an irezumi which she began in 2225. She was immediately given numerous opportunity to earn more.
Shika was favored by the Oyabun to assassinate those with whom he was particularly upset. She was ordered to kill the out of control shatei Tsutomu Kobayashi, the traitor Hiroshi Jones, and all the members of the Idoru syndicate. By 2232 she had 35 stripes on her dragon, with a 36th pending for Zuhoor Sedaris. She was only four more shot of a full 40 striped dragon, which few had attained even by their retirement.

When on duty on Ukiyo, Shika encountered Violet. The two fought an exceptionally brutal fight in which Violet was only the victor by merit of a few seconds and a more permanently fatal final slash through Shika's brain. Violet died herself immediately after.
Shika had two swords that could fly, which were controlled by a second link, much like a Tikari.
== Behind the Scenes ==
Shika means "deer" in Japanese. Her partner Usagi's name means "rabbit," making them a reference to Bambi and Thumper, and thus to the James Bond villains of the same names.
