Ko

Ko is a mysterious figure wearing dark armour and a mask. Their name, face and voice are all kept tightly secret, as a prevention against being scried upon. They keep two swords by their side, and have been seen to use magic, particularly to make themselves invisible; one of the swords is the sentient Blackblade Yatsuatari. Ko's manner is short, blunt and uncompromising: no one would suggest that she is a friendly person. She has a deep-seated and passionate hatred for Osamu Miro, and is trying to the extent of her abilities to ruin and destroy him. According to Ko, Lord Miro killed her family, which is what instigated her vendetta. 
Ko first revealed herself to Caelan while he was waiting in the inn in Shizuoka for the others to return from the Spirit Realm. Apparently Ko kept people away and prevented anyone from reporting the wanted Northlander for the extent of his stay; when the others returned, she demanded that they assist her immediately as payment. Refusing to divulge nearly any information, Ko managed to force them into agreeing and teleported them into the basement of the High Command fort in the Hobgoblin Province, intending to use them as a distraction so that they could successfully kidnap Junko Wakahisa.
When Raito, Mako and Caelan inflitrated the underground hideout of the Thieves' Guild and found where Junko was being held, Osamu arrived to trigger the alarms in place. Ko arrived almost instantaneously to fight him, but she was swiftly overpowered by him. Knocked unconscious, Osamu teleported her away. 
She was found under the mask to be a girl named Natsuko Hida. She was kept imprisoned until her sword Yatsuatari was banished, and afterwards she was officially tried for murder, grand theft, extortion, conspiracy and trespassing. She was found guilty and imprisoned for life. Her temperament was always remained violent, delusional and confrontational, and she was quickly moved to solitary confinement, where she spent her days talking to the air and lashing out at anyone who approached. She seemed to think that she could still hear Yatsuatari, and would mumble her name in her rants.
