Hibana

==Summary==
Hibana is one of heroes in the Shinobi series created by SEGA, first debuting in her own game Nightshade. Like her relative Hotsuma, she is a government-employed ninja who was born to a branch family of the Oboro lineage, but due to being a girl, she was not allowed to vie for leadership of the clan, and was put up for adoption at an early age to a branch of the Oboro. She was then abandoned by her former mentor Jimushi and now works for the government, being tasked with the elimination of members of the Nakatomi Corporation, which has unwittingly unleashed hellspawn upon futuristic Tokyo. Hibana is also ordered to recover the shards of "Akujiki", the legendary cursed sword that Hotsuma used to seal the hellspawn the last time.
