==Story==
Hotaru is the daughter of a family of martial artists, but detests violence in any form. She refrains from hurting others, which prompts her to utilize the gentle side of Chinese Kenpo; the Juu-kei style. However, after her mother's death, both her father and her older brother were missing from her home. She enters the "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" tournament due to believing that her brother is there. In her ending, she finds Gato and claims that he's her older brother. 
==Personality==
Hotaru is a calm and cheery girl, who was traumatized by paternal abandonment. Presenting herself with cheerfulness and an easygoing personality, Hotaru has a tendency to hide her anxieties and worries, which can make her depressed. She still has high hopes that her family will be united again.
Although it is highly implied that Gato is possibly her missing brother, nothing officially states that this claim is true. Itokatsu seems to warm up to him and Hotaru declares that he is based on woman's intuition. However, if this scenario is true, then Hotaru knows nothing about why Gato left their home or the real reason behind her mother's death.
== Abilities ==
Hotaru fights using internal Chinese martial arts, known for their soft motions. Many of her movements are graceful and she relies much more on ki-based attacks. She uses the styles of Taijiquan, Baguazhang and others, especially in later games where she gains a variety of different stances.
