"*I hate to have to do this, but this is for personal reasons.*"
—**Chiyo's intro quote**
Chiyo is a character from Cyber Cataclysm who is one of the 10 DLCs available for it.

### Inspiration

Chiyo's backstory was inspired off of a scandal that broke loose in 2013 involving Minami Minegishi, member of the J-Pop girl group AKB48. Minami was in scrutiny over dating Alan Shirahama, member of the J-Pop boy band Generations, which was considered taboo according to her contract as a J-Pop idol. It has gotten to a point where she later shaved her head asking everyone to forgive her and for her to return to AKB48. However, unlike Chiyo, who started working for the wrong kind of individuals (Yakuza), Minami was demoted to trainee.

## Bio

## Storyline

"*Chiyo Mayumi was a J-Pop singing sensation. She had alot of adoring fans during her time in the music industry and, like any J-Pop singer, had done music for various Japanese mediums. However, her career came crashing down when she date a male J-pop star, despite it being taboo for pop stars to date so it was in secrecy. News came out in the form of a controversial sex scandal when she and her boyfriend were caught getting ready, and thus she was banned from the J-Pop industry for life.
Chiyo was desperate for a job that she went through a radical transformation that involved shaving her head, though only half of it was shaved as she was halted by a business, who turned out to be a Yakuza member. The man offered Chiyo position as their assassin, though at first she rejected the offer until she changed her mind having remembered being jobless. It was at this moment that Chiyo Mayumi went from beloved pop idol to a reluctant assassin for the Yakuza.*"
—**Chiyo's prologue**
*to be added later...*

"*Chiyo Mayumi discovered that she was performing on stage. She was a very cheerful and optimistic singer as she has started out as being. Performing on stage, she has attracted alot of praise from her beloved fans who always bought her music and had their music on their mobile devices. This was the greatest day in all of her J-Pop career.
However, it was only a dream, as Chiyo woke up in a laboratory in a newly-reconstructed Thesus Inc. that Kariudo, the late Xordok's apprentice, has set up in Japan after both Xordok and Chiyo killed eachother in a duel. Chiyo Mayumi saw what she has become, an emotionless cyborg revived through technology, and devoid of the humanity she once had. Chiyo blamed her post-popstar downfalls on not just the music industry, but also the Yakuza she once worked for, whom the new Thesus Inc. has officially considered their rivals.*"
—**Chiyo's epilogue**
## Trivia

* Chiyo is a naginata-weilding fighter, similar to Seong Mi-Na from Soulcalibur and Hisako from Killer Instinct. Personality-wise, Chiyo is more akin to Hisako, for both have been through a hard life. Chiyo Mayumi was kicked out of the J-Pop industry and started looking for a job with the wrong people, whereas Hisako wants revenge against the people who sabotaged her resting place.
* Chiyo's ending is similar to Kitana's arcade ending in Mortal Kombat X.
	+ Also in the ending where Chiyo has been robotized, she resembles a cross between Green Heart from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory and a borg from Star Trek.
* Chiyo is technically akin to Athena Asamiya from King of Fighters in that they are both Japanese pop singers. The only difference is that Athena is a cheery girl as always while Chiyo Mayumi use to be cheery until she was banned from the music industry.
* Parts of Chiyo's story involving hew former career could be seen as sprite-genius's thinly-disguised social commentary against the certain policy in which J-Pop stars are not allowed to date all just because it would supposedly ruin the fans' fantasies that they are actually singing for them.
