Rogue Taimanin. The young head of the famed Koukawa family, as well as the clan's only survivor.

After Edwin Black killed her parents, she was taken in and raised by Asagi. She started gaining recognition from the age of 14 after performing well on dangerous missions. However, she disappeared after ignoring orders from Asagi and challenged Edwin Black, which left her with serious injuries to her arms and legs.

After having been missing for a while, she emerged with mechanical arms and legs. Her highly advanced prosthetic arms can move like biological arms, they're powerful and precise like a machine, and have various weapons. Now she's as powerful as Asagi and sows fear as the "Steel Reaper", destroying both human and demon members of the dark side.
