## Background

Saya came from Kyoto Prefecture. At some point, her mother taught her about Iadio skills.

## Abilities

Saya was ranked sixth among the Elite Class members. She is classified as a Counter, and is said to be the second strongest. Saya is capable of performing Iaido, thus she utilizes this skill to fight in Keijo.

**Breast-Drawing: Quick-Draw Breast Sword** (抜乳 乳抜刀, *Batsu Nyū Chichi Battō*): Saya's main ability. She uses Iaido with her breast. Saya draws out her breast to strike her opponents down. It's strong enough to take down Hikari Muromachi. However, Kaya Sakashiro easily manages to counter this technique. Taught by her mother, initially Saya only use this skill to fight in Keijo. However, since she uses it too often, her breast began to suffer damage. When Saya uses this technique at its full potential, she is even able to pierce a punching bag. Furthermore, Saya is also able to brutally shave her opponent's hair.

**Beheading Butt Sword** (斬尻剣 , *Zanketsuken*): Due to her breast damage, Saya starts to use butt techniques by the advice of her friends. This technique is started by ambushing her opponent, Saya suddenly assaults them, before catching their face by using her butt. Therefore, by utilizing the opponent she catches earlier as a sword. Saya then throws her first opponent to the other opponent with a great amount of strength, beheading their head. While the first opponent manages to survive, Saya manages to drown the other one onto the ground.

**Butt Punch** (尻ドン, *Shiri Don*): A combination technique she performed alongside Nozomi Kaminashi. When the opponent jumps, Nozomi ambushes them and catches their head. As Nozomi manages to prevent them from escaping, Saya prepares her butt. Nozomi then positions and lands the opponent's head onto Saya's butt, delivering a fatal blow.

**Depth Charge Cherry Blossom Butt** (桜花爆雷尻, *Ōka Bakurai Ketsu*): A combination technique she performed alongside Nozomi. As Nozomi permits her, Saya bumps into Nozomi's boobs, while Nozomi throws her away with enough strength. Saya then lunges at the opponent, while releasing a powerful butt attack. When they try to use it on Kaoru Oshiri, it has no effect, since Kaoru has entered her "Berserk Mode".

**Vacuum × Beheading Butt Sword** (真空×斬尻剣, *Shinkū × Zanketsuken*): A combination technique she performed alongside Nozomi. Started by Nozomi, who accelerates herself. Saya then catches Nozomi in mid-air. The strength of Saya's "Beheading Butt Sword" is passed to Nozomi, and is combined with the power of "Vacuum Butt Cannon". Despite this, Saya can't fully control it, as seen when they first use this against Kaoru Oshiri. As a result, Saya accidentally lets Nozomi away as she losses her grip.
