## Backstory

She was born into the Hashimoto clan which on her tenth birthday was slaughtered by her older brother Hashimoto Kenji. Having nowhere else to go she and her younger brother Akira were sent away to the other side of Japan to protect them from Kenji who claimed all of the family’s fortune leaving them poor and homeless. Kyoko made a living as a waiter but the money brought in wasn’t enough to support her and her brother. Soon she started to rob her customers. Only the ones who were rude to her or other customers. The little crimes started to get bigger and bigger. Eventually, she would start to break into people’s houses and take the most expensive things in town, leaving anyone who tried to stop her either dead or insane. Because of her crimes she built a name for herself, no one knew what she looked like so she just went by Karma’s Ghost. She only robbed those guilty of crimes that no one was willing to convict them for. She never had any friends so she never had an alibi, but she was never suspected so she saw no reason to make friends.

One day at the age of fourteen she met someone. She had been robbing a house of an abuser when she heard someone pleading for help. When she went to investigate she found a girl her age locked in her room. She had bruises and cuts but all of them could be hidden undershirts and jeans when needed. They grew close and she became her only friend. Eventually, Taro convinced Kyoko to try dating, and so she found a lovely dude named Tokutomi. Tokutomi was a close friend of Taro so they would always hang out. Taro always aspired to be Japan’s number one hero, but she never put the pieces together and realized Hashimoto was Karma’s Ghost. Taro became obsessed with finding out who Karma’s Ghost was but she kept it a secret from Kyoko. One day Taro had an anonymous tip saying that Karma’s Ghost was going after one of the wealthiest men in town. He was accused of over fifty crimes, mainly fraud, money laundering, bribing of federal officers, and illegal slave-owning. Upon locating him Taro found Kyoko with a gun to his head confessing to all his crimes. When Taro called out for Kyoko to stop she shot two times one hitting her head the other her heart. The last thing Taro said before passing was Karma’s Kyoko.

After Taro’s death, everything went downhill. Kyoko broke up with her boyfriend Tokutomi. She said he reminded her of Taro. Having lost her first friend Kyoko went into a rage taking confessions and lives as if they were crops to be harvested. After every last person was killed she found no peace, she found no hope, nothing. She decided she needed to leave. Kyoko said goodbye to Akira and Takutomi and moved to England. Where she wanted to start a new life. England, however, was not the answer so she went back to trying to eliminate all of the corruption in it. This time letting the world know that it was her leaving behind her new signature which was renamed Karma’s Ghost to Nagé meaning sorrowful in Japanese.
