Mamiya

Mamiya (マミヤ) is a playable character in Hokuto Musou who is a supporting character in the original series. On her 20th birthday, her village was attacked by Judah. He killed her parents in front of her and kidnapped her to be one of his pets due to her beauty, engraving the "UD" scar on her back. Though she was able to fight her way out, the incident left her scarred by her own weakness. Since then, she forsakes herself as a woman and decides to be a warrior. In time, she becomes the leader of her village and coordinates the defense of her home with the other residents. She shares a startling resemblance to Yuria.

To deal with the Fang Clan bandits, she hires Kenshiro and Rei to protect her home. At one point, the leader of the Fang Clan holds her hostage and forces the two men to fight for her safety. She helps rescue Irie and earns Rei's affections. Torn by her past and too ashamed to accept his feelings, Rei uses his last moments so that she will always remember him. Mamiya, in grief that a dying man would die for her, comes close to death once Judah returns to her village. With Rei's sacrifice, she survives and follows his wishes to accept her womanhood to live a long and happy life.

Illusionary Mode
Realizing that a huge army is amassing to capture Yuria and use her powers for their own gain, Mamiya decides to support Kenshiro's search for her. Simultaneously concerned with protecting the people within her village from the likes of Raoh, Judah, and Souther, she is determined to drive back the opposition.

Fighting Style
Though she can defend herself with basic kicks and punches, Mamiya mainly fights with a pair of bladed yoyos in the comic. She mainly uses a crossbow and other handheld weapons in the game, referencing the moment in the comic when she boldly shot an arrow at Raoh. Her unique ability in the game is the ability to crawl through small areas, letting her access other areas of the map. As she is the only female fighter, the producer notes that they took care to make her "powerful and sexy".

Techniques
All of Mamiya's techniques are game original moves.


 * Vulcan Arrow - Mamiya brings out an additional crossbow and shoots several arrows at her foes at once.
 * Windmill - Mamiya brings out a bladed yoyo and spins it in the air around her, eventually having it perpetually spin as she tosses it above her head.
 * Hyakka Ryouran (White Flower Binding Chaos) - Mamiya's Legendary Technique. Mamiya shoots several yoyos at once. As they hit enemies, the yoyos latch onto them and continue to spin up to their necks. Upon reaching their necks, the yoyos decapitate their targets when she snaps her fingers.
