Ryoma Kudokawa

Ryoma Kudokawa, 20, is a zaibatsu heiress. The Kudokawa family began as kimono merchants and, over generations, grew into a conglomerate spanning department stores, fashion and art investment, and she is one of the candidates to inherit it. She studies fashion design at the Tokyo University of the Arts. The family's roots are in Kyoto. This year the group opened a new flagship store in Ginza, and her mother has her living above it for the year to learn how the store is run.

She is 161 cm and slight, but much stronger and quicker than she looks. Her long, straight black hair is swept back under a black hairband, leaving her forehead bare, and her pale skin has a rosy tint. Her eyes are the first thing anyone notices: slightly upturned at the corners, they shade from pink to purple. She knows exactly how striking they are, and when to look straight at someone. Day to day she wears a black kimono printed with pink cherry blossoms and a deep purple obi, as the face of the store. When she goes out to do parkour at night, she changes into black and blue athletic shorts and a sports top.

She lives in the apartment above the store with a housekeeper her mother sent along. By day she helps customers choose kimono and goes to class. At night, once the housekeeper is asleep, she slips out the back door and runs across Tokyo's parks, rooftops and old streets until the early hours.
