Charm Point: The "hold" of her hair
School Life: Went to a different middle school than Asuka, but
during kindergarten and elementary school they were

a school where students seem to stand at a slant, Karina
stood out.
Private Life: Karina's family of three consists of herself and her
two parents: her father, an international pilot, and
her mother, a former stewardess that now manages a
boutique. Her father is tough, but cool and popular.
The nature of his job often keeps him away from home.
Her mother is a self-confident combination of wit and
beauty. Karina is shocked at how her mother can keep such
a tight hold on her father through all his time away and
bring the family together. Both her parents don't have
enough time at home; since elementary school, Karina has
been doing much caretaking at the house. She admits her
one and only best friend is her pet frog named Kero-pyon.
Ever since the summer of her first year of middle school,
when Karina incubated and then hatched him, Karina has been
walking around taking Kero-pyon with her. Kero-pyon is the
only one who eases her mind.

a happy home; She's very household-oriented; the epitome
of the gentle Japanese female. She lives in a middle-class
household. During the exam, she didn't make the private
Ryouran school; instead, she went to a public school,

"O-tearai" (Lit. washing one's hands,

everything she can to someone when she hears that.
She also isn't fond of the name "Wild Girl Kyon-Kyon".

in Japan, Kyoko Koizumi. I guess it's because of
her name being Kiyoko, and it sounds like Kyoko that
she's called such a thing.)

strong people from the metropolitan area's schools and city
dojos as opponents and kept racking up the wins, but after 99

Ryouran Girl's Institute, her opponent was Tamaki Shindou. After that
she knew of the Mega Fight; she lost to her opponent, who she knew
was the overall winner. This year, she will enter the Mega Fight

graduates of the Ryouran girl's school go on to do
various activities. He is respected by the students
and viewed as a father figure.
Private Life: As Tamaki's father and educator, looks over and protects his
daughter at school.
End Notes: This didn't take as long as the Rival Schools FAQ did, having remembered
a lot of those kanji I looked up from translating that. Well, hope you all enjoy,
I might add Fumimaro in a future version if enough people want to know about him.
See you around next FAQ!! ---- Batsu
Version 0.2: Well, now having played the game (and surprisingly, through its simplicity
it's pretty good!) I needed to make a few adjustments. More to come! --Batsu
Version 0.3: Just got Tetsuko and Genichirou... and they kick butt! ... but man,
20 hours of game play. Those who have the game remember to save it every time
you play it! Whew. Well, catch you later. I'll probably add Fumimaro in the next
version.
Version 1.0: Added Fumimaro... that guy's kinda weird, isn't he? Heh. Well... hope
you all enjoyed it... if any new translations need to be made, I'll make them
sooner or later. This is Ichimonji Batsu the Hot-Blooded Transfer Student signing
off!
Version 1.1: Updated my E-Mail address. I've gotten a chance to play Asuka 120% Final,
and for the PS users, it's pretty good. Adding the coolest things about the Saturn
version (Limited), and even letting you use Ichiko! She's cool since she's the "Dan"
of the game. But nothing really new as far as characters are concerned.
Version 1.2: Dang, it's been a while since I've done one of these updates. Needed to fix
some shaky, shaky translations, and some other tidbits I found out about the characters
(Kiyoko especially). What possessed me to put in another update? Well, there's a page out
there with an older version of my FAQ being used (at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bridge/
7475/index.html), and I thought "Whoa... that FAQ needs some work!" Enjoy!
