It isn't until around 2/3 through the series that she finally makes peace with her talent and competes in Judo on her own terms.

* GenerationXerox: As Matsudaira, but they're not related.

* GoldDigger: The reason he [[ultimately fails to gain Yawara's affection]] is he is far too often caught between the feelings he developed for Yawara, and the allure of the money and prestige that staying with Sayaka would grant him.
