[[caption-width-right:219:The Vile]]
Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy was renowned throughout the criminal underworld for its ruthless spies and vicious assassins - until the school burned down in a terrible battle six months ago. Now, from the old school's smoke and ashes, a new leader emerges. Her followers hail from all corners of the shinobi world, each one proud in her own way to call herself "evil." Their first mission: Hunt down the school's former Elites, punish their failure and betrayal, and restore the name of Hebijo to its former glory.

* AutobotsRockOut: In ''Shinovi Versus'', all of the girls' themes are done in hard rock and heavy metal. While rock music has always been a staple in the ''Senran Kagura'' series, the Hebijo girls stand out the most in that their themes are purely done in rock music.
* BadassCrew
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: By Dōgen. The Crimson Squad frees them though]].
* CatchPhrase: "I dance for the honor of evil!"
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Often on the receiving end of this from the Crimson Squad, especially from Homura, who calls them out on being a bunch of violent lunatics who only claim superiority because of their school.

** EvilGenius: Ryōbi
** DarkChick: Murasaki
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: They kill off the other factions as an act of vengeance]].
* NotSoDifferent: They claim the way of Evil Shinobi is entirely different and superior to Good Shinobi, and the world would be better off without Good Shinobis' weakness. [[GenreBlind They're totally unaware]] this is a perfect mirror of Gessen's philosophy.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Good god. They're pretty much hell-bent on reforming Hebijo that they [[spoiler: disposed of the other three factions to do so]].
* [[ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy Short-Range Girl, Long-Range Girl]]: Ryōbi and Ryōna respectively. Ryōbi's playstyle focuses more on long-range combat, while Ryōna specializes in fighting at close quarters.
* StupidEvil: Invoked [[spoiler:thanks to the brainwashing]]. Their utter dismissiveness of the merits of flexible thinking and ThePowerOfFriendship look more and more destructively narrow-minded as the plot goes on.
* SympatheticPOV: An interesting example. While their story explains why they come off as cruel and ruthless to the other teams, [[spoiler: it ends with them killing all their opposition]]. It's only in the other stories, where they're universally antagonistic agents of the BigBad, that [[spoiler:the brainwashing is broken and they reach an understanding with the other schools.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite a network of familial relationships and childhood friendships, the group don't have any particular sense of unity and some aren't even that loyal to Hebijo itself, leading to more internal bickering than the other teams.

----
* TheAce: She was at the top of her class & managed to become the leader of the new elite squad.
** BrokenAce: She was hospitalized for a year because the Blood Riot powers went haywire.
* TheBaroness: Has sort of the intimidation of the Rosa Klebb type
* {{Badass}}: She's one of the stronger shinobi girls, both story- and gameplay-wise.
* BerserkButton: She will not tolerate anyone bad mouthing Hebijo's image. She'll cut them down in a matter of seconds.
** A lesser extent that's PlayedForLaughs, don't call her a man.
* TheBerserker: The Blood Riot Art made her become one during a mission involving Yōma.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She has BoyishShortHair and is stated to be fairly masculine to the point that she's mistaken for a boy (in spite of her chest) . This gets her [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer so much attention]] that she concludes that the best way to get away from her man-starved schoolmates is to undergo a GirlinessUpgrade.
-->''"All right. It's time to say farewell to my boyish good looks!"''
* BoyishShortHair
* CastingAShadow: Her element, most noticeable with her left arm being covered in dark energy.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Imu.
* CoolSword: She uses a sword what is essentially [[PublicDomainArtifact the Seven-Branched Sword]].
* DaddysGirl: [[spoiler:She is the only one not under Dōgen's brainwashing as her father is the principal of Hebijo Academy and she does not want him to get fired.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Her mother was brutally killed by a yōma in front of her when she was a child, motivating her desire to become a kagura.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:She invoked Blood Riot while her & Imu were on a mission. However, she lost control of her body and soul. This lead to Imu using Blood Reverse.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Miyabi won't hold back on insults. Although, this probably comes from her cold nature.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: To the point where she tries to find a way to be more feminine to get them off her back.
* HellishPupils: Strangely similar to Hikage's design.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Well, "gold" might be pushing it, but she's not the emotionaless bitch the other teams take her for. She's just extremely loyal to Hibejo, the Shinobi code, and [[spoiler:her father, the last of which is being leveraged against the other two to blackmail her.]]
* IceQueen
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nugd7yjW-Mk Machiavellism of Despair]] in ''Bon Appétit''.
* InstantFanClub: The "I Heart Miyabi Militia" is the circle of fangirls that Miyabi has to constantly deal with.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Would pull it off well if not for her bust.
* TheLeader: Of the new Hebijo squad.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJHXAD5li3M Swear to Dougen]]
* LightningBruiser: Miyabi is frighteningly tough. Her high endurance allows her to chase down her opponents, as well as having high offense and attack speed for pulling off long combos. She can also perform very fast launchers capable of sending opponents in the air very quick. Her defense is also very impressive for when she takes a hit. She can actually give Homura a run for her money.
* LimitBreak:
** Delightful Inferno
** Purgatorio of Good and Evil
** Paradiso of the Abyss (''Shinovi Versus'')
** Divine Judgement (''Estival Versus'')
* ModestyShorts
* MulticolouredHair: A flashback picture of her in ''Estival Versus'' shows that she used to have black hair with white stripe of hair in the front.
* OverratedAndUnderleveled: She's a graduate of Hebijo, which in theory should put her on the level of [[BonusBoss Daidoji and Suzune]]. Yet starts at level one and loses fights to actual students. Justified, as she spent a few years catatonic and wheelchair-bound, which did a number on her fitness and skills.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her Ultimate Secret Ninja Art and SuperMode gives her six black angel wings during them.
* RedRightHand: Post-transformation, her left arm is coated in heavy gauze. The only part you can see are her fingers, which are a dark and ugly ''purple''. (It can be hard to notice in the general CostumePorn of her outfit).
* SuperMode: She gains one in ''Estival Versus'', which appears to be a more advanced version of her ultimate ''ninpo'' from ''Shinovi Versus''.
* ThemeNaming: Her Ninja Arts are named after the three canticles of ''Literature/DivineComedy'', of all things (Delightful ''Inferno'', ''Purgatorio'' of Good and Evil, ''Paradiso'' of The Abyss and ''Divine'' Judgement).
* VillainousBSOD: Played for laughs in Bon Appétit. Murakumo proceeds to call her by her secret ninja arts and takes her naming sense to her dismay. It aggravates her so much that she, somehow, manages to collapse into a [[HeroicRROD VillainousRROD]] of all things!

-->''Someone. Someone please help.''
A Second year student and Imu's younger sister. She is very anti social and spends most of her time in her room playing with her stuffed bear plushy, Bebeby. She is known as the first truant in Hebijo's history because of her introverted nature. Due to an incident in the past, her relationship with her sister had been strained. Despite her timid nature, she possesses a dark power called ''Root of Calamity'' that gives her a frightening amount of energy. She also has the ability to sense someone's intentions by smelling them. She also happens to have the largest breast out of all the girls in the series.
Murasaki focuses on close-ranged attacks by manipulating the giant shurikens attached to her hair. With her Root of Calamity power, she can also perform darkness based ninja arts. Murasaki's affinity is darkness.

----
* AbusiveParents: As a child her father pulled her hair when she refused to start her training.
* BadassUnintentional: Her goal is to be left alone, at her room, with her plush. Still, she will stop anyone standing in her way to achieve said goal.
* BearsAreBadNews: Her ninja animal is the Bear.
* BerserkButton: Don't insinuate that Bebeby is just a toy. [[spoiler:Minori]] learns this the hard way.
** When Imu and Murasaki were younger, Imu snatched Bebeby away from Murasaki so she would stop being so dependent her. The end result was [[spoiler: her waking up to see Imu [[CurbStompBattle out cold by her feet]] followed by her father informing her of the [[CursedWithAwesome Root of Calamity power]] she possesses. Stating that by detonating her mental strength, the ninja art increases the power of the body ten times]].
** Another instance [[spoiler: was when a Hebijo examiner came to her room. When he was about to grab Bebeby, her cursed spirit power activated again. When Murasaki came to, her feet were covered by the examiner's blood. It was then revealed to be an [[SecretTest entrance exam]] for Hebijo, which, [[TheseHandsHaveKilled much to her shock]], she passes]].
** Another thing to also take note is that Murasaki thinks of Bebeby as a ''very close'' [[CompanionCube surrogate sister]]. Should anyone, and we mean ''ANYONE'', try to take, steal, or rip Bebeby apart; she will not have ''any'' mercy.
** Long story short, '''[[DoNotTauntCthulhu DON'T DO ANYTHING HARMFUL TO BEBEBY]]'''.
*** Murasaki ''seriously'' does not like hackers. If you just so happen to be one, '''run'''.
* BoobsOfSteel: [[UpToEleven She boasts the largest breasts of all the senrans]], but this is Played with as while she can call forth massive raw strength, she's not exactly a physical powerhouse.
* BrilliantButLazy: She's very capable of being an excellent ninja. However, she would rather play with Bebeby all day and browse the web than actually train.
* CastingAShadow: Her Root of Calamity power allows her to execute darkness based ninja arts.
* CompanionCube[=/=] SecurityBlanket: Bebeby
* CreepyChild
* CursedWithAwesome: The Root of Calamity power she possesses. Sure it gives her a lot of power, but her sister resented her for it.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: She originally didn't want to become a shinobi, but was forced to by her father under the suspicion that she was using her cursed spirit power for her own gain. Soon after, Imu tries to take Bebeby away from Murasaki because she thought it was weighing her down. Because of her cursed power, this resulted in her hurting Imu, killing a Hebijo scout, receiving more attention than Imu, and threatened her own family for trying to exploit her power. She's felt that Imu was resentful of her ever since and would rather be around Miyabi.]]
* ElegantGothicLolita
* {{Expy}}: Bebeby bares a lot of resemblance to the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot, Kumamon.
* GlassCannon: Probably ''the'' glassiest of cannons. She hits hard, but her defense is rather terrible.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Spends most of her time secluded in her room. Her online username is even "cute_shutin"
* HomingProjectile: In ''Estival Versus'', she gains a new Strong Attack which allows her to fire purple energy orbs that home in on her locked target.

* PrehensileHair: Uses spinning blades attached to her hair for her attacks.
* PurpleEyes
* RapunzelHair
* ShrinkingViolet: Very soft-spoken and shy.
* SphereOfDestruction: How her Root of Calamity works. It comes in two forms, her Strong Attack/Breach Art and her [[LimitBreak Mid-Level Hidden Ninpo]].
* [[spoiler: TakingTheBullet: She does this for Imu when Ryōbi tries to shoot her. Fortunately, the shot didn't able to hit anything vital, and was able to survive it.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: As described above in brilliant but lazy; she has power but due to her lack of training, it's unrefined.
* VocalDissonance: She's usually soft spoken....right until she gets angry.
* WhenSheSmiles: Usually seen with a [[PerpetualFrowner depressed expression]] on her face. On rare occasions where she does smile, it's adorable.

-->[-VA: MAKO, (Japanese)-]
----
* AnimalMotif: The pig
* AxCrazy: She has absolutely no problem with killing you if you don't hurt her in any way. Not only that, she also has a tendency to unnerve people because of her hardcore masochism. This even makes her sadist sister, Ryōbi, want to avoid her sometimes!
-->'''Ryōna:''' Of course, if you won't hit me OR rub me...then I guess you can die. Yep. I'll need you to die.
* BerserkButton: Ryōna ''will'' finish you if you know anything about Ryōki.
** When her & Ryōbi were witnessing Sayuri send off one of the spirits and saw that she was about to do the same to Ryōki, she mowed down the shinobi Kekkai barrior just to get to her.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her bizarre behavior may be hard to take seriously, but one should never forget that Ryōna is ''deadly''. If she wants to, she can and will kill you without a second thought.

* DanceBattler: Her fighting style incorporates elements of figure skating.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Shared with Ryoubi. [[spoiler:They transferred to Hebijo to exact revenge on Miyabi, who they think was responsible for the death of their big sister, a Gessen teacher, during her mission to kill Miyabi in order stop her from using her power which was feeding yōmas. It was the mission which left Miyabi comatose for years, and during which Rin/Suzune was presumably killed (she was recruited by Miyabi's father).]]
* DissonantSerenity: She somehow finds a way to put on a smile in the most unsettling moments.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Advises the player not to engage in the same act of becoming a tempura like her. Yes. You read that right.
-->'''Ryōna:''' But don't you ever, EVER, try this at home. Even for a trained professional like me, becoming a piece of tempura is highly risky.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Due to her [[DanceBattler freestyle]] [[GunFu shooting]] nature. WordOfGod has stated that her fighting style, as well as design, are inspirations from SwanLake.
* GangstaStyle: She tends to do this often.
* GenkiGirl: A rather unsettling version of this trope.
* GunsAkimbo
* GunFu: Her fighting style also revolves around this.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Because of her fetish, a lot of people tend to avoid her, causing her to grow lonely and wanting to have some one who understands her. That is why she feels so attracted to Haruka, as she is more than happy to satisfy her needs.
* IdiotHair
* JackOfAllStats: To a lesser extent than Asuka. Her stats are pretty balanced in all fields.

* MeaningfulName: It's possible she was named after the [[{{Ryona}} infamous practice of the same name]] in videogames of exacting violence on female characters on very brutal ways. This is made more likely by her being a notorious masochist.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Wanting to see how it feels to be [[TakeOurWordForIt cooked alive, unremorsefully crushes two random mooks as a giant in the OVA]], and her masochistic antics in general make her a likely candidate as one.
* OrgasmicCombat: Ryōna can be a little too vocal about her lust for pain in fighting.
* PimpedOutDress: Her dress is inspired by SwanLake.
* SeriousBusiness: She ''will'' go from a kinky attitude to a serious tone if anyone knows anything about her and Ryōbi's deceased sister, Ryōki. [[spoiler: She disposes of Yozakura when she was on the verge of finding out why they transferred to Hebijo]].

* TooKinkyToTorture: Well she is a masochist after all. During Katsuragi's substory Katsuragi humors Ryōna and agrees to "bully" her by groping her breasts, but soon regrets it when Ryōna ends up enjoying it instead of resisting like she expected.

[[quoteright:173:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senrankagura_death_cram_5036.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:170:The Immaculate]]
The shinobi students of the Gessen Girls’ Academy pride themselves on strict discipline and purity of spirit. Their five Elites are all adopted children of the infamous shinobi Kurokage, who fought to purge all evil from the world. Devoted to his dream, these five noble souls wield their light to burn away darkness – by any means necessary.
!!Related to all Gessen School shinobi:
* BadassCrew
* CatchPhrase: "Sink into the dreams of sleeping souls!"
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:All of them were adopted by Kurokage after their shinobi parents were killed by evil shinobi; hence their unforgiving attitude toward the bad faction, and their initial Knight Templar hostility toward Hanzo for their friendship with Homura's group.]]
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Though he tried to raise them well, the girls never seemed to understand that he was trying to explain that his past worldview was wrong, and decided to take it upon themselves to fulfill his abandoned dream.
* [[FiveManBand Five Girl Band]]:
** TheHero: Yumi
** TheLancer: Yozakura
** BigGal: Murakumo
** SmartGirl: Shiki
** TheChick: Minori
* HappilyAdopted: Everyone who isn't Yumi, his biological granddaughter. Kurokage really cares about his adopted daughters, and they love him back.
* HeroAntagonist
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Due to their Dark And Troubled Pasts, they believe all evil shinobi must be destroyed and that any good shinobi who get along with them lose their right to be called "good". This leads to them wanting to have a world with no evil shinobi, their adopted parent's, Kurokage, dream. At least until they actually see in their storyline that not all evil shinobi are downright evil causing them to rethink themselves.]]
* OrchestralBombing: In ''Shinovi Versus'', all of the girls' themes are this. Which makes sense because each of the girls' themes are [[Main/PublicDomainSoundtrack arrangements of famous classical music]].
** Yumi: Requiem Mass in D minor, by Mozart, and Piano Sonata No. 8 (Sonata Pathétique), by Beethoven
** Murakumo: Scythian Suite Op. 20, by Sergei Prokofiev
** Yozakura: Piano Sonata No. 14 (Moonlight Sonata), by Beethoven
** Shiki: The Four Seasons, by Vivaldi
** Minori: The Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky
* ZettaiRyouiki: In their school uniforms in ''Shinovi Versus'', all girls are Grade A but the socks are so high up into their skirts that you would easily mistake them for wearing ProperTightsWithASkirt unless you view them from a bottom-up angle in the Dressing Room or when they are knocked down and/or have their skirts ripped. However this gets averted in ''Estival Versus'' as the girls really are wearing ProperTightsWithASkirt instead.

For the purpose of challenging Asuka, the granddaughter of Hanzo who is her grandfather's rival, she takes part in Hanzo's "school festival".

* DefrostingIceQueen: While pursuing the signification of Justice during arcade mode, she reaches the conclusion than Justice is Cuteness and decides to dress-up as a MagicalGirl (Puri!). Her transformation triggers an HeroicBSOD from her fellow Gessen comrades.
** [[spoiler: She also loses her KnightTemplar attitude after seeing how Imu was ready to risk her life to save an injured Miyabi after Yumi defeated her and then trading blows with Homura who said that she views Asuka as a rival and how they push each other.

* TheRival: Yumi believes Asuka is no longer fit to become a good ninja for allowing Homura to live.
* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: Seeing how determined Homura is to help Asuka, she asks if the two are lovers. Homura [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend (very loudly)]] says they aren't, but it doesn't stop her from teasing Asuka about it [[ShipTease (who doesn't seem to mind so much).]]]]
* SillyReasonForWar: By the end of the game, she knows the reasons behind her personal vendetta against Asuka are shallows, but as a shinobi she has to fight to the end.

A third year at Gessen Girls Academy & daughter of the Tairo Corporation CEO. Due to her shy personality, she wears a mask to hide her face. With the mask on, however, she becomes ''very'' bloodthirsty. In the event where she isn't wearing her mask, because of her introverted personality and shy nature, she gets very nervous and speaks extremely fast. She will use anything to hide her face (even garbage bags).
Her weapons are a large cleaver and spear. Swinging the cleaver downwards very quickly results in an extremely heavy blow. She also has the ability to summon her pet wolf, Daigoro, along with other wolves, in her ninja arts.

* BeneathTheMask: Pun ''very much'' intended. The rude, abusive girl who wears the mask is actually a ridiculously shy moeblob underneath.
* BerserkButton: If you manage unmask her but she then re-masks herself, she will take revenge on you for doing that.
* {{BFS}}: Her gigantic blood-stained cleaver.
* CharacterDevelopment: In ''New Wave'', Murakumo's newer card art has been showing her going without her mask more and more frequently without panicking or getting nervous. In the ''Versus'' series, however, [[StatusQuoIsGod you can probably expect her to stay cagey]].
* CoolPet: Daigoro and Kotaro are not just her attack animals, they're also her pet wolves too.
* DashAttack / VideogameDashing
* DefeatByModesty: Overlaps with DontLookAtMe. Defeating her always results in her mask being knocked off. At which point, she then lacks any willpower to continue fighting and instead proceeds to hide her face and run away. The most prominent example is when she was about to finish off Asuka in the Hanzo Story in ''Shinovi Versus'', only for Ikaruga to [[BigDamnHeroes come to her rescue]] by swiping her mask off. The resulting reaction was expected.
* DontLookAtMe: She'll usually tell people to do this if her mask is off.
* FamilyHonor: The reason why she was adopted second time was because the head of Tairo Corporation did not have worthy heirs (Murakumo is just a distant relative) and adopted her because he saw Houo Organization do the same with Ikaruga. She didn't take it that well and hated Ikaruga for this.
* FatalFlaw: Taking off her mask in general. She would've killed Asuka if it hadn't been for [[BigDamnHeroes Ikaruga swiping her mask off]]. Without it, she pretty much covered her face and left herself defenseless for Katsuragi to scare her off.
* ForSCIENCE: She tries to get Shiki's support to practice and get some inspiration for the romance bits of her newest manga. Shiki flees for her life.
* GlassCannon / FragileSpeedster
* HugeSchoolgirl: At 172 cm (5'07") tall she is the tallest female playable character so far (not counting New Wave). Slightly taller than even Daidouji, though she happens to look larger as a dramatic effect.
* IconicItem: Her Hannya mask[[note]]A Hannya mask is used in Noh theater and Shinto and Buddhist ceremonial dances. They portray the spirits of jealous women and are used to represent the complexity of emotions[[/note]], which serves as something of an emotional crutch (see Split Personality below). In the New Wave card game, she has an alternate tiger mask that she sometimes carries.
* KnifeNut: Carries a large butcher's cleaver into battle, which she treats as though it were AnAxeToGrind.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP-pzUZsjak&list=UUZe8fFTOngzT1odz5lLEumg Masked Princess]]
* LimitBreak:
** Kotarou
** Kagerou
** Daigorou Cut
* MotorMouth: A symptom of anxiety that arises when she doesn't have her mask.
* PowerupMount: How her [[LimitBreak Ultimate Hidden Ninpo]] works. She rides on the back of a giant white wolf who then proceeds to bulldoze over her enemies.
* RecurringBoss: Is fought a total of ''four'' times in the Hanzo Story in ''Shinovi Versus''. Three times by Ikaruga and once by Asuka.
* ShrinkingViolet: So absolutely, desperately shy that, if she can't have her mask, she'll hide her head with a ''trash bag''.
* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: By Ryobi, in the New Hebijo storyline.
* ShoutOut: Two of her mangas she has written are named [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar "Mask of the South"]] and [[Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep "Do 2D Girls Dream of Electric Toasters?"]].
* SplitPersonality: Rude and bloodthirsty when she has her mask on; puts Hibari to shame on the moeblob race without it.
* TheUnSmile: Pulls one off after the end of her story mode.
* VocalDissonance: With her mask off, she speaks in high-pitched and [[MotorMouth rapid]] tone. With her mask on, she speaks with an affected ContraltoOfDanger.

-->''Kicking is for men and girls with no shame. A real lady knows how to use her fists, and look good doing it.''
A second year at Gessen Girls Academy. She has a very serious demeanor and isn't very good at understanding jokes. She doesn't approve of twisted things, nor things that get out of hand. When she comes across either of these two things her home dialect/accent unintentionally comes out. On both hands she wields special gauntlets that change size and cover her hands and wrist. Heavy blows are her specialty.
She's the oldest of 12 brothers and sisters. With her mother killed during a mission as a shinobi, she had to raise her young siblings by herself. After her father's death a year later, however, Yozakura was separated from her relatives. After escaping, she met with the master Kurokage and he told her, "I'll give you the strength to protect what is important to you." She accepted with the condition that she gets to reunite with her brothers and sisters again.
-> Date of Birth: 5th of April
-> Age: 16
-> Blood Type: O
-> Height: 159 cm (5'3")
-> Measurements: B90, W53, H82 (35-21-32)
-> Hobby: Cleaning

-> Ninja Animal: Wild Boar
-> Weapon: Giant Gauntlets
-->[-VA: Creator/KaoriIshihara, (Japanese)-]
----
* AnimalMotifs: Her ninja animal is the wild boar.
* BareYourMidriff: Her ninja outfit is a kimono-like two-piece ensemble that shows off her belly.
* BoomHeadShot: [[spoiler:How she goes out in Hebijo's story mode, courtesy of Ryona.]]
* CherryBlossomGirl: An interesting, somewhat darker play on the trope. [[MeaningfulName Her name means]] "Cherry Trees in the Evening".
* CloseRangeCombatant
* TheComicallySerious: Couldn't understand a joke if you dangled it in front of her face.
* DontSplitUsUp: The oldest of twelve siblings, who was PromotedToParent after their mother and father were killed in battle. Her desperation to keep her family together led her to become a Shinobi herself.
* DuelToTheDeath[=/=]ICanStillFight[=/=]DeathSeeker: While fighting Katsuragi.
* {{Expy}}: To Kanna Tanigawa from ''Anime/WaitingInTheSummer''.
* ExtremityExtremist: She uses only punch-based attacks, which are in direct contrast to Katsuragi's kick-based attacks.
* GroundPunch: One of her attacks.
* HandBlast: At higher levels of activity, Yozakura's gauntlets start releasing concussive shockwaves. Two of her [[LimitBreak Ninpo]] fire large blasts of energy.
* HiddenDepths: Yozakura is very good at being a caretaker for others. This is evident in her flashback where she's able to take care of her 12 younger siblings all by herself and her role as a mother figure toward the rest of her team. She also ask the Instructor, in New Wave, if he/she has any siblings of their own.
* HumongousMecha: Her new [[LimitBreak Ultimate Hidden Ninpo]] in ''Estival Versus'' has her gauntlets transform into a giant gold-coated robot whom Yozakura pilots inside a glass cockpit, proceeding to punch the living hell out of her enemies with its oversized fists.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Yozakura has very ''weird'' standards; she isn't against groping, so long its done right. The two times she says you can grope someone are behind closed doors with the one you love... or on a mission with unsuspecting guard. Because doing it all the time 'cheapens the whole thing'.
** Also, she states kicking is only for men or uncouth girls; feminine women punch things instead.
* KamehameHadoken: Hell Paradise Ten Thousand Hand Fist
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNPwikdL4TM Floral Freedom]]
* LimitBreak:
** 1,000 Palm Fists of Paradise

** Namu Amida (''Shinovi Versus'')
** Shin Namu Amida (''Estival Versus'')
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has about eleven other siblings, with her saying that she and the rest of her siblings were born in a span of nine years.
* MightyGlacier: Very good offense, but very slow movement and attack speed.
* PromotionToParent: After her mother died, Yozakura was forced to act as a parent to all of her younger siblings. She was demoted when her father died.
* PowerFist: While already devastating, her gauntlets can double in size to fire blasts of energy.
* RapidfireFisticuffs: Enhanced by a pair of PowerFist gauntlets.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Minori's red oni.
* ShapingYourAttacks: The last of her Ninpo releases a giant pair of energy fists that will swing around and smash anything in range.
* TeamMom: In the earliest part of ''Shinovi Versus''' Gessen storyline, there's some friendly dispute between her and Yumi over who the team leader actually is, since Yozakura is clearly this.
* TelescopingRobot: Notice how large her gloves are already? They can grow even larger.
* TrickedOutGloves: She uses giant iron gauntlets to fight (imagine PowerFist meets ArmCannon or PileBunker, minus the spike). [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon She likes her weapons so much]] than she go to great lengths to prove their effectiveness to a skeptical Yumi.
** Not only that, but she also reveals that the weapons were made with a pair of greaves, but she has no idea where they ended up. Go ahead and ''guess'' who's using them.
** Apparently, her previous weapon was the spear.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
* YouKilledMyFather: She shares a more complex variation on this trope with Katsuragi.

A first year at Death Cram School. She speaks like a gal girl and gets into things easily, as well as her ninja friends. She has a lot of friends that she likes to hang out with and won't pass up the opportunity to go shopping. Despite her appearance, she is very studious & IT savvy. Wielding a disc-shaped scythe larger than her body, her flashy attack style involves hacking foes and summoning bats. Shiki also specializes in poisoning her adversaries.

----
* BadassBookworm: Shiki has an obsession towards the Heart Sutra. She also insists on reading Mirai's novel after defeating her, and spares her life so she can finish writing it.
* BeautyMark: On the bottom right side of her lips.
* ButNotTooForeign: [[AllThereInTheManual Official Design Works]] reveal that her mother was Japanese but her father was Romanian.
* CuteWitch[=/=]HotWitch: One half of her Shinobi outfit's theme.
* DumbBlonde: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. She tells Yagyu that "just 'cause I'm blonde doesn't mean I don't notice things, you know?"
* GeniusBruiser[=/=]WarriorTherapist: Shiki has extensive knowledge of many ninja arts and techniques. With that knowledge, she's able to deduce what kind of techniques her opponents possess and how they can use them. Additionally, Shiki's very good at giving her team advice whenever they need it.
* GlassCannon: While she does possess a good damage game, Shiki suffers from having average health and defense.
* GrimReaper: The other half of her outfit's theme.
* HiddenDepths: While some of the girls are definitely this, Shiki runs with this trope. Externally, she appears to be just a very dumb valley girl who loves fashion more than being a Shinobi. As her story is revealed, however, we find out that Shiki is not only very intelligent, she embraces her grandfather's philosophy as much as the other girls, and recites the Heart Sutra as it gives her comfort.

* PlayfulHacker: The IT-savy girl for the Gessen team. Gets owned by Mirai in her arcade mission, though.
* PoisonousPerson: She can inflict a 'Poison' status with her attacks.
* SexyWhateverOutfit: Her outfit is basically a {{Stripperific}} version of a Witch Outfit mixed in with Grim Reaper themes.
* SinisterScythe
* SmarterThanYouLook: More serious than what her looks (a fashion-obsessed girl who loves to play with her friends) may suggest.
* TheSocialExpert
* ThemeNaming: Her Ninja Arts are puns based on different Buddhism sayings.
* ValleyGirl: Of the Kogal kind. She is an outgoing and casual girl who is fashionable, wears more makeup than most of the other girls and can be seen chatting on her cellphone quite a bit, so she qualifies. Unlike most examples however she is not dumb. Look at SmarterThanYouLook.
* VaporWear: Her turnover outfit seems to be made of her bats, completely going nude to summon them all to attack for her in her Ultimate Ninpo. [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Just like Morrigan Aensland]].
* VocalDissonance: Look at Shiki's face. Those sharp eyes, the Beauty Mark, even her transformation showcasing a Grim Reaper theme, her ninja costume which seems to be made of garterbelts only, none of this would prepare you for the voice she has - it sounds like that of a small child.

----
* BadassAdorable
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Sure she's the most childish and least intimidating one of the bunch, and she also has a tendency of playing around more than taking things seriously. However, absolutely none of this makes her a pushover.
* CuteLittleFangs
* DifficultButAwesome: Comparable to Hibari. She has an odd fighting style with short combos, but master her sweet stocking ability and she becomes a force to be reckoned with.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Yozakura's blue

* BadassGrandpa: Both literally and due to age.
* BattleAura: [[spoiler: In Estival Versus, now that his spirit is in the afterlife, his power is back to the level it was in his prime. His sheer aura is enough to bring in a thunderstorm, and freeze the sand on the beach, as well as turn the rain hitting his body to steam.]]
* BizarreTasteInFood: According to Yozakura in ''Estival Versus'', some of his favourite Super Dishes include simmered sea slug Super Dish, pickled starfish Super Dish and live sea cucumber Super Dish.
* TheBet: He gives one to Hanzo on creating a world of nothing but light. [[spoiler:Hanzo says that he won the bet, though in the sense that his adoptive daughters are his world.]]

A group of shaman shinobi formed by Asuka's grandmother and the Mikagura sisters.
!!Related to all Kagura Festival shinobi:
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:The Mikagura Sisters are essentially this to Sayuri. While Sayuri's original plan was to force the shinobi girls into the Shinobi Bon Dance so she can teach them her own beliefs of being a Kagura, the sisters only want to meet a certain shinobi girl they've met in their childhood who died fighting a Youma, and even then, they only participate just to stall time so they can search for her. Keeping it a secret from Sayuri over fears that she may find out about it. Once they do make contact with the girl (sort of), her voice convinces the sisters to pursue their own path to becoming a Kagura, prompting them to participate in the Shinobi Bon Dance more seriously.]]

----
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: She asks each of the girls if they could readily put aside their emotions in order to [[ColdEquation make the best choice]] when in life-or-death situations.
* AscendedExtra: In Burst, Asuka used her name as a threat against Hanzo when he was being perverted at the hot springs. In Estival Versus, she makes a full appearance as a boss character of all things.
* BerserkButton: Do not threat her like she was some old hag unless you want to be blown away by her.
* BlowYouAway: She mainly fights by generating gusts of wind and tornadoes.
* CastFromLifespan: She uses a special Shinobi Transformation which has the unfortunate side-effect of shaving off the user's overall lifespan.
* ClothingDamage: Averted, you cannot tear away her clothes. [[FanDisservice Probably for the best]].
* DualAgeModes: Can transfrom from her old woman self to back to her prime as a young adult.
* FountainOfYouth: She's able to make her appear younger. [[spoiler: Which is contrast to Kagura]].
* FreudianExcuse: She's pretty pushy about the girls learning to suppress their emotions in order to better fight Yoma. [[spoiler: It's thanks to her teammates getting killed by a Yoma when she hesitated while trying to decide whether she should prioritize saving them or killing the Yoma. The Yoma managed to both kill her teammates and escape thanks to her hesitation.]]
* IconicItem: Her pipes; in her old age, she'll ride her giant pipe like a witch's broomstick (side-saddle, even).
%%* MightyGlacier
* NeverMessWithGranny: Keep in mind that this is the same woman who can make even ''Hanzo'' submit to her just by the mentioning of her name alone. Asuka's threatening to tell Sayuri about Hanzo's DirtyOldMan antics [[KnowWhenToFoldEm is more than enough to stop him cold]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She calls the girls naive idiots when they argue against her ArmorPiercingQuestion, but urges them to find their own path nonetheless.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: It pretty much runs in the family.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Downplayed. Notice how Sayuri's clothes echo the color scheme of Asuka's shinobi uniform (yellow shirt, green dress, red ScarfOfAsskicking).

-->''Lame excuses are for babies and if you can’t concentrate well enough, that’s just a sign of how good you really are. I think we know who wins this argument.''
Kafuru is the youngest of the Mikagura sisters. A girl with a selfish and calculating streak, she often speaks to others in a condescending manner, riling them up. Whether it’s through her fluent use of Internet slang or clever use of baby talk, her mockery knows no bounds. That being said, she knows better than to try and adopt those same mannerisms with her sisters, though she is known to tease Hanabi from time to time. She has a chest that’s neither big nor particularly small.
With her ability to use water to her advantage, Kafuru can annihilate a wide area foes. She can even summon her dolphin in some of her ninja arts.

[[caption-width-right:219:The Vile]]
Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy was renowned throughout the criminal underworld for its ruthless spies and vicious assassins - until the school burned down in a terrible battle six months ago. Now, from the old school's smoke and ashes, a new leader emerges. Her followers hail from all corners of the shinobi world, each one proud in her own way to call herself "evil." Their first mission: Hunt down the school's former Elites, punish their failure and betrayal, and restore the name of Hebijo to its former glory.
!!Related to all Hebijo Clandestine shinobi
* AutobotsRockOut: In ''Shinovi Versus'', all of the girls' themes are done in hard rock and heavy metal. While rock music has always been a staple in the ''Senran Kagura'' series, the Hebijo girls stand out the most in that their themes are purely done in rock music.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: By Dōgen. The Crimson Squad frees them though]].

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: They kill off the other factions as an act of vengeance]].
* NotSoDifferent: They claim the way of Evil Shinobi is entirely different and superior to Good Shinobi, and the world would be better off without Good Shinobis' weakness. [[GenreBlind They're totally unaware]] this is a perfect mirror of Gessen's philosophy.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Good god. They're pretty much hell-bent on reforming Hebijo that they [[spoiler: disposed of the other three factions to do so]].
* [[ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy Short-Range Girl, Long-Range Girl]]: Ryōbi and Ryōna respectively. Ryōbi's playstyle focuses more on long-range combat, while Ryōna specializes in fighting at close quarters.
* StupidEvil: Invoked [[spoiler:thanks to the brainwashing]]. Their utter dismissiveness of the merits of flexible thinking and ThePowerOfFriendship look more and more destructively narrow-minded as the plot goes on.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: She has BoyishShortHair and is stated to be fairly masculine to the point that she's mistaken for a boy (in spite of her chest) .

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Her mother was brutally killed by a yōma in front of her when she was a child, motivating her desire to become a kagura.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:She invoked Blood Riot while her & Imu were on a mission. However, she lost control of her body and soul. This lead to Imu using Blood Reverse.]]

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: To the point where she tries to find a way to be more feminine to get them off her back.
* HellishPupils: Strangely similar to Hikage's design.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Well, "gold" might be pushing it, but she's not the emotionaless bitch the other teams take her for. She's just extremely loyal to Hibejo, the Shinobi code, and [[spoiler:her father, the last of which is being leveraged against the other two to blackmail her.]]

* OverratedAndUnderleveled: She's a graduate of Hebijo, which in theory should put her on the level of [[BonusBoss Daidoji and Suzune]]. Yet starts at level one and loses fights to actual students. Justified, as she spent a few years catatonic and wheelchair-bound, which did a number on her fitness and skills.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her Ultimate Secret Ninja Art and SuperMode gives her six black angel wings during them.
* RedRightHand: Post-transformation, her left arm is coated in heavy gauze. The only part you can see are her fingers, which are a dark and ugly ''purple''. (It can be hard to notice in the general CostumePorn of her outfit).
* SuperMode: She gains one in ''Estival Versus'', which appears to be a more advanced version of her ultimate ''ninpo'' from ''Shinovi Versus''.
* ThemeNaming: Her Ninja Arts are named after the three canticles of ''Literature/DivineComedy'', of all things (Delightful ''Inferno'', ''Purgatorio'' of Good and Evil, ''Paradiso'' of The Abyss and ''Divine'' Judgement).
* VillainousBSOD: Played for laughs in Bon Appétit. Murakumo proceeds to call her by her secret ninja arts and takes her naming sense to her dismay. It aggravates her so much that she, somehow, manages to collapse into a [[HeroicRROD VillainousRROD]] of all things!

A Second year student and Imu's younger sister. She is very anti social and spends most of her time in her room playing with her stuffed bear plushy, Bebeby. She is known as the first truant in Hebijo's history because of her introverted nature. Due to an incident in the past, her relationship with her sister had been strained. Despite her timid nature, she possesses a dark power called ''Root of Calamity'' that gives her a frightening amount of energy. She also has the ability to sense someone's intentions by smelling them. She also happens to have the largest breast out of all the girls in the series.
Murasaki focuses on close-ranged attacks by manipulating the giant shurikens attached to her hair. With her Root of Calamity power, she can also perform darkness based ninja arts. Murasaki's affinity is darkness.

* BearsAreBadNews: Her ninja animal is the Bear.
* BerserkButton: Don't insinuate that Bebeby is just a toy. [[spoiler:Minori]] learns this the hard way.
** When Imu and Murasaki were younger, Imu snatched Bebeby away from Murasaki so she would stop being so dependent her. The end result was [[spoiler: her waking up to see Imu [[CurbStompBattle out cold by her feet]] followed by her father informing her of the [[CursedWithAwesome Root of Calamity power]] she possesses. Stating that by detonating her mental strength, the ninja art increases the power of the body ten times]].
** Another instance [[spoiler: was when a Hebijo examiner came to her room. When he was about to grab Bebeby, her cursed spirit power activated again. When Murasaki came to, her feet were covered by the examiner's blood. It was then revealed to be an [[SecretTest entrance exam]] for Hebijo, which, [[TheseHandsHaveKilled much to her shock]], she passes]].
** Another thing to also take note is that Murasaki thinks of Bebeby as a ''very close'' [[CompanionCube surrogate sister]]. Should anyone, and we mean ''ANYONE'', try to take, steal, or rip Bebeby apart; she will not have ''any'' mercy.
** Long story short, '''[[DoNotTauntCthulhu DON'T DO ANYTHING HARMFUL TO BEBEBY]]'''.
*** Murasaki ''seriously'' does not like hackers. If you just so happen to be one, '''run'''.
* BoobsOfSteel: [[UpToEleven She boasts the largest breasts of all the senrans]], but this is Played with as while she can call forth massive raw strength, she's not exactly a physical powerhouse.
* BrilliantButLazy: She's very capable of being an excellent ninja. However, she would rather play with Bebeby all day and browse the web than actually train.

* CreepyChild
* CursedWithAwesome: The Root of Calamity power she possesses. Sure it gives her a lot of power, but her sister resented her for it.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: She originally didn't want to become a shinobi, but was forced to by her father under the suspicion that she was using her cursed spirit power for her own gain. Soon after, Imu tries to take Bebeby away from Murasaki because she thought it was weighing her down. Because of her cursed power, this resulted in her hurting Imu, killing a Hebijo scout, receiving more attention than Imu, and threatened her own family for trying to exploit her power. She's felt that Imu was resentful of her ever since and would rather be around Miyabi.]]

* {{Expy}}: Bebeby bares a lot of resemblance to the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot, Kumamon.

* UnskilledButStrong: As described above in brilliant but lazy; she has power but due to her lack of training, it's unrefined.
* VocalDissonance: She's usually soft spoken....right until she gets angry.

-->''Come on. Spank me. Hit me! Call me dirty names, and then ignore me when I cry!''
A first year at Hebijo. Ryōbi's twin sister and the older of the two. Contrast to her sister, she likes being chastised and scolded, loves showing off her breasts and is a gigantic masochist. She has a freestyle shooting technique mixed with elegant dancing.
Ryōna's affinity is ice.

-> Ninja Animal: Pig
-> Weapon: Quad-handguns
-->[-VA: MAKO, (Japanese)-]
----
* AnimalMotif: The pig
* AxCrazy: She has absolutely no problem with killing you if you don't hurt her in any way. Not only that, she also has a tendency to unnerve people because of her hardcore masochism. This even makes her sadist sister, Ryōbi, want to avoid her sometimes!
-->'''Ryōna:''' Of course, if you won't hit me OR rub me...then I guess you can die. Yep. I'll need you to die.
* BerserkButton: Ryōna ''will'' finish you if you know anything about Ryōki.
** When her & Ryōbi were witnessing Sayuri send off one of the spirits and saw that she was about to do the same to Ryōki, she mowed down the shinobi Kekkai barrior just to get to her.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her bizarre behavior may be hard to take seriously, but one should never forget that Ryōna is ''deadly''. If she wants to, she can and will kill you without a second thought.
* BigBreastPride: Loves to show off her breasts, which are an impressive 98 cm, making her one of the more bustier girls.
* BlondesAreEvil
* CasualKink: Asking people, especially random pedestrians, to bully her? Yes. Enjoys said infliction of pain? Yes.
* CatSmile: Her default expression.
* CloseRangeCombatant
* CombatSadoMasochist: More emphasis on the masochist part.
* CuteAndPsycho: Just look at how adorable she looks with her smile and little tiara....and pistols that are ready to gun you down.
* DanceBattler: Her fighting style incorporates elements of figure skating.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Shared with Ryoubi. [[spoiler:They transferred to Hebijo to exact revenge on Miyabi, who they think was responsible for the death of their big sister, a Gessen teacher, during her mission to kill Miyabi in order stop her from using her power which was feeding yōmas. It was the mission which left Miyabi comatose for years, and during which Rin/Suzune was presumably killed (she was recruited by Miyabi's father).]]
* DissonantSerenity: She somehow finds a way to put on a smile in the most unsettling moments.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Advises the player not to engage in the same act of becoming a tempura like her. Yes. You read that right.
-->'''Ryōna:''' But don't you ever, EVER, try this at home. Even for a trained professional like me, becoming a piece of tempura is highly risky.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Due to her [[DanceBattler freestyle]] [[GunFu shooting]] nature. WordOfGod has stated that her fighting style, as well as design, are inspirations from SwanLake.
* GangstaStyle: She tends to do this often.
* GenkiGirl: A rather unsettling version of this trope.
* GunsAkimbo
* GunFu: Her fighting style also revolves around this.
* GunTwirling: She does this in opening and fighting animations.
* {{Handguns}}: Rather odd ones at that.
* HiddenDepths: Aside from the below, she's apparently a big fan of Swan Lake. [[spoiler:Also, she seems to genuinely regret leaving Gessen Academy and considered the elites as friends.]]
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Because of her fetish, a lot of people tend to avoid her, causing her to grow lonely and wanting to have some one who understands her. That is why she feels so attracted to Haruka, as she is more than happy to satisfy her needs.
* IdiotHair
* JackOfAllStats: To a lesser extent than Asuka. Her stats are pretty balanced in all fields.
* LadyOfWar: Fights with finesse and grace.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKhobp4gTBM Super Duper Masochism]]
* LimitBreak:
** Skater's Waltz
** Beautiful Blue Gunslinger
** Rebellion Concerto
* TheMasochismTango: She practically feeds off of this with Ryōbi and Haruka.
* MeaningfulName: It's possible she was named after the [[{{Ryona}} infamous practice of the same name]] in videogames of exacting violence on female characters on very brutal ways. This is made more likely by her being a notorious masochist.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Wanting to see how it feels to be [[TakeOurWordForIt cooked alive, unremorsefully crushes two random mooks as a giant in the OVA]], and her masochistic antics in general make her a likely candidate as one.
* OrgasmicCombat: Ryōna can be a little too vocal about her lust for pain in fighting.
* PimpedOutDress: Her dress is inspired by SwanLake.
* SeriousBusiness: She ''will'' go from a kinky attitude to a serious tone if anyone knows anything about her and Ryōbi's deceased sister, Ryōki. [[spoiler: She disposes of Yozakura when she was on the verge of finding out why they transferred to Hebijo]].
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She happily jiggles her assets in her win animation.
* SharedUnusualTrait: Her and Ryōbi both have Heterochromia.
* SiblingYinYang: She and Ryōbi are biological siblings, but look and act nothing like each other. The only outward hint of their relation is their heterochromatic eyes.
* StealthPun: Her ninja animal is the Pig, which is frequently symbolic of gluttony. She's also a hardcore masochist. [[spoiler: She's a glutton for punishment.]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: Well she is a masochist after all. During Katsuragi's substory Katsuragi humors Ryōna and agrees to "bully" her by groping her breasts, but soon regrets it when Ryōna ends up enjoying it instead of resisting like she expected.
* TriggerHappy
* VillainsOutShopping: It may be a hobby of hers, but being Ryōna she's more likely to buy ''certain items''.

!!Gessen Girls School
[[quoteright:173:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senrankagura_death_cram_5036.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:170:The Immaculate]]
The shinobi students of the Gessen Girls’ Academy pride themselves on strict discipline and purity of spirit. Their five Elites are all adopted children of the infamous shinobi Kurokage, who fought to purge all evil from the world. Devoted to his dream, these five noble souls wield their light to burn away darkness – by any means necessary.
!!Related to all Gessen School shinobi:
* BadassCrew
* CatchPhrase: "Sink into the dreams of sleeping souls!"
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:All of them were adopted by Kurokage after their shinobi parents were killed by evil shinobi; hence their unforgiving attitude toward the bad faction, and their initial Knight Templar hostility toward Hanzo for their friendship with Homura's group.]]
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Though he tried to raise them well, the girls never seemed to understand that he was trying to explain that his past worldview was wrong, and decided to take it upon themselves to fulfill his abandoned dream.
* [[FiveManBand Five Girl Band]]:
** TheHero: Yumi
** TheLancer: Yozakura
** BigGal: Murakumo
** SmartGirl: Shiki
** TheChick: Minori
* HappilyAdopted: Everyone who isn't Yumi, his biological granddaughter. Kurokage really cares about his adopted daughters, and they love him back.
* HeroAntagonist
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Due to their Dark And Troubled Pasts, they believe all evil shinobi must be destroyed and that any good shinobi who get along with them lose their right to be called "good". This leads to them wanting to have a world with no evil shinobi, their adopted parent's, Kurokage, dream. At least until they actually see in their storyline that not all evil shinobi are downright evil causing them to rethink themselves.]]
* OrchestralBombing: In ''Shinovi Versus'', all of the girls' themes are this. Which makes sense because each of the girls' themes are [[Main/PublicDomainSoundtrack arrangements of famous classical music]].
** Yumi: Requiem Mass in D minor, by Mozart, and Piano Sonata No. 8 (Sonata Pathétique), by Beethoven
** Murakumo: Scythian Suite Op. 20, by Sergei Prokofiev
** Yozakura: Piano Sonata No. 14 (Moonlight Sonata), by Beethoven
** Shiki: The Four Seasons, by Vivaldi
** Minori: The Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky
* ZettaiRyouiki: In their school uniforms in ''Shinovi Versus'', all girls are Grade A but the socks are so high up into their skirts that you would easily mistake them for wearing ProperTightsWithASkirt unless you view them from a bottom-up angle in the Dressing Room or when they are knocked down and/or have their skirts ripped. However this gets averted in ''Estival Versus'' as the girls really are wearing ProperTightsWithASkirt instead.

-->''Snow conceals everything. Anger, sorrow, pleasure, joy...''
A third year and the leader at Death Cram School. She's the granddaughter of Kurokage, the rival of the legendary ninja Hanzo. As the "snow" in her name would suggest, she has a cool personality.
Her parents encountered a ninja and were quickly disposed of, along with the other girls at Death Cram School she was raised by Kurokage.
For the purpose of challenging Asuka, the granddaughter of Hanzo who is her grandfather's rival, she takes part in Hanzo's "school festival".
Utilizing the movements of her skill in Japanese dancing, she attacks using ice techniques.

* DanceBattler: She uses a variation of the Noh Mai classic dancing style to fight.
* DCupDistress: She actually wishes that her boobs were smaller so that she can properly wear her kimono.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Explicitly asked Asuka to be her friend, if both of them survive their fight.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While pursuing the signification of Justice during arcade mode, she reaches the conclusion than Justice is Cuteness and decides to dress-up as a MagicalGirl (Puri!). Her transformation triggers an HeroicBSOD from her fellow Gessen comrades.
** [[spoiler: She also loses her KnightTemplar attitude after seeing how Imu was ready to risk her life to save an injured Miyabi after Yumi defeated her and then trading blows with Homura who said that she views Asuka as a rival and how they push each other. This all leads to her accepting Asuka and the two of them becoming friends to point where Yumi teases Asuka on her relationship with Homura.]]

* TheRival: Yumi believes Asuka is no longer fit to become a good ninja for allowing Homura to live.
* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler: Seeing how determined Homura is to help Asuka, she asks if the two are lovers. Homura [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend (very loudly)]] says they aren't, but it doesn't stop her from teasing Asuka about it [[ShipTease (who doesn't seem to mind so much).]]]]
* SillyReasonForWar: By the end of the game, she knows the reasons behind her personal vendetta against Asuka are shallows, but as a shinobi she has to fight to the end.
* StoneWall: She has the lowest offense of the other team leaders, but she manages to compensate for it with her high defense.

-->''Don't worry. You...You don't have to be nice. I kn-kn-know how I look, all right? I get it!''
A third year at Gessen Girls Academy & daughter of the Tairo Corporation CEO. Due to her shy personality, she wears a mask to hide her face. With the mask on, however, she becomes ''very'' bloodthirsty. In the event where she isn't wearing her mask, because of her introverted personality and shy nature, she gets very nervous and speaks extremely fast. She will use anything to hide her face (even garbage bags).
Her weapons are a large cleaver and spear. Swinging the cleaver downwards very quickly results in an extremely heavy blow. She also has the ability to summon her pet wolf, Daigoro, along with other wolves, in her ninja arts.
-> Date of Birth: 8th of October
-> Age: 18
-> Blood Type: B
-> Height: 172 cm (5'7")
-> Measurements: B96, W58, H85 (38-23-33)
-> Hobby: Drawing manga.
-> Favorite Food: Rice cake.
-> Ninja Animal: Wolf
-> Weapon: Spear and giant cleaver
-->[-VA: Creator/HisakoKanemoto, (Japanese)-]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Not only does she love drawing manga, but she also happens to be a huge Sengoku Super Wars fangirl.
* AttackAnimal: She uses a pair of wolf summons in combat. Whether they count as NobleWolves or SavageWolves probably depends on where you stand with relation to Murakumo herself.
* {{Badass}}: Possibly the deadliest shinobi girl, as long as she keeps her mask on.
* BeneathTheMask: Pun ''very much'' intended. The rude, abusive girl who wears the mask is actually a ridiculously shy moeblob underneath.
* BerserkButton: If you manage unmask her but she then re-masks herself, she will take revenge on you for doing that.
* {{BFS}}: Her gigantic blood-stained cleaver.
* CharacterDevelopment: In ''New Wave'', Murakumo's newer card art has been showing her going without her mask more and more frequently without panicking or getting nervous. In the ''Versus'' series, however, [[StatusQuoIsGod you can probably expect her to stay cagey]].
* CoolPet: Daigoro and Kotaro are not just her attack animals, they're also her pet wolves too.
* DashAttack / VideogameDashing
* DefeatByModesty: Overlaps with DontLookAtMe. Defeating her always results in her mask being knocked off. At which point, she then lacks any willpower to continue fighting and instead proceeds to hide her face and run away. The most prominent example is when she was about to finish off Asuka in the Hanzo Story in ''Shinovi Versus'', only for Ikaruga to [[BigDamnHeroes come to her rescue]] by swiping her mask off. The resulting reaction was expected.
* DontLookAtMe: She'll usually tell people to do this if her mask is off.
* FamilyHonor: The reason why she was adopted second time was because the head of Tairo Corporation did not have worthy heirs (Murakumo is just a distant relative) and adopted her because he saw Houo Organization do the same with Ikaruga. She didn't take it that well and hated Ikaruga for this.
* FatalFlaw: Taking off her mask in general. She would've killed Asuka if it hadn't been for [[BigDamnHeroes Ikaruga swiping her mask off]]. Without it, she pretty much covered her face and left herself defenseless for Katsuragi to scare her off.
* ForSCIENCE: She tries to get Shiki's support to practice and get some inspiration for the romance bits of her newest manga. Shiki flees for her life.
* GlassCannon / FragileSpeedster
* HugeSchoolgirl: At 172 cm (5'07") tall she is the tallest female playable character so far (not counting New Wave). Slightly taller than even Daidouji, though she happens to look larger as a dramatic effect.
* IconicItem: Her Hannya mask[[note]]A Hannya mask is used in Noh theater and Shinto and Buddhist ceremonial dances. They portray the spirits of jealous women and are used to represent the complexity of emotions[[/note]], which serves as something of an emotional crutch (see Split Personality below). In the New Wave card game, she has an alternate tiger mask that she sometimes carries.
* KnifeNut: Carries a large butcher's cleaver into battle, which she treats as though it were AnAxeToGrind.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP-pzUZsjak&list=UUZe8fFTOngzT1odz5lLEumg Masked Princess]]
* LimitBreak:
** Kotarou
** Kagerou
** Daigorou Cut
* MotorMouth: A symptom of anxiety that arises when she doesn't have her mask.
* PowerupMount: How her [[LimitBreak Ultimate Hidden Ninpo]] works. She rides on the back of a giant white wolf who then proceeds to bulldoze over her enemies.
* RecurringBoss: Is fought a total of ''four'' times in the Hanzo Story in ''Shinovi Versus''. Three times by Ikaruga and once by Asuka.
* ShrinkingViolet: So absolutely, desperately shy that, if she can't have her mask, she'll hide her head with a ''trash bag''.
* ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: By Ryobi, in the New Hebijo storyline.
* ShoutOut: Two of her mangas she has written are named [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar "Mask of the South"]] and [[Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep "Do 2D Girls Dream of Electric Toasters?"]].
* SplitPersonality: Rude and bloodthirsty when she has her mask on; puts Hibari to shame on the moeblob race without it.
* TheUnSmile: Pulls one off after the end of her story mode.
* VocalDissonance: With her mask off, she speaks in high-pitched and [[MotorMouth rapid]] tone. With her mask on, she speaks with an affected ContraltoOfDanger.

-->''Kicking is for men and girls with no shame. A real lady knows how to use her fists, and look good doing it.''
A second year at Gessen Girls Academy. She has a very serious demeanor and isn't very good at understanding jokes. She doesn't approve of twisted things, nor things that get out of hand. When she comes across either of these two things her home dialect/accent unintentionally comes out. On both hands she wields special gauntlets that change size and cover her hands and wrist. Heavy blows are her specialty.
She's the oldest of 12 brothers and sisters. With her mother killed during a mission as a shinobi, she had to raise her young siblings by herself. After her father's death a year later, however, Yozakura was separated from her relatives. After escaping, she met with the master Kurokage and he told her, "I'll give you the strength to protect what is important to you." She accepted with the condition that she gets to reunite with her brothers and sisters again.

----
* AnimalMotifs: Her ninja animal is the wild boar.
* BareYourMidriff: Her ninja outfit is a kimono-like two-piece ensemble that shows off her belly.
* BoomHeadShot: [[spoiler:How she goes out in Hebijo's story mode, courtesy of Ryona.]]
* CherryBlossomGirl: An interesting, somewhat darker play on the trope. [[MeaningfulName Her name means]] "Cherry Trees in the Evening".
* CloseRangeCombatant
* TheComicallySerious: Couldn't understand a joke if you dangled it in front of her face.
* DontSplitUsUp: The oldest of twelve siblings, who was PromotedToParent after their mother and father were killed in battle. Her desperation to keep her family together led her to become a Shinobi herself.
* DuelToTheDeath[=/=]ICanStillFight[=/=]DeathSeeker: While fighting Katsuragi.
* {{Expy}}: To Kanna Tanigawa from ''Anime/WaitingInTheSummer''.
* ExtremityExtremist: She uses only punch-based attacks, which are in direct contrast to Katsuragi's kick-based attacks.
* GroundPunch: One of her attacks.
* HandBlast: At higher levels of activity, Yozakura's gauntlets start releasing concussive shockwaves. Two of her [[LimitBreak Ninpo]] fire large blasts of energy.
* HiddenDepths: Yozakura is very good at being a caretaker for others. This is evident in her flashback where she's able to take care of her 12 younger siblings all by herself and her role as a mother figure toward the rest of her team. She also ask the Instructor, in New Wave, if he/she has any siblings of their own.
* HumongousMecha: Her new [[LimitBreak Ultimate Hidden Ninpo]] in ''Estival Versus'' has her gauntlets transform into a giant gold-coated robot whom Yozakura pilots inside a glass cockpit, proceeding to punch the living hell out of her enemies with its oversized fists.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Yozakura has very ''weird'' standards; she isn't against groping, so long its done right. The two times she says you can grope someone are behind closed doors with the one you love... or on a mission with unsuspecting guard. Because doing it all the time 'cheapens the whole thing'.
** Also, she states kicking is only for men or uncouth girls; feminine women punch things instead.
* KamehameHadoken: Hell Paradise Ten Thousand Hand Fist
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNPwikdL4TM Floral Freedom]]

** Shin Namu Amida (''Estival Versus'')
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has about eleven other siblings, with her saying that she and the rest of her siblings were born in a span of nine years.
* MightyGlacier: Very good offense, but very slow movement and attack speed.
* PromotionToParent: After her mother died, Yozakura was forced to act as a parent to all of her younger siblings. She was demoted when her father died.
* PowerFist: While already devastating, her gauntlets can double in size to fire blasts of energy.
* RapidfireFisticuffs: Enhanced by a pair of PowerFist gauntlets.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Minori's red oni.
* ShapingYourAttacks: The last of her Ninpo releases a giant pair of energy fists that will swing around and smash anything in range.
* TeamMom: In the earliest part of ''Shinovi Versus''' Gessen storyline, there's some friendly dispute between her and Yumi over who the team leader actually is, since Yozakura is clearly this.
* TelescopingRobot: Notice how large her gloves are already? They can grow even larger.
* TrickedOutGloves: She uses giant iron gauntlets to fight (imagine PowerFist meets ArmCannon or PileBunker, minus the spike). [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon She likes her weapons so much]] than she go to great lengths to prove their effectiveness to a skeptical Yumi.
** Not only that, but she also reveals that the weapons were made with a pair of greaves, but she has no idea where they ended up. Go ahead and ''guess'' who's using them.
** Apparently, her previous weapon was the spear.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
* YouKilledMyFather: She shares a more complex variation on this trope with Katsuragi.

* DumbBlonde: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. She tells Yagyu that "just 'cause I'm blonde doesn't mean I don't notice things, you know?"
* GeniusBruiser[=/=]WarriorTherapist: Shiki has extensive knowledge of many ninja arts and techniques. With that knowledge, she's able to deduce what kind of techniques her opponents possess and how they can use them. Additionally, Shiki's very good at giving her team advice whenever they need it.
* GlassCannon: While she does possess a good damage game, Shiki suffers from having average health and defense.
* GrimReaper: The other half of her outfit's theme.
* HiddenDepths: While some of the girls are definitely this, Shiki runs with this trope. Externally, she appears to be just a very dumb valley girl who loves fashion more than being a Shinobi. As her story is revealed, however, we find out that Shiki is not only very intelligent, she embraces her grandfather's philosophy as much as the other girls, and recites the Heart Sutra as it gives her comfort.

* SmarterThanYouLook: More serious than what her looks (a fashion-obsessed girl who loves to play with her friends) may suggest.
* TheSocialExpert
* ThemeNaming: Her Ninja Arts are puns based on different Buddhism sayings.
* ValleyGirl: Of the Kogal kind. She is an outgoing and casual girl who is fashionable, wears more makeup than most of the other girls and can be seen chatting on her cellphone quite a bit, so she qualifies. Unlike most examples however she is not dumb. Look at SmarterThanYouLook.
* VaporWear: Her turnover outfit seems to be made of her bats, completely going nude to summon them all to attack for her in her Ultimate Ninpo. [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Just like Morrigan Aensland]].
* VocalDissonance: Look at Shiki's face. Those sharp eyes, the Beauty Mark, even her transformation showcasing a Grim Reaper theme, her ninja costume which seems to be made of garterbelts only, none of this would prepare you for the voice she has - it sounds like that of a small child.

[[caption-width-right:152:The Shamans]]
A group of shaman shinobi formed by Asuka's grandmother and the Mikagura sisters.
!!Related to all Kagura Festival shinobi:
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:The Mikagura Sisters are essentially this to Sayuri. While Sayuri's original plan was to force the shinobi girls into the Shinobi Bon Dance so she can teach them her own beliefs of being a Kagura, the sisters only want to meet a certain shinobi girl they've met in their childhood who died fighting a Youma, and even then, they only participate just to stall time so they can search for her. Keeping it a secret from Sayuri over fears that she may find out about it. Once they do make contact with the girl (sort of), her voice convinces the sisters to pursue their own path to becoming a Kagura, prompting them to participate in the Shinobi Bon Dance more seriously.]]
* UnexpectedCharacter: They managed to pull this off twice. The first time was their reveal in Famitsu magazine during Estival Versus' development period, while the second time comes from their addition to ''New Wave''.

-->''Welcome to the Kagura Thousand-Year Festival, young Shinobi.''
The wife of the eponymous Hanzo Academy’s founder and Asuka’s grandmother. Strong enough to put even Hanzo in his place, Sayuri is a tremendously powerful woman who still has a soft spot for her granddaughter. Lately, she’s been traveling around the country alongside the Mikagura sisters as a priestess for the festival. She was also once the target of Kurokage’s affections, over which Hanzo routinely fought him over years and years ago.

-->[-VA: Reiko Suzuki (Japanese)-]
----
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: She asks each of the girls if they could readily put aside their emotions in order to [[ColdEquation make the best choice]] when in life-or-death situations.
* AscendedExtra: In Burst, Asuka used her name as a threat against Hanzo when he was being perverted at the hot springs. In Estival Versus, she makes a full appearance as a boss character of all things.
* BerserkButton: Do not threat her like she was some old hag unless you want to be blown away by her.
* BlowYouAway: She mainly fights by generating gusts of wind and tornadoes.
* CastFromLifespan: She uses a special Shinobi Transformation which has the unfortunate side-effect of shaving off the user's overall lifespan.

* DualAgeModes: Can transfrom from her old woman self to back to her prime as a young adult.
* FountainOfYouth: She's able to make her appear younger. [[spoiler: Which is contrast to Kagura]].
* FreudianExcuse: She's pretty pushy about the girls learning to suppress their emotions in order to better fight Yoma. [[spoiler: It's thanks to her teammates getting killed by a Yoma when she hesitated while trying to decide whether she should prioritize saving them or killing the Yoma. The Yoma managed to both kill her teammates and escape thanks to her hesitation.]]
* IconicItem: Her pipes; in her old age, she'll ride her giant pipe like a witch's broomstick (side-saddle, even).
%%* MightyGlacier
* NeverMessWithGranny: Keep in mind that this is the same woman who can make even ''Hanzo'' submit to her just by the mentioning of her name alone. Asuka's threatening to tell Sayuri about Hanzo's DirtyOldMan antics [[KnowWhenToFoldEm is more than enough to stop him cold]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She calls the girls naive idiots when they argue against her ArmorPiercingQuestion, but urges them to find their own path nonetheless.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: It pretty much runs in the family.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Downplayed. Notice how Sayuri's clothes echo the color scheme of Asuka's shinobi uniform (yellow shirt, green dress, red ScarfOfAsskicking).

"[[StuffBlowingUp DOKAN!]]"
* FatalFireworks: She uses fireworks in her fighting style alongside her massive hammer.
