MISC FACTS

- The ex-girlfiend of Emery Layton, during her time in Japan. They met in around 2013, where they were two members of a four woman group called The Runaways. They would be the final two members before the group would finally end when Yasuko disappeared.
- Ended Emery Layton's career for two years, beating her so viciously she couldn't compete, and even when she did return, she wrestled differently due to how Yasuko had beaten her.
- The mother of Diamond Jack Sabbath's second (notoriously spoiled) child Ruby Sabbath. They split some time before 2023, but Jack retained full custody of Ruby.

PERSONALITY

Polite, terrifyingly calm and ambitious, Yasuko isn't like your run-of-the-mill wrestling villain with a loud mouth and a bunch of threats to throw at you. She's patient, pragmatic and not prone to making promises she knows she cannot keep, be this in life, or in the ring.But Yasuko is often cold, emotionally unavailable and frankly, a bit callous and cruel, but hides it behind a calm, almost welcoming smile.On a personal level, Yasuko keeps herself to herself and doesn't involve herself in too many personal affairs. Or tries not to. She'd only let you down, anyway. She's driven by vengeance and power. Not exactly girlfriend-of-the-year potential.Yasuko is a living nightmare. Every single bit the sociopathic bogeyman (or woman, I guess) that still haunts the nightmares of Emery Layton.

Fictional Inspirations: O-Ren Ishii, Hans Landa, Lalo Salamanca.

WRESTLING STYLE

Yasuko is going to kick the shit out of you. That's the main thing to go into a match and accept is about to happen. With a heavy emphasis on Strong Style strikes, Yasuko is very kick-based, but veers quite a bit into high-flying herself, too. Fast-paced, hard-hitting and absolutely ruthless, Yasuko takes no prisoners.

Wrestles Like: Kagetsu, Syuri, Tajiri, Katsuyori Shibata

STRENGTHS

Speed: A match with Yasuko will often involve you trying to catch her, more than anything. Using her aerial technique and athleticism, Yasuko will try to wear you down before hitting you with the big guns, which leads us onto...Strength: And while her speed is obviously very impressive, her strength allows her to hit incredibly hard. Yasuko is a highly proficient striker, and her kicks more than prove it.Immorality: Not bound by pesky little annoyances such as 'doing the right thing', Yasuko doesnt limit herself and isn't out to please anyone else with her actions. She is simply here to win and obtain her goals. You are merely collateral.

WEAKNESSES

Size: Standing at 5'2, Yasuko is not someone who towers over many people. She doesn't let this deter her, but if you're 7'0 and she's not managed to knacker you out, if you catch her, you can probably chuck her around the ring.Tunnel Vision: Yasuko has a very one-track mind, and isn't especially flexible. She wants control, and power, and she wants things done in her specific way. If things don't go to plan, she's not very pleased about it.Not a Team Player: Such is the hubris and ego of Yasuko, she doesn't work especially well with others. Yasuko moves to the beat of her own drum and very seldom trusts anyone else not to get in the way of her own ambitions.
