Iroha

Overview

Iroha first appeared in  Samurai Shodown VI as the main and new character. Her namesake is taken from the Heian poem of the same name which is a pangram used for learning the hiragana syllabary.

She is a crane (A large, long-legged and long-necked bird)  who transforms herself into a Japanese maid. She serves her master and appears to think of him as the most important aspect of her life. Her master is unknown (Although it is rumored to be Andrew), but is likely to be the player him/herself as she often bows and speaks to the player before and after her fights. 

Her weapons are two butterfly swords and she relies on her speed for close ranged combat. 

Iroha is a very popular character in Japan, and stars in her own mobile game called Maid by Iroha. Another game based around her is currently scheduled for release on the Nintendo DS. She makes another appearance in the dating sim Days of Memories: Oedo Love Scroll. Recently, she has also been added to a roster of usable characters in the Queen's Gate series, which is an extension of the fantasy game series, Lost Worlds. She also has several different figurines, hard cast and otherwise, made in her image.
