[edit] History

[edit] Virtua Fighter 3

Aoi is a practitioner of Aikijutsu. She is the eldest child of a dojo owner in Kyoto. Her father and Akira Yuki's father are old friends. As children, she and Akira would spar against each other. After seeing him compete in the tournament, she resolves to enter it herself and prove her fighting ability.

Realizing what a small world she was in after losing in the first round of the tournament, Aoi went back to training. Returning home, she tried hard not only to learn Aikido and Kobujutsu, but to also improve her knowledge in other martial arts. Her study has allowed her to more effectively counterattack and parry, as well as increase her repertoire. She is now anxious to enter the fourth tournament.

[edit] Virtua Fighter 5

The Fourth Fighting Tournament left Aoi with nothing but anger and frustration. Though her training had been thorough, her concentration was completely thrown by her opponent's pick up lines before the match. Her overconfident rival didn't just stop there, he flirted with every woman in the tournament and it angered her. The match was a total loss for her and even after the tournament she found herself thinking about him. She had to admit that his nimble footwork and powerful kicks were impressive. She trained harder than ever and couldn't wait to face her opponent once more. When her invitation arrived, she accepted immediately.

[edit] Trivia

Aoi's mastery of countering and defensive holds is clearly shown in Virtua Fighter 4:Evolution, as she can perform reversal attacks on every move in the game. In addition, her "Yin-Yang" stance can parry about three-quarters of all moves.

Some of Aoi's hobbies are ikebana and fan dancing.

Aoi's moves appear in the Sega Saturn title Fighters Megamix under the guise of the unlockable character Janet (a law enforcer from Virtua Cop 2). However, Aoi herself, who debuted in Virtua Fighter 3, never appeared in any Sega Saturn game.
