Asuka is a playable character and main heroine from the Senran Kagura video game series. She makes her debut in Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls.
Asuka's shinobi heritage comes from her Grandfather Hanzo on her mother's side. Although her mother was a shinobi, her father was not. Originally, her father dreamed and was on the verge of becoming a successful lawyer, however he was charmed by Asuka's mother. Hanzo did not approve of their relationship, and the two constantly fought about it. Asuka's father loved her so much that he was willing to give up his dream of becoming a lawyer, as long as he could be with her.
According to him, he didn't need dreams or money if he could spend his life with her. Hanzo was so moved by his resolve and dedication that he could not bear to refuse his proposal, allowed them to get married and decided to open up a sushi shop with Asuka's father.
When Asuka was growing up, she had a reputation for getting into fights and beating up boys and girls alike, to which Hanzo told her she was an independent sword, without a compatible shield. During her first year, Asuka had some trouble keeping up with both Katsuragi and Ikaruga due to her clumsy nature, but she managed to push through and reached her second year with average scores.
And she is reprised by Felecia Angelle in the English dub and Hitomi Harada in the Japanese dub.
