Kyouko Takatsukasa

Born into the Regent House of Takatsukasa, she had a reserved, yet firm, attitude around her, as expected of a member of one of the five noble Regent families. She became the head of the Takatsukasa family very young, and struggled to uphold her honor as a samurai against the misogynist nobility who did not believe in her ability to lead or fight as a woman. Her efforts gained her the sympathy and admiration of many young female members from the nobility, including her cousin Yui Takamura. Kyoko is already in Royal Guard service during the 1998 BETA Invasion of Japan.

She had a sisterly relationship with her cousin Takamura Yui and aunt Takamura Senna, and greatly influenced the young girl's growth and position during her schooling. She watched over Yui because she wanted to return the favor to Senna, who was her caretaker growing up. Despite being their superior in the ranks of the nobility, Kyoko offered great respect to Takamura Masatada and his wife, Senna.
