Kikunosuke Abashiri

Kikunosuke Abashiri is one of the main characters of Abashiri Ikka. She is the only daughter of the four half-siblings fathered by Daemon Abashiri as well as the second youngest. Kikunosuke is a tomboy who has spent most of her life living like a boy and has a tough attitude because of this, often wearing a boy's school uniform. In battle she usually uses grappling and her wakizashi blade which combined with her speed and fighting skills make her a deadly opponent. Her tomboyish nature influenced the creation of the attitude's of Go Nagai's later characters such as Sayaka Yumi in the anime. She also appeared in the Mazinger franchise, usually as a short cameo or a few other roles:
 * Kikunosuke appeared in Mazinger Angels Z as a major character and pilot of the Iron Z.
 * Kikunosuke Abashiri appeared along with her father as one of the fighters against Dr. Hell.
