Species & Gender: Female Minkan
Organization: Star Army of Yamatai
Occupation: Star Army Journalist
Rank: Santô Hei
Current Placement: Kyoto

Physical Description

Kozakura is easily identifiable by her rather androgynous looks and tomboy stylings. Her obvious features include pointed ears, small antlers, two pink markings upon her forehead, and a long reptilian tail. Standing at 5'6“ only serves to further enhance her androgynous look as she's on the tall side for a female Minkan, this is coupled with her 36B bust and boyish hips. She also bears a distinctive gap in her left eyebrow reminiscent of a scar. While her hair is predominantly black, her bangs are pink. In addition to these various individualistic features her eyes are genetically modified to have the pupil shaped like a reptile's narrow slit and the iris is red in coloration.

Personality

Kozakura is one who values creativity and the arts. This is partly why her body is so unique, and partly why she dedicated much of herself to the craft of acting. She is generally a calm person, and someone who can be relied upon for kindness despite the tough posture she projects. Despite her minor success in vid-streams and the occasional bit parts in film, she's never let any sort of fame or popularity go to her head. She puts a great amount of stock into concepts such as honor and duty, to the point where samurai films/shows are her favorite genre to act in.

Never one to leave a fan unanswered she is dedicated but prone to overworking herself. When it comes to maintaining friendships she's often struggled, letting work dictate her social life and thus never leaving time for true friends. Her love of Yamatai is well known, as is her support for fellow citizens of Yamatai, due to how she donates roughly 90% of her earnings from acting to charity, and gives another 8% to her parents, while only keeping the rest in order to live a comfortable yet down to earth lifestyle.

History

Tatsugami Kozakura was born 4日 2月 in YE 20 to a loving pair of mothers, Yoshiko and Yukiko, under the name Yamada Naoko. Though allegedly born in Geshrinopolis, Kozakura lived in a small isolated farming village until YE25 when the capitol of the planet was rebuilt as Kyoto. While her parents found work within the new city she would often play with the local neighborhood boys. Soon enough she reached school age and began to study and learn. It was during her schooling that she soon learned of how much fun acting was by being selected for a key part in her class' year end play. After a few years her parents managed to get Kozakura into a school that focused upon the arts, the Kyoto Academy for the Arts. It was at this school that she gained experience in the art of acting.

As a young teen she adopted the name Tatsugami Kozakura as a stage name because she was told that her real name was too bland and a bit too country bumpkin. As she continued to age she continued to land more and more local parts, performing in plays at smaller venues though never in the leading role. Despite her best efforts she always struggled to find the spotlight so to speak. It was during this time that she landed a spot in a government PSA about upgrading to the Minkan body. Soon after she herself upgraded, adopting the iconic appearance she is known for today.

Later that year she became involved in a local dojo dedicated to the preservation of historic martial arts and weapons use. It was there that she began to train in her free time. Though purely for recreation, Kozakura always took it seriously and dedicated much of her free time, maybe too much of it even. However years later it would result in her “big” break into actual low tier celebrity status. Produced by Kurokoi Studios she nabbed a supporting role in the vid series 'Servants of Swords' as the spirit residing in the protagonist's sword. It was after this role that she legally changed her name to her stage name. Her work on the show also nabbed her a small cult following of fans. She continued to land parts in more martial arts centric series and eventually performed in her first film when Servants of Swords was made into a movie.

However her upward trajectory began to stall in YE38 with the start of Kuvexian War. Public interests began shifting and soon her roles began to dry up. In YE39 the attack on the empress only served to further diminish public interest in samurai and a sequel to Servants of Swords was cancelled. Though she managed to find voice work in anime, Kozakura never felt the same fire for it as she did for live action work.

Near the end of YE42, Kozakura received a cryogenically frozen Helashio slave from an order for free salvage from the Second Chance Salvage Company. She came with a slave collar and control remote for it; said devices viscerally disgusted Kozakura and she immediately moved to have the Helashio unfrozen and freed. This led to some… complications for Kozakura. The helashio in question did not want to leave servitude and after several hours of trying to convince the woman of the merits of a life of freedom without success, she decided to at least pay her for her services. So it was that Kozakura gained a maid for her modest living arrangements.

It was also in late YE42 that Kozakura made the decision not to renew her contracts and to instead enlist with the Star Army of Yamatai. During her trip to the Uesureyan Fortress she made the acquaintance of one Julia Meadows before eventually being recruited by Stella Glass. Signing on to be a journalist with S.A.N.D.R.A with an eventual posting to the YSS Resurgence. So it was that she completed her recruitment process and was quickly shipped off with throngs of others to Fort Victory Reserve Center for her training.
