Kokoro

Kokoro is a young Japanese maiko (apprentice geisha) and a practitioner of Bajiquan martial arts in the Dead or Alive series. She made her official debut in Dead or Alive 4. Kokoro is a sweet and polite girl, the illegitimate daughter of Fame Douglas and one of his former mistresses, Miyako, making her the half-sister of Helena Douglas. Kokoro has little knowledge of her connection to DOATEC and the Douglas family. In the game, Kokoro is known for her graceful maiko appearance and her powerful Bajiquan fighting style. She participates in the Dead or Alive fighting tournaments, partly to improve her martial arts skills and perhaps subconsciously to seek her connection with the Douglas family.
