Video Game Characters

Chousen (貂蝉, Chōsen?)
Voiced by: Yū Kobayashi
A video game-only character who first appears in the PS2 game Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon, and is allied with Rakuyo High School. Compared to her Three Kingdoms counterpart, Chousen is much more aggressive and brash, and carries a sword as her main weapon. She does not have the same romantic feelings for Ryofu (as the Original Diao Chan did for Lu Bu), but is still on friendly terms with her. Also, Chousen desired to awaken her own Dragon Potent to crush Hakufu and Ryubi (which explains why she shapeshifted into various Nanyo and Seito representatives, which varies among whom's storyline one plays as).
A few months later after suffering a humiliating defeat (presumably to Kanu) in Shining Dragon, Chousen returns in the PlayStation Portable game Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist, scathing from her last loss and hell-bent on vengeance, but loses her motivation after Kanpei snaps and mows her down with relative ease which sets up her being manipulated by Kyosho (namely Shibai this time) for a second time, but snaps back to normal after being trumped by her close friend, Ryofu. Chousen does have a Dragon ability (albeit a Light-type based Dragon), and either refuses to use it under her own volition or simply does not know how to. Also, Chousen has been relegated to that of a minor bad guy who seemingly seeks revenge for her plans being halted, and sided with Kyosho to seek revenge on Nanyo/Seito when in reality, she was only siding with Kyosho just to stop Sousou from integrating Kanpei into himself. However, it seems that after being defeated by Kanu, she is broken free of a mind control (presumably Sousou's as he comes out to chide Chousen directly after she loses). It is also interesting to note that like Kanpei's crush on Kanu in Eloquent Fist, Ekitoku has a not-so-intimate girl-crush on Chousen, even going as far as to call her "big sister" in the scene before she fights her Dragon state.
Kanpei (關平?)
Voiced by: Ryoka Yuzuki
The heroine of Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist. She is seemingly a member of Seito (wearing the Seito colors), but, like Chousen (who wore Rakuyo colors), she, too, doesn't have a legitimate school home, and is only interested in the Dragon Potent (though her true desire is towards saving Kanu, which implies that she does have a girl crush on Kanu). She, too, harbors a dragon, which was seen at the end of Chapter One with her going berserk after either Kanu or Hakufu defeat Sousou. Come to find out that Kanpei was possessed by her dragon during those times where she was the enemy intruder, as noted by the end of the Seito chapter where she returns and becomes a legitimate member of Seito (albeit just to bring her closer to the woman she's vowed to protect).
In a mission-mode based storyline, Kanpei winds up running into Chousen, who demands that she fight her, in which Chousen would have won except for the fact that Kanpei (like Ryubi) has absolutely no control over her dragon, thus snapping and easily defeating a weakened Chousen. After this, she vowed to defeat all the people who stand in between her and her precious Kanu, which brought her to Ryubi, whom she is jealous of because of the fact that Kanu has admiration (and legitimate feelings for) and that Kanpei rarely got noticed by Kanu until she'd snap. After Kanpei defeated Ryubi, her dragon seemingly woke up and managed to not only defeat Kanpei, but trash the Koumei dojo as well. Only when Kanu sacrificed her well-being for Ryubi did Kanpei realize the fate of the two and their relationship. Though Kanpei left dejected because Kanu wanted to be with Ryubi, she did leave with the satisfaction that Kanu was protected by someone with such a strong resolve and thus drops out of sight.
In the Nanyo Arc, Kanpei was merely playing the role of the bad guy to attest the Sho Haō (Hakufu's) true ability and see if she was in fact good enough to face Sousou. After Hakufu won her battle, Kanpei seemingly leaves the Kanto region for a long period of time, attesting that all three schools had amazing potential. After the events of Eloquent Fist, she joins with Chousen in China to train and enjoy the hot springs there. She returns as a playable character in Xross Impact.
Ato (阿斗?)
Voiced by: Emiri Katō
The childhood friend of Ryubi Gentoku and the destined "hero" of Kanto, or so she believes. Appearing exclusively in Ikki Tousen: Xross Impact, she is first introduced when a bunch of Nanyo students spot her on top of Nanyo making her bold proclamation that the Battle Range Hunting ("the Second Great Tournament") has commenced and the fate of the region will be determined. Seemingly stupid and childish, Ato would prove that she is actually quite intelligent, and was merely playing a role so that no one would take her seriously, which worked so incredibly well she even managed to fool Shibai Chuutatsu, who is one of the great revered strategists, along with Ryofu Housen and her follower, Chinkyu Koudai.
During the Nanyo arc, she even manages to convince Ryubi to help her stop the advancing Nanyo fighters from taking over the Seito Theatre (when in reality, Nanyo had no intentions of taking over the Theatre, they were unknowingly going to dispel Shibai's forces there). While Ato and Ryubi lost horribly to Hakufu and Ryomou, Ato learned, just like Kanpei before her, that Nanyo (and more specifically, Hakufu herself) is a true ally to Seito's cause. Her fighting style reflects her spiritual abilities, having her cape being able to transform into a variety of things, such as a priestess-styled kimono, a swimsuit (as evident in one of her super arts), and also the cape can be used to protect herself from potential damage.
During the Seito arc, Ato desired to commence the Battle Range Hunting to become a hero and "save the day". When in reality she was possessed by Demon Shibai just like Ryofu and Chinkyu was until they broke free after Chousen joins the opposing army . She also had called out Kanu to see if she was worthy of being with her friend Ryubi but after losing horribly and having to ask for Kanu's forgiveness, she tones down a bit while maintaining her "rivalry" with Kanu and becoming a member of Seito as well.

Famous quotes containing the words video game, video, game and/or characters:

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)

    We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
