Ayaka Rindou

Ayaka Rindou grew up in Hoshikura, helping her family run a small barbershop. She loved seeing how a simple haircut could brighten someone’s day. Ayaka wasn’t a flashy person, but her gentle nature and attention to detail made her beloved in her neighborhood. One small quirk, however, made her self-conscious—after a long day, her feet often carried a noticeable scent. Though harmless, it made her shy around others. Still, Ayaka never lost her kindness, choosing to express herself through hairstyling and helping people feel good about themselves. Her life changed when a member of the Latex Lily Sect visited the barbershop. They saw beyond her modest skills, recognizing her graceful movements and the potential of turning her unique traits into martial arts. Inspired by their philosophy of embracing one’s flaws as strengths, Ayaka joined the Sect and soon enrolled at Seihara Academy, where she trained under Satoshi Tanaka. Though surrounded by powerful fighters and spellcasters, Ayaka never felt out of place. She believed that martial arts could be gentle yet effective. Her signature style, “Kick Off Shoes”, involves precise kicks where she cleverly uses her shoes as a distraction before following up with swift, agile leg strikes. She also developed Hairbinding Threads, a non-lethal technique using hairstyling ropes to immobilize opponents carefully. Ayaka’s quiet dedication and cheerful spirit made her well-loved at Seihara. She opened a small salon inside the Latex Lily Sect, where tired students could come for a calming haircut or a bit of advice. She doesn’t seek glory in battle—she dreams of creating a peaceful space where people can feel comfortable, imperfections and all.
