Asagi Igawa

professionalism, seriousness, and responsibility, especially when on missions. She knows when to be reserved and always takes accountability for her actions.

While she demands a reasonable level of professionalism from those around her, she becomes more relaxed and even playful when her younger sister is involved. Over the years, Asagi’s personality has evolved—becoming kinder, more relaxed, and less rude. She often assumes the role of the responsible older sister, managing finances and taking care of cleaning duties, while keeping a watchful eye on her loved ones. Comically, if her loved ones or trainee subordinates get too chaotic, she uses her powers to deliver some tough love with a quick bonk to their heads.

Her formidable willpower is one of her defining traits, making it nearly impossible for Asagi to give up on survival. Loyal and proactive in her endeavors, she takes decisive action when needed. A calm veteran with a dry sense of humor, Asagi handles difficult situations with composure. Though she can be frustrated by desk work and money problems, she acknowledges that her days of frontline fighting are limited. As a result, she has become more strategic, focused on long-term planning and careful decision-making.

In her youth, Asagi’s confidence often bordered on arrogance. She was uncompromising in her sense of justice, even opposing the unification of the Taimanin until she was proven wrong. Her belief in putting people before rules led her to navigate the political world with wisdom, eventually bending it toward a more real and personal sense of justice. In her twenties, she was notably intense and abrasive toward enemies, a trait less visible in her current self. Though she hides it well, Asagi sometimes worries that her combat skills may diminish with age, and this fear drives her to push the next generation of Taimanin to step up.

In battle, Asagi enjoys taunting her enemies, relishing the fight while remaining disciplined and self-controlled. She has no hesitation in taking lives when necessary, and to her enemies, she is seen as an elegant yet terrifying force to be feared and respected. Asagi will not take lives unnecessarily if another person gives up and displays honesty and a good heart which cares for others.

Outside of her work, Asagi is deeply caring, acting as a motherly figure to friends and family, and serving as a mentor to her students. After the events of TA1, Asagi has become more inclined to remain alone, fearing that a romantic relationship would interfere with her mission and lead others to suffer as her deceased boyfriend did. Even though elders advise her to find a husband to keep the family line of the clan going, and she is willing to do so for that purpose, she will currently reject any proposals anyway as she claims to be to busy. However, if she does commit to a relationship and falls in love, Asagi becomes incredibly affectionate and dedicated, striving to make her lover's happiness a priority. She acts more feminine but still appears to be the decision maker, just as she has grown up taking responsibility since her parents passing.

One of her small indulgences is drinking at home in the evenings, as she often feels frustrated by the bureaucracy of her office work, she might overdo this at times when going out becoming a bit of a sultry drunk. Despite her strong exterior, in the event of capture, Asagi's willpower remains unshaken. She taunts her captors, displaying an iron-clad resolve that borders on the superhuman. While she is more reserved about romantic or erotic matters compared to her sister, Asagi sometimes hides a more sensual side, even if she feels humiliated by certain experiences.

If ever broken emotionally or physically, Asagi's demeanor shifts drastically. She becomes needy and submissive, a stark contrast to her usual composed self. In this state, she can become almost embarrassingly immature, indulging in her desires and neglecting her responsibilities. Her transformation into her Demon and Vampire forms further distances her from her human side, turning her into an entirely different being who views herself as superior. In Taimanin GOGO!, Asagi struggles with her language skills and becomes more reckless in her training. The once disciplined, controlled woman now seems foolish and unpredictable, almost unrecognizable from her usual self.

Appearance: Asagi has dark-blue spiky hair and teal Tsurime eyes. She wears a purple battle suit with medium to large bust size. In some games, she can wear a white version or an alternate revealing outfit.

Japan - The Japan (Nippon, 日本国) of the world of Taimanin is a very technologically advanced however, also chaotic place full of the influence of demons. Japan also harbors a few dark/hell cities, corrupted places like Tokyo or Yomihara.

It houses the most still active Demon Gates, in the world and because of that is of high interest for other nations.

Policy - Japan, while an independent country, is strongly influenced and controlled by the UFS, the UFS is allowed to deploy troops and research with only a thin veil of supervision of Japan itself. Overall, Japan still follows the same political structures of a democracy, with a Prime Minister at the top of the state. Japan has lost some control of certain cities, which now are abandoned and populated in secret by a demonic population. These cities, which often also have access to an active Demon Gate, which connects it to the Demon Realm, Japan still benefits in trading, researching and stealing, the technology and magic of the demon realm. This resource, is the main reason why both UFS and Chinese Union have a big interest in obtaining Japan but also avoid a direct conflict.

Japan often still benefits from its relation with the UFS the most, with research projects leading to new weapon technology for Japan's GSDF.

To counter the criminal demonic influences, Japan deploys, Taimanin and Onmyoji, Taimanin being the recently unified ninja clans, which are able to use supernatural abilities to fight demons and Onmyoji being the long existing sorcerers, both groups are overlooked by special departments, like Section Three and Section Four.

Technology Preferences

Japan falls short when it comes to Cyborg technology, unlike the slim cyborg soldiers of the UFS, Japans cyborgs are often large too large and when it comes to civil use of Prosthesis prefer to get them from the UFS. Researched, obtained by cooperation, lead to the PEX-88 Type Raiden, known as Japan's Alexander and the PEX-00 Type Shusui, these powered Exoskeletons are still outclassed by the competition.

Japan is strongly influenced by the large influx of magic and demonic technology of the demon realm, but lacks enough military use to be a real competition to other nations. GSDF, Internal Affairs Bureau and Section Three all perform different types of research into Taimanin and their abilities.

History/Overview - in ancient Japan, demonic powers were not as strong and the separated Taimanin Clans and Onmyoji were able to solve most of these conflict and kept them a secret.

Future Japan has become something like a false colony of the UFS, at least that is how the UFS saw it. Forced into many proxy conflicts, that are the result of the fights between UFS and Chinese Union, Japan has become now slightly unstable.

It was involved in both the Taiwan Crisis (30 years ago) and the Peninsula Conflict (10 years ago). Some of their cities like Amidahara have been destroyed and turned into slums, and Demon Gates have started to open after the peninsula conflict. The spread of hell technology in terror organizations, crime syndicates aiming for power in politics and demons themselves created father chaos became too much.

As a result, Japan gave the Taimanin additional funding to form a unified front against these forces, establishing Gosha Village. The call of unification took some time but thanks to Yamamoto Nobushige and Igawa Asagi was a success.

Anti Crime Departments - Japan uses multiple investigation departments, agents to fight against crime. Not all are named or numbered, but Section Three is an important one as it also overlooks the Taimanin, and gives out missions.

Trivia

Japan seems to be a center point for Demon Gate, since both Chinese Union and UFS have forces in them which want to annex it.

The map could finally be made, thanks to T-Shirt merch which displayed Amidahara, Amihara, Gosha and multiple Demon Gates.
