Overview

Yua grew up in Kanezaka, her father a vigilante who pissed off the Hashimoto clan. They were kidnapped at the age of 16, badly injured and left in the street for him to find. This didn’t stop him from fighting them, and he disappeared a few months later.

Yua's grievous injuries and the loss of her father made her decide to craft her own identity as a vigilante based on the Overwatch heroes she looked up to, including studying the schematics of the Valkyrie suit wings and the weapon’s work of Torbjorn. They also crafted themself a distinct look, and when it was complete, they named the hero Koumori. For seven years, she fought against the forces of the clan, using the wings she’d built as weapons unto themselves as she decided the valkyrie wings were lacking, and a mask to make her identity unrecognisable. They willingly worked with others fighting the gang’s control, including the hero known as Kiriko.

Their time as one of Kanezaka’s guardians came to an end when news of Overwatch’s return met their ears. Deciding she could probably convince them to help, given the history the organisation had of fighting controlling criminal clans in Japan, she entrusted the duty of fighting the clan solely onto the Yokai and left to prove herself an ally to them, and to ask them for aid.

Notes
  • Koumori borrows specific components from famous Overwatch heroes Angela "Mercy" Ziegler [wings], Torbjorn Lindholm [long distance weaponary], Shimada Genji [silent movement + leg armouring] and Reinhardt Wilhelm [chest armour + potential mask influence?]
  • Yua has an intricate tattoo of a bat along their back, hiding their asymmetrical scarring.
  • Has a taste for tea blends, particularly blends with flower petals.
  • While she is patient with most things, specific things frustrate her extremely quickly as if she was an entirely different person.
  • Despite taking influence from the way he was designed, Koumori has little tolerance for Shimada Genji. Or either of the Shimada brothers for that matter.
  • Writes articles for 月新聞 (moon newspaper).


Nakamura Yua [中村結愛] is fiercely loyal to her home turf, and possesses incredible journalistic instinct. Given their known bat connections, their disappearance from town at the same time as Koumori, and their nose for information, they are the greatest lead we have on Koumori's identity. We are just missing true proof - footage of Koumori, without their mask.

Relationships
Nakamura Hisashi familial
Hisashi was Yua's father, a man known for standing against the Hashimoto clan and being dealt with. His body was never recovered, he simply disappeared. Yua believes him dead. She still holds a great respect for her father, even though he is gone and he arguably caused the scars that riddle her body.
Nakamura Akari familial
Yua holds a softness in their heart for their mother. Though Akari disapproves of Yua's antics, believing that she will follow the same path as her father, she helps and encourages her in performing it, including helping to form Koumori's iconic appearance by sewing the furred elements onto it.
Shimada Genji associate
Despite taking influence from him, Yua does not trust Genji on account of his upbringing as prince of the Shimada family. She is willing to tolerate him and fight alongside him, but unlike other members of Overwatch whom she is willing to socialise with, she is short and abrupt with him.
Kiriko friend?
Though Kirko is unaware of Koumori's true identity, the two seemed to respect eachother a great deal, working together and gossiping together. Before Koumori left Kanezaka, they would make a practice of leaving gifts for eachother on the rooftops, and tips on Hashimoto shipments to take on together. This changed when Koumori learned of Kiriko's history with the Shimada brothers, and now they are dismissive of her.
Lena Oxton friend/inspiration
Upon first meeting Lena, they apologised for not incorporating inspiration from her into Koumori, despite looking up to her immensely. Lena was confused by the apology but accepted it, and the two became fast friends. Lena is Yua's most trusted confidant in Overwatch, and assists in their pushing for Overwatch assisting the Kanezaka situation.
