:kunoichi:

Kunoichi (the Red ninja) from Taito's 80s cult hit game The Ninjawarriors. This is one of those games I LOVED as a kid, to the point where I actually played the tape version on the C64 so much that it no longer loads properly as the cassette is burnt out. There was a SNES sequel, but the original game on the Amiga or C64 (or on it's massive 3-Screen arcade machine original) was pretty much the mutt's nuts. It's also one of the earliest fighting games I can remember playing with a female main character.

Had one of the best soundtracks ever too.
