Ryoko Izumo

Ryoko Izumo (出雲 良子, Izumo Ryoko) is a character in the World Heroes series of fighting games. She was inspired by real-life judoka, 2 times Olympic gold medal winner and 7 times world champion, Ryoko Tani. The main details from her background are modeled after the title character of the anime series Yawara! She is voiced by Mari Kamimura.

Story
Ryoko is a Japanese judo practitioner and sports superstar that fills the hearts of the people in her hometown with pride. Even since her father left her when she was younger and hasn't seen him in a long time, she has been training under her grandfather for years. She enters the tournament to test herself. After the tournament, Ryoko returns home and continues to improve herself ever further.

Personality
Ryoko is an easy-going child and is also very friendly. She's used to her strong throwing techniques due to her training, but at times gets a little carried away with them. It's implied that Ryoko probably has a crush on Hanzo.
