Profile[]
Background[]
Yoshitsune and her two friends were born in the same day and have been friends since young age. The three of them were cloned from actual historical figures by the Kuki Corporation for their skills in combat and transferred to Kawakami Academy where they are assembling all prominent young fighters they can find.
Appearance[]
Yoshitsune has blue eyes and black hair past her waist, tied in a ponytail using a white ribbon and has pale skin. Her body is very athletic like the other clones, training every day whether at school or at the Kuki company. She also binds her chest with cloth, and it was revealed in Majikoi! S in Monshiro Kuki's route that she does this to stop her breasts from growing any bigger.
Personality[]
At school, Yoshitsune originally had a very serious and honor student like personality, but has since relaxed due to help from Touma Aoi. Nevertheless, she strives to be a great person like the original Yoshitsune Minamoto, so she always does her in best in everything. She cares a lot for her classmates and other students and is very nice and polite to all people. She can also be a bit naive with other things, make Benkei says that makes her very cute and likes to tease her sometimes. She is a nature lover and loves to play the flute, which many people love to listen to. She also frequently refers to herself in the third person. She admitted in her own route that if the historical Yoshitsune likes apples she would also like apples, despite not being the person herself she would try to be more like the person as much as she can rather than be herself. Regardless of who she faces in battle, she always gives it her all.
Like Benkei and Yoichi, she has a close friendship with Yamato Naoe, and even Yamato refers in Monshiro's and Benkei's route that the mood he feels when spending time with them is similar to the Friday meeting. Yoshitsune seems to have a lot of respect for Yamato, which has been shown in two routes:
- In Tsubame Matsunaga's alternate route, if he's the one to lead their relationship, she claims she respects Yamato for managing to make a free-spirited person like Tsubame ask him for permission to publicize her Natto.
- In Benkei Musashibou's route, when she sees that he can make Yoichi and Benkei follow his orders, something she fails to achieve normally, she nervously asks him if she can call him big brother (onii-chan or nii-sama) It's also shown in Momoyo Kawakami's route if Yamato choose to do the fortune telling, Yamato is like the older brother of Yoshitsune, Yoritomo Minamoto in a myths or heroes analogy, sort of imitating Yoichi when he calls Yamato 'big brother'.
