Satoko Houjou

Satoko Houjou

Background

Satoko Houjou (Houjou Satoko "北条 沙都子") is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school. She has a distinctive style of speech, ending all of her sentences with ~wa which, at times, is grammatically incorrect. In spite of her young age, she is quite clever in setting up traps, and likes to practice on Keiichi.

Fighting Style

• Satoko is a very unpredictable melee character, dealing surprise attacks with a flexible pattern, though the damage is very weak. To compensate this handicap, she has various and different options for any range. She is a very good tactical fighter.
• She seems to be based on Sonic the Hedgehog from the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series of video games.
• And Knuckles the Echidna as well.
