Story :
All contacts
with Kasumi were lost and Yuri is still teamed with Ryo
and
Robert to hold up the Kyokugenryu Karate school's name.

But Chizuru needs their
help and offers to be their third member. Thus, Team Gorgeous is back again.

Info : She was a bouncer in Art of
Fighting, her Muay Thai style,
which
she learned in Thailand as a child, combined with her speed made her a
very
tough one at that. During a fight
with Robert, she was exposed as a
woman.
Later, she opened her own club with Duck King (which is their stage
in
'95). She was approached by Yuri
and Mai to join them in winning the
prize
money for both tournaments. At
first she declined, but was eventually
convinced
by her younger brother (who is her inspiration).

out
with them for two years, she thinks that in '96 she'll get new partners
...unfortunately, she's still stuck with a pair of airheads...
