(with a perfect timing and gap that my opponent provides ,i could use it as a chance to counter attack and even knock him/her down to the canvas)

Finisher : "Kiss of the Western Wind" - A finisher developed by Yui herself after years and years of training and experience from a lot of amateur bouts. Yui will try to trap her opponent into a corner ,using her jabs ,leads ,straights to confuse her opponent before she somewhat looks like going to clinch with her opponent but apparently not and pushes her opponent to the corner pad with all of her might before working his/her body with the gloves ,breaking the defense bit by bit and stunning the opponent with a well powered straight to the solar plexus. After the punch landed ,Yui will be spinning her left arm over and over while focusing all of her power to the left arm and then BOOM!!!". A powerful left cross to the opponent's right side of the face which will spin her opponent's body for a round and eventually lights out. It's considered ridiculous by the officials and fighters themselves but it works perfectly in several occassions.

[size=150:phpmc16o]Personal Info

History :

(15-0 records in both Junior and Senior High School's boxing club)

Yui ,landing a solid cross to her rival ,Madoka's face



Yui and Madoka clinching



Yui ,resting herself during the break



Born in an average Japanese family without any boxing history or whatsoever. Her father is a factory worker and her mom is a school teacher ,teaching in both primary and junior high school. She is the younger sister of Setsuna Shinu herself and they both had a wonderful childhood together until Setsuna learnt how to box ,joined the boxing club of the high school and becoming a well known top-knotch boxer in the high school. Yui and Setsuna's parents compare them in every single aspect. Yui sort of had enough of it and she hates both her parents and her sister for it ,joining the junior high school boxing herself and trains as hard as hell and proving herself with 10 straight wins records.

(15-20 College and senior amateur bouts)

Yui shot a powerful blow to Madoka's liver as they meet again in a College's boxing match



Madoka was being downed by Yui with her Kiss of the western wind ,"What...what just happened??"



Yui ,smiled victoriously after winning the match by a splendid knockout which caused Madoka had a hard time to get herself up



Yui ,after winning her first college bout with split decisions



College years are rather hard on her unlike the Junior and Senior High School. She lost in matches more than she wins while her sister's career is getting better and better all the time and becoming a pro at a very young age while Yui stuck at amateur boxing. She decides to make a change on her boxing career and try switching from her old boxing gym into a better one that she could find in Tokyo. Teiken boxing gym is the place where she practices boxing next ,her skills are developing drastically and better than she expected.

Yui ,like her sister...dropped out from the high-school and becoming a full-time professional boxer ,participating in national competitions and events under Teiken Boxing gym's management with an undefeated streak of 8 winning ,zero losses and 6 KO records until the fatality accident that happened in Korakuen Hall 3 years ago. Teiken Boxing Gym in Tokyo refrained from activities such as the advertisement and the recruitment of trainees, and closed their homepage ,totally shielding themselves from the world after the death of a fighter and all six promising young boxers of Teiken Boxing Gym who had been slated to compete in the East Japan Rookie King Tournament in 2010, declined to participate in it. Yui was one of the fighters along with other 5 males fighters.

Teiken Boxing Gym in Tokyo was rumored by the locals might be closed for once and for all after that incident. Hearing the rumor spreads like a virus from mouth to mouth ,Yui decides to put an end to her partnership with Teiken Boxing Gym and decides to find a new place ,a new league where she fight and earn money from it.

Several days after wandering the city ,Yui accidentally notices AFW's flyers and taking a close look at it. She was almost abandoning those flyers until she notices boxing league is also provided by the AFW and one thing that attracts her eyes is that AFW provides apartments with cheap rent for any martial artist. Yui doesn't consider boxing as a martial art but she sent her applications anyway to the AFW officials and lucky for her ,the officials and owner are OK with it. Soon ,she moved out to Tokyo where the AFW headquarter is and continuing her career ,fighting in the AFW without the knowledge that her sister is here as well.

[size=150:phpmc16o]Additional Info

Facts of Yui :
- Her first and native language is Japanese ,she use it all the time and totally sucks at English. It doesn't like she couldn't speak English but she constantly making grammatical errors in daily conversations so she prefers to speak Japanese to her fellow Japanese buddies instead of English.
- Yui was once arrested for the illegal use of heroin during the fight against a fighter from Shizuoka. She had to pay the fines and the scandal was pretty much destroying her reputation as a boxer. She was also banned from matches for almost a year before she held a press conference and apologized to the fighter ,the officials and the public itself.
- Even as a pretty much wealthy boxer ,she tends to keep her money in the bank instead of spending it in buying stuff that is probably doesn't have any use on her. Not that Yui is a cheap ass person or something but she had plans for her future and all of the plans need a large sums of money ,so right now i guess she's just collecting it before spending all of them to makes all of her plans become reality.

Likes :
Cardiovascular training - She does it everyday with the duration between an hour to two (if she doesn't being scheduled to fight) and the duration between two to three hours (when she is scheduled to fight).
Morning jogs - She wakes up 6 a.m every single day for this. Jogging around the neighborhood while it's still quiet and her record so far is 7 miles (she will try the counts to the miles soon). It helps her to pace her heart to the max so she won't be feeling exhausted easily when she fights.
