MINATO

Your average, ordinary student residing in Tokyo. Minato is remarkably athletic and agile, which helped her take her dance skills to victory in a major international competition. Though winning was “nice”, she’s always cared more about how dance can bring people together. Her new part-time gig is helping her scientist friend NiCO with odd jobs. One of those tasks involves equipping a special device that “can recreate ‘R’” and facing off against other participants during the DOA Tournament. The device’s workings, and her true objective, remain unknown...

A set of contact lenses designed by NiCO that can recreate the abilities of “R”. The device activates the wearer’s mirror neurons to grant them the power to instantly and perfectly copy another person’s movements. Minato combines these copied movements with her own love of dance to create a fighting style like no other.
