Bio
Even when born into a rich family that can attend to one's every whim, Karin's desire is not exclusively material. Her rival is Sakura Kasugano, and her training in street fighting is simply to outperform her. Unlike her rival's Ansatsuken style, the Japanese schoolgirl makes use of her family's Kanzukiryu kakutoujutsu martial art. The motto of her house is 'All you need is victory'; winning is her game.

When initially defeated by Sakura, Karin vows revenge and searches for the next fight that she means to win. Using her family's influence she tracks down the roving Sakura and does eventually emerge the victor, yet only by a passing chance. Karin realizes the victory's importance is irrelevant when compared to the fight, where the true significance is.
