[edit] About

Tobimaro's sister--extremely strong and deathly afraid of men thanks in part to being isolated from males until age 16 and Ataru Moroboshi being the first one she ever met; even her brother was unaware of her existence. Because of this fear, she went around clad in tank-like armor in order to feel safe.

Despite that, she met Ataru while wearing it. An encounter with a male for her is enough to send Asuka into a blind panic, in which case she knocks away all men within the immediate vicinity. Her beauty remained hidden within the armor until after she met Ataru because one of Lum's doses of shock therapy made the suit of security collapse. Oddly enough, she has a romantic love interest for her brother, much to the chagrin of their mother. Asuka is engaged to Shuutaro Mendou, the only person she loves besides her brother. She is also fond of Ryuunosuke Fujinami, whom she, like almost all girls, originally believed to be male.
