Nakoruru is a teenage {{s|wikipedia|Ainu}} (an indigenous Japanese people from Hokkaido) woman, living as a nature-loving priestess in the woods. She first gets involved in the story timeline-wise in ''Samurai Shodown 5'' (known in Japan as ''Samurai Spirits Zero''), helping to stop the vicious warlord Gaoh Hinowanokami.
