Yuffie Kisaragi (voiced by Yumi Kakazu in Japanese)
A member of the “Shinobi,” Wutai’s elite corp of ninja operatives. She styles herself as both a ravishing beauty and world-class materia hunter, as well as various other titles. She trifles with enemies using her huge shuriken and nimble movements. She fights to save her hometown, which lost its glory following its defeat in the war against Shinra. She infiltrates Midgar under the secret orders of the new Wutai government.
Sonon Kusakabe (voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in Japanese)
A soldier born in Wutai. He trained under Yuffie’s father, Godo Kisaragi, and is a student of kempo and bojutsu. He fought in the war at a young age, through which his resentment towards Shinra grew stronger. He has been assigned to work with his younger-but-senior associate Yuffie for an infiltration mission. With a serious demeanor, he kindly follows his reckless partner.
New Episode
In the new episode, Yuffie and company’s activities take place over the course of two chapters. The Wutai Shinobi who infiltrated Midgar collude with Avalanche HQ, and and attempt to steal the “Ultimate Materia” from Shrina Electric Power Company.
