It has been a long time since I updated this website :( I was too bogged down with the necessities of a full time job. Everyday after returning from work, I hit the sack. That’s sad…

Today I wish to introduce to you some females that rock! They’re tough, they’re fearsome and most importantly, they kick ass!! Even the rear of men! Hehe… They’re Kartun’s Samurai Ladies :)

1) Shiina Yuya (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
First and foremost, we have a lady that’s feared by most – a bounty hunter called Shiina Yuya. She is often seen beside Kyo,  who always protect the weaker sex. But our Yuya is no weaker sex, she sports a deadly weapon – her ever trustful gun, always fully loaded. I wonder where she gets all her bullets…

Yuya is one mean girl that you don’t wanna cross, otherwise,  gone art thy head!

2) Kamiya Kaoru (Rurouni Kenshin)
A girl, barely out of her teens that runs a doujo with her own hands.   Kaoru is a tough girl with a body trained in the art of the Samurai. Alone and armed with her sword, she fights well. Alongside Kenshin, she makes a formidable sidekick.  She’s a skilled fighter that you would not want to mess with.

With such a tough exterior, you will be surprised that Kaoru can be gentle too, as evidenced by her love towards Kenshin :)

3) Kirara (Samurai 7)
She is the village priestess) of Kanna, a beautiful one at that.  She possesses a dowsing crystal on a necklace which allows her to detect the flow of groundwater and to read others’ hearts.  That makes her a dangerous foe if you happen to cross her path!

Have you seen her fight? She certainly can kick the asses of men and women! Go Kirara Go!!

4) Heaven (Samurai Girl)
 She’s not an anime character but I thought Heaven deserves a place here :)  Samurai Girl is a six-hour mini-series based on the popular young-adult novel series by Carrie Asai.  The actress that portrayed Heaven is Jamie Chung.

She’s one tough girl, ain’t she? Samurai girl is about a girl (what else?) that stumbled upon her destiny due to unforeseen calamities that happen around her. She soon learns from legend that tells of a girl that falls from heaven and grows up to be a great warrior. Is Heaven the girl? Well, you go and find out.

5) Stella Taylor ( Samurai Lady)
Another non-anime character that makes it to the list.  Why is she here, you ask? Well.. the answer is simple: Because she kicks ass!

Just look at Stella, she’s the Samurai lady come alive! Trained under a Samurai, her master was mysteriously killed one day. Being an FBI agent, she ventured into the world of violence and deceit to discover the truth behind her master’s demise.

Reading what I’ve written, I do wish that sometimes I can be one of these ladies that kick ass! They seem to be formidable and seldom crumble under pressure. Is it because of their Samurai spirit, or are they just tough naturally?
