Hanako Arasaka

The Face of Arasaka Corp

The eldest Arasaka daughter, Hanako has always been a bit of a recluse. A Netrunner of high skill, she has always preferred to work on her digital projects, particularly a revised version of Soulkiller that will allow movement into clone bodies (only she grasped the true meaning of Alt Cunningham's work). However, with the fall of Kei, the remainder of the Old Guard (mostly old commanders under Kei) have unified around her and want to continue Saburo and Kei's plans as the Kiji Faction. They represent the faction that hopes for a peaceful reconciliation with the New U.S. and Hanako is their figurehead. She is also instrumental in getting her brother, Yorinobu to reconcile with the Family.
