“Delivers charged attacks with finesseYamato uses precise strikes to decimate her rivals. However, such damaging attacks often will leave her exposed, so she needs to make every shot count.
Yamato (real name Kaori) is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a close-range assassin using precise strikes and sword attacks to destroy her foes. Conducting a Flying Strike with her grapple to get close, Yamato unleashes her powerful melee attacks along with Power Slash and Crimson Slash attacks to damage, slow, and disable her enemies while healing herself. Once fully engaged, she can unleash her Shadow Transformation to become infused with a shadow soul, becoming unstoppable for a short time while ending the life of her opponents.
Kaori and her brother were crime lords of the Seventh Moon, bringing in wealth and power to the organization. However, a dispute during expansion led to the death of Kaori's brother and her escape to the United States. A miscommunication once she arrived led to Kaori adopting her brother's name, Yamato, vowing to secure her family's name once again.
Yamato's gun has an alt-fire mode.

Background[edit | edit source]
“犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれた花桜梨とその兄の大和にとって、父の死後に「セブンスムーン」の跡目を 継ぐのは自明のことでもあった。 そして何年もの間、 かれらは対等の立場で組織を率いて利益と成功を もたらし、やがてはアメリカへの進出をも目論むように なった。
思い描いていた計画は単純で、 大和がアメリカに渡って 花桜梨の国際的な存在感を高め、その間花桜梨は日本に 残って国内を統制する、といったものだった。 兄妹に とって不運だったのは、花桜梨が日本で指揮をとると いう計画を快く思わない部下たちがいたことだった。
そして迅速かつ暴力的な形で、反乱は発生した。 大和は花桜梨を守るために命を落とし、花桜梨と数人の 忠実な部下たちは、その大和の犠牲のおかげもあって、 日本からアメリカへと逃げ延びることに成功した。
アメリカに着いた花桜梨たちを出迎えたのは、 本来であれば大和が会う予定となっていた男であった。 彼は日本人の名前になじみがなかったため性別の 区別がついておらず、花桜梨のことを「ヤマト」と 呼んだ。花桜梨は男の間違いを正そうと思ったが、 結局そのままにした。兄の記憶を残し続けるためにも、 その名を名乗り、その夢を受け継ぐことが最善の
道であろうと考えたからだ。— A FATE'S TALE
“Born to criminal royalty, Kaori and her brother Yamato always knew they were destined to run The 7th Moon after their father's passing. For years they ran the organization as equals; leading to profit, success, and plans for expansion to the United States.
The idea was simple. Kaori would stay in Japan and maintain things at home, while Yamato would travel to America to set up an international presence. Unfortunately for the siblings; this plan didn't sit well with some of their more insecure underlings, who bristled at the idea of being led by Kaori in Japan.
The coup was swift and violent. Yamato gave his life protecting Kaori, but in doing so ensured that she and a handful of loyalists were able to escape Japan for America.
When she arrived stateside, the contact her brother was supposed to meet greeted her and her retinue. Unfamiliar with the gender of Japanese names, the man addressed her as Yamato. She thought to correct him, but decided that the best way to keep her brother's memory alive was to take his name and live out his dream.
