Born into a family of crime bosses, Kaori and her brother Yamato always knew they were destined to take over control of the Seventh Moon after their father's death. Together they ran the organization for years, bringing it profit and success, and even planning an expansion into America.
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.

The rebellion was swift and violent. Yamato sacrificed his life to protect Kaori, and Kaori was saved by a handful of loyal members.


Together with her subordinates, she managed to escape from Japan to the United States. When Kaori and her group arrived in the United States, they were greeted by a man who was supposed to greet Yamato. He was not familiar with Japanese names and did not know Kaori.

Delivers charged attacks with finesse

Yamato 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.

犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれたカオリと兄のヤマトは、 父の死後、セブンスムーンの運営を引き継ぐ運命に あることをずっと自覚していた。彼らは何年もの間、 二頭体制で組織を運営し、利益と成功をもたらし、 アメリカへの進出も計画していた。

計画は単純だった。カオリは日本に残って国内を 統制し、ヤマトはアメリカに渡り国際的な拠点を 作るはずだった。兄妹にとって不運だったのは、 カオリ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。
