hmm, Im a huge momiji fan personally and would love to see her return before anyone else, but this isn't the way to go, dude is giving momiji fans a bad name.
People are alarming sometimes... In the same vein though sometimes I think on why he chose to exclude Leon and the vocalization of the reason in my head SouNn-n-nDs Re-rEalLY smArT
To me personally, It was from her first appearance in dragon sword. I was immediately drawn to her design. Really loved the art in that game. You could also unlock a mode where you play as her for the full game, albeit a skin really. I just find the idea of a shrine maiden yet apprentice ninja to Ryu just cool. I expected her to be a one off character and never be seen again, but thankfully that wasn't the case.
