Retro Heroines: Kunoichi (Red) (from "Dragon Ninja")
This is Kunoichi (Red) from the game "Dragon Ninja." The game itself was average, but this character, who looked more like a dancer in a leotard than a ninja, made a lasting impression on me. There were two types, red and blue, and although they looked the same, their attack methods were different. I tried drawing the red one first...
Looking back, I think a lot of the games I enjoyed back then were made by Data East. The company is gone now, so it's just a memory... but yeah, it brings back memories lol
