Asagi Kusanagi (草薙 浅黄 Kusanagi Asagi?) is a fictional character and daughter of Naoya Kusanagi she appeared in The Heisei Gamera Trilogy as the main character she was played by Ayako Fujitani.
History[]
Gamera: Guardian of the Universe[]
A dedicated and empathic 15 years old young girl, Asagi came into contact with the Atlantean oryhalcyon beads and thus gained psychic link to Gamera. She kept him grounded in humanity and helped him in battles, also assisting in proving Gamera was on humanity's side. When he was hideously wounded in the battle against Legion, Asagi was able to use her link to revive him (with the assistance of the hope of small children) but the link was severed in doing so.
Gamera 2: Attack of Legion[]
Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris[]
Three years later, Asagi became involved with Professor Nagamine (the ornithologist who first encountered the Gyaos in the first Gamera movies) and her investigations into the return of Gyaosu and the more ruthless Gamera. Both of them became involved in the strange case of Ayana, a girl who loathed Gamera and who was the avatar of the terrifying Iris monster. In the final battle between Gamera and Iris, Asagi tried repeatedly to get Ayana to break her link with Iris; when Iris was beaten and Ayana presumed dead, Asagi was able to get Gamera to revive her.
Trivia[]
