Yoshikawa, Eimi

吉川詠美

Eimi is an android constructed in the likeness of the deceased granddaughter of Kyusaku Natsume's mentor. She is emotionally, mentally, and physically unstable. Modeled after a girl roughly Ryu's age, Eimi's activation triggered an explosion that killed her grandfather, leaving her legally owned by Akiko's company. Suffering from multiple sources of psychological trauma, compounded by (or perhaps caused by) her defective design, Eimi is singularly fixated on taking Nuku Nuku's body for herself. (Eimi's own body is doomed to detonate if pushed beyond its limit due to a faulty or perhaps non-existent cooling system.) Eimi openly admits she has no idea how to download her OS into Nuku Nuku's hardware, unaware that Nuku Nuku's brain is biological rather than software-driven like her own. She is driven by a lack of a better plan and a superiority-inferiority complex regarding Nuku Nuku. For her part, Nuku Nuku would love nothing more than to be Eimi's friend. Eimi admitted to having feelings for Ryu, but dismissed her own emotions as meaningless, viewing them as just another software parlor trick like everything else about her. She wrote an apology to Ryu for feeling such 'fake' emotions towards him. A drama queen and an irrepressible hot-head, Eimi is capable of thinking ahead and being clever, but often lets her own impatience get the better of her.
