Zaki (Rival Schools)

How Zaki joined the Tourney
Before entering high school, Zaki was a popular gang leader of an uprising force, known as the "5,000 Ladies". This eventually made her parents and some members of her extended family to come to a unanimous decision: to enroll her in Seijyun High in order to turn her into a "pure" woman. As a result, she had to leave her "Ladies' Team" behind. She's an unsociable person who dislikes people who do not make efforts to voice out their thoughts and feelings. She's also a highly confrontational person who will easily snap at anyone who messes with her.

Zaki is approached by Akira and Yurika, who ask for her help in finding the whereabouts of the former's older brother, Daigo Kazama, who suddenly started ordering his subordinates to attack random schools without any reason. Zaki agrees under one condition: that either Akira or Yurika defeat her in a match; she is defeated by Akira and became impressed that she is actually Daigo's younger sister. They then proceed on their mission, encountering Batsu's team and the teacher trio of Hideo, Kyoko, and Hayato. In both encounters, Zaki shows her confrontational side to Batsu for the latter's apparent attack on Akira (which the fake Batsu really did), and to the teachers as well (as indicated in the infobox).

During the school gang war between both Gedo High and Seijyun High, Zaki is leading most of the girls' student body to fend off the Gedo High students. She and Akira are later confronted by Daigo who is revealed to be brainwashed by Kurow. Akira tries to snap her older brother from the brainwash, but to no avail, she is forced to fight him with the assistance of Zaki. Zaki eventually hears whistle noises and realized that Yurika was missing. After Daigo was freed from his brainwash, they pursue Kurow in the mountaneous region where he reveals his disguise. Kurow tries to brainwash Daigo once again but fortunately Zaki manages to repel it with her chains to drop his flute. Yurika feels guilty in joining Kurow's evil plans and decides to join in Akira and Zaki's side.

After the incident, Zaki was reluctant at first on forgiving Yurika for her involvement in Kurow's plans, but changes her mind upon seeing Akira warmly welcome her back, calmly mumbles about Yurika's return due to Akira's strength.

After welcoming Yurika back, Zaki resolves to make her gang a force of good. A ninja named Ebisu was still suspicious of her gang activities.
