Ichiko Saikou

Ichiko Saikou is the firstborn daughter of Saisho Saikou, the founder of Saikou Corp. She was first in line to inherit Saikou Corp from her father, although it would ultimately be her brother who inherited the company. As the daughter of one of the most intelligent and influential men of the 20th century, many people expected her to excel academically. However, throughout her teenage years, her performance at school was never above average. Because she failed to live up to the impossibly high expectations placed on her, she was treated unkindly by her peers, leading her to have many unpleasant experiences throughout high school. Ichiko Saikou vanished from the public eye in 1990. The disappearance of Ichiko Saikou is a mystery; nobody knows why she vanished or where she went. Some people theorize that she may have been unable to handle the immense expectations placed on her by her father and the world, so she fled Japan to live in secrecy overseas, where she enjoys a quiet and peaceful life. Other, more extreme theories postulate that her father executed her for failing to live up to his standards. To this day, nobody knows the ultimate fate of Ichiko Saikou or where on Earth she might be.
