 During the early development of "Soul Edge", Taki was conceived as a Yoshimitsu-like ninja character, armed with a long sword and wearing a loose outfit and large helmet covering her upper face.She underwent several major design changes before the game's release, evolving into an athletic, iron-masked woman clad in a partially armored catsuit.Taki used variations of this outfit throughout the series; by default her primary costumes are colored crimson and sometimes navy blue, and usually she has long hair in a ponytail.
