Otsu Kamachi came from a long line of booksellers. Her family had run the Book-a-Topia for three generations, of which Otsu was the youngest member of the family. She was the hardest working of her parents’ children, unlike her older brother Masao. Her brother could be counted on to find something better to do than work in the store.

Otsu had been born in the city of Yokohama, but when her grandparents had decided to retire the whole family moved to Tokyo. It was in elementary school that Otsu met her best friend Hiroko Ikoma. Otsu was always a quiet girl, and some of the other girls at her school thought it would be fun to pick on Otsu, because she wouldn’t defend herself. It was Hiroko who came to her rescue and sent the mean girls packing. Her friendship with Hiroko was perfect. Hiroko wasn’t good at schoolwork, and it wasn’t long after that Otsu decided to tutor her. On the other hand, Otsu couldn’t boil water without burning it, and Hiroko was a fairly good cook.

It was while the two were just starting middle school that things changed a little. Masao being two years older than she had gotten a moped for his birthday, and instantly thought he was some kind of biker or something. Otsu just thought he looked ridiculous trying to look tough and all. It came as quite a shock to Otsu when Hiroko confessed to Otsu her undying love for her brother. Of course Hiroko couldn’t confess her feelings to Masao, as she would be too embarrassed. Otsu wasn’t sure what to do; it was only Masao after all.

Things got even weirder when Hiroko started making Masao box lunches. Hiroko seemed to prepare a new one every day. Not that Masao took any notice of this however, he just gulped down the food and thanked Hiroko before getting on his moped and taking off to join his friends. At first Hiroko would become maudlin over this, but then later would say that her box lunch wasn’t good enough for her Masao-kun, and be off to create an even more perfect box for him. It seemed so illogical to Otsu.

However, the girls’ friendship was strong as ever. Both needed each other, and helped out one another all the time. It was a rare day when both were calling the other on her cell phone.

Otsu got excited when she was able to get tickets to the Sapporo Photo-Sticker Convention. Naturally she invited Hiroko along. Otsu really got a kick out of photo-stickers and had quite a collection of photos of her, and Hiroko, and even a few of her and Masao. So the two girls had to board the Honshu Express bullet train that would take them out of Tokyo and down south to Sapporo.

Otsu and Hiroko were in deep conversation, or as her father put it, girl talk, when the train shuddered violently. This was quickly followed by the sound of tearing metal. Like the rest of the passengers, the girls watched in horror as two strange manlike creatures tore the roof from their car. The creatures seemed to be like something out of their worst nightmares, they were twisted and grossly deformed. Otsu felt like she was going to have a panic attack. She didn’t like icky things. With lurching steps the monsters came toward the two girls. Hiroko leaped to her feet and stood in front of Otsu. She wouldn’t let Otsu be hurt. However Hiroko herself, didn’t have to fight against them as two different men leaped into the hole created by the monsters. Hiroko and Otsu recognized them immediately, as did the rest of the passengers. It was Shenshudan One, the heroes of Japan. One of them was the cricket hero Koroogi, and the other was the robotic Ichiro. Otsu barely saw them however, because she had lost her glasses in the struggle.

It was a blurry scene that Otsu saw. The brown blur, which she thought was Koroogi, had kicked one of the monsters so hard that it blew a hole out of the train and was lost from view. Meanwhile, the black and silver blur fire beam of bright red light at the second. This seemed to be too much for the monster because it exploded into a disgusting pile. By the time Otsu found her glasses the heroes was gone, but she could clearly see the smile on Hiroko’s face. The girl looked excited. Otsu was a little disappointed. She had a little crush on Koroogi herself.

A few weeks after the incident of the train, Otsu noticed that Hiroko would disappear at the oddest times. It didn’t make much sense to Otsu. She wondered if Hiroko had found a new best friend, or maybe a new boy friend (her brother wasn’t much of one if you asked Otsu). After the third time, Otsu was determined to follow Hiroko and find out what she was doing. Putting on a trench coat, a hat, and sunglasses Otsu tried to secretly follow Hiroko.

Otsu was a little surprised when she saw Hiroko talking to an old man; he must be a pervert, as he acted like he wanted to touch Hiroko. Otsu was just about to interrupt when she something poke her in the back. She about jumped out of her skin, because she just knew that it was a gun.

“Hey Onee-Chan,” said a voice behind her, “whatcha doing, huh?”

A nervous Otsu turned to see young girl in pigtails dressed as a cowgirl, pointing a cap gun at her. Otsu let a loud sigh of relief after she saw that it was only a little girl.

“If you must know,” said Otsu conspiratorially, “I’m secretly falling my friend. She has been acting suspiciously lately.”

“Oh,” said the girl, as she peered past Otsu, and then let out a “Wow! She’s beautiful.”

Otsu quickly turned back around, but Hiroko was gone. Otsu couldn’t help but gape. Hiroko had just been there, and then she was gone. However, the old man was still with a bemused look on his face.

Angrily Otsu rushed up to the man her finger pointing. She didn’t notice the young girl trailing behind her.

“You! You!” growled Otsu, “What did you do with Hiroko? Well! Well!” Otsu was practically hysterical over losing sight of Hiroko.

Otsu wasn’t able to say much more, as a nearby wall exploded, and beautiful costumed girl flew towards them, knocking them all to the ground. The girl looked awful familiar. As did the two monsters who stepped through the ruined wall towards them. Otsu couldn’t help herself, and screamed at the top of her lungs. The young girl seemed to be extremely excited at the sight of two Chaos Minions coming toward them.

The costumed girl picked herself up, dusted off her clothes, and Otsu got a real close look at her.

“Hiroko?”

Hiroko turned and smiled at Otsu.

“Isn’t this great Otsu,” said Hiroko, “I can be just like Senshudan One.”

“I won’t forgive you!” shouted Hiroko as she charged the Chaos Minions.

However, Hiroko didn’t seem to be having much luck with the Chaos Minions. These ones seemed faster than her, and soon tears showed in Hiroko’s dress. Otsu was quickly at her wits end. She rushed over to the man, who just stood there watching.

“You got to do something,” she pleaded. However, he just gave a hopeless shrug to Otsu.

“Here,” he said, “take this.”

The man handed Otsu a daisy.

Otsu totally lost it. She actually yelled at the man.

“What am I supposed to do with this?!!!!”

And then it came to her unbidden.

“Kishi Daisy TRANS-FORM-ATION!”

A bright green glow bloomed around Otsu, and she slowly raised off of the ground. In a blink of an eye, her clothes vanished. Otsu was mortified. However, the transformation continued. Starting from her feet a pair of verdant boots grew, and then at her waist a skirt of black was formed. Finally a pair of verdant gloves grew down from her finger tips to her elbows. The light faded, and Otsu gently returned to the ground. However, not only had she transformed, but so had the daisy. No longer was the daisy a daisy, but had became a hoop with broad petals projected around the edge of the hoop.

Otsu felt great power coursing through her, and it took her moment to analyze what had happened.

“Wow!” she exclaimed.

“Well don’t just stand there,” said the man, “Kishi Rose can certainly use your help.”

“Right,” said Otsu as she jumped into the fray. Her normal demeanor of being meek was momentarily forgotten. It felt good to fight against the Chaos Minions.

It was long after her transformation that the Chaos Minions were exploding. It was still icky, but Otsu didn’t have much time to reflect upon it because when the fight was over she and Hiroko transformed back into their normal forms. Hiroko was still excited from the fight.

Hiroko quickly introduced Otsu to the man, whose name was Niwashi, a monk of the Ryu-Dai Monastery. It was Niwashi who gave Hiroko a magical flower that let her fight crime, just like Senshudan One, and now her best friend could fight alongside Hiroko as Kishi Daisy.

Niwashi stood back and beamed at the two girls. His flowers were certainly blooming. Chaos would be held in check. However, his revery was interrupted by a tug of his robes. Looking down he saw a young girl in pigtails.

“Hey onii-sama,” said the girl, “can Chung-ae have a flower too?”

Niwashi beamed down at the girl.

Otsu has always been really smart. She’s the smartest girl in her class. Her one weakness is that she just can’t cook, at all. It’s a good thing that she’s friends with Hiroko, who’s a descent cook. Otsu always likes to use her intelligence to analyze any situation. Sometimes people think that Otsu is too brainy, especially her brother Masao, but being as smart as Otsu is, she doesn’t seem to notice it.

Otsu isn’t really good in social situations, another good reason to be best friends with Hiroko. Usually Otsu is really a reserved person, very demure. Otsu has never had a boy friend, and usually doesn’t understand Hiroko’s attraction to Masao. The few times that Otsu comes out of her shell is when Hiroko is in danger or when she encounters something icky.

"Kishi Daisy TRANS-FORM-ATION!"

Otsu has been given a magical daisy by Niwashi the Gardener. When she calls out the magical words, “Kishi Daisy TRANS-FORM-ATION!” she becomes Kishi Daisy, or the Knight Daisy. Her street clothes vanish and are replaced by her knight costume. This transformation does take a second or two to finish.

Once transformed, Otsu gains a lot more strength, stamina, and speed, but not really to a super-human level. More on the level of a well trained martial artist. Also transforming with Otsu is her daisy, which transforms into a hoop surrounded by petal-like projections. With her daisy, Otsu is able to perform a number of special maneuvers, from a move where she spins the hoop all around her can anyone hit is bound to get hurt. Or Otsu can fling the hoop causing it to multiply forming a chain around a foe. Defensively Otsu can use the hoop to deflect ranged attacks, or even use it as a personal shield.

Otsu has learned some martial arts from Niwashi. Mostly, it’s defensive in nature, but Otsu can deliver a painful kick. Also the transformation grants Otsu the ability to run and jump further than a girl her age.

Otsu is a fifteen year old girl who wears glasses. She’s isn’t very tall; barely over five feet in height, but she’s a little taller than Hiroko. She has light brown eyes, and short blonde hair color.. Typically Otsu likes to wear long skirted dresses with plenty of pockets for her books. However, Otsu always seems to be carrying a daisy around with her.

It’s when Otsu transforms into Kishi Daisy that she truly shines. Her street clothes vanish, and are quickly replaced by a costume that is vaguely like a Japanese school uniform or Seifuku. Her boots are verdant in color and run up to her knees. Likewise her gloves (not a normal part of Japanese school uniform), run up to her elbows and are the same color as her boots. The rest of her costume consists in a short pleated black skirt, a white blouse with a sailor style attached collar, and with a daisy on the breast pocket. Tied around her neck is a verdant neckerchief.

Also her daisy, transforms into a large hoop, with projections that look like petals running around the edge.

Physically, Otsu doesn’t change at all during the transformation. The only change that occurs is that her eye color changes from brown to a green. So far no one has been able to make the connection between Otsu and Kishi Daisy.
