Uesugi Torako

About
Torako is a mage of the Uesugi house profficient in the Yin-Yang arts.

She's an iconic accesory in her head that resembles bear ears. She is in constant competition with  Katsuko, rivalry that goes both ways. Their relationship is pretty bad, being constantly fighting and arguing, but they still trust in each other in the battlefield, and they both share great admiration for Uesugi Kenshin.

She's originally from the Houjou House, where she trained in the Yin Yang arts, but left to side with Kenshin and joined the Uesugi house.

In Sengoku Rance, after defeating the Uesugi House, Rance picks her and Katsuko out of a lineup for H, who treated even that as a competition to show her superiority over Torako by stating how he picked her first instead.

In Rance Quest she, along with Katsuko, follows Kenshin outside of JAPAN and she's next in line to replace Kenshin as the head of the Uesugi House after she got married with Katsuko's brother, since Kenshin wants to leave the house to follow Rance.

Trivia

 * She's often insultingly called "Kumako" (Bear girl) by Katsuko due to her having an accessory looking like a bear's ears on her head. Sometimes Rance also calls her the same to tease her.
 * She married with Katsuko's brother, which turns her into her sister in-law. Torako teases her by telling her to call her "Onee-san"
 * Real world reference: Uesugi Kagetora / 上杉景虎.
