About
Asagi is an original character design by Takehito Harada. She has appeared in numerous Nippon Ichi video games as the 'Tragic Heroine', usually complaining about Nippon Ichi's unwillingness to cast her as the main character in a game. She has a fiesty, independent type of personality, and is usually found sporting a gun class weapon.
Spoiler Warning Asagi appears as a secret character / bonus battle, usually in post-game content, so reading about her appearance or seeing screenshots may constitute as spoilers.
Interview Q&A involving Asagi
An excerpt from the Anime Expo 2008 interview between The O-Network Online and Takehito Harada.
T-ono: Asagi has been seen in Disgaea, Makai Kingdom, and various other NIS games only as a secret character. Can you please tell us a little more about Asagi, and her role in Disgaea 3?
Harada: I actually first wanted to make Asagi as the main character for a game a long time ago, but NIS didn’t approve of the charter. I really liked her so I tried to put her in all the games I work on and as for Disgaea 3, she must be feeling really sad in the game [laughing].
T-ono: Which game was she rejected for as the main character?
Harada-san: Um… [pause] That’s a secret!
