Kohran Li (Li (李) 李 紅蘭; pinyin: Li (李), Lǐ Hónglán(Hónglán - lit. Safflower); katakana: リ・コーラン, Ri Kōran) is a member of the Teikoku Kagekidan's Hanagumi.

Appearance

Kohran Li is a young woman with a slim figure and braided, purple hair that reaches the middle of her back. She usually wears glasses and a Chinese dress.

Personality

Cheerful and good-humored, Kohran is mechanically inclined and loves to work with the Koubu. The only instance in which Kohran becomes truly enraged and fully serious was in Sakura Wars 2. (Another instance was in Sakura Wars TV Series, but this is set on an alternate timeline). Kohran suffers (or has suffered in the past) from Pyrophobia due to a past trauma of hers. A proof of this was during the fire in one of the chapters. She awakened her memories of when her village was attacked by raid bandits and felt powerless for not preventing Ikki Yoneda from being shot, although he survived. When this happens, she becomes erratic and enters into a spiral of despair and rage.

Background

Kohran's VMU portrait.

Kohran's VMU portrait.

She works as the stage manager of the Hanagumi. A running joke in the series is that Kohran's inventions are rather accident-prone, often backfiring or blowing up in her face. She sometimes uses her boyfriend to test her inventions, with predictably hilarious results. Despite her cheerful attitude, she also has a serious side regarding her past, when a bandit raid killed her parents and she was said to be the only survivor during the village fire. She idolizes the creator of the Koubu, a person named Shinnosuke Yamazaki.

In The Games

Sakura Taisen

In her ending, she and her older boyfriend let the children from behind the park fly around with Teito on a biplane she made. Unfortunately, the engine blows up and the two had to eject from the plane and float down in parachutes.

Trivia

• Kohran is voiced and portrayed in live shows by Yuriko Fuchizaki, who is known for voicing Kaori in Akira.
• Kohran shares some peculiar similarities with another Sega universe character, Miles "Tails" Prower, from the Sonic The Hedgehog series:
  • Both of them are scientists and robotic geniuses. They both are known for their inventions, even though these inventions tend to fail and explode. (Tails' inventions have a lesser tendency to fail than Kohran's, while Kohran's major and non-serious situations always makes her inventions to explode in her face). Both have small planes and love to fly on them. In some cases, the planes of both of them also malfunction, generating comical scenes.
• Her musical themes include "Tokyo-Style Holiday" and "Metro de Ikou".
