LADY HIMARI & ASHANTI NISHIMURA (HER GIRLFRIEND) FACTUAL ✨
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 16:47:23 +0000 UTCHey guys,
How is everyone doing? I hope all is well!
Factuals are back! Today, I’ll be sharing some fascinating facts about Himari and her longtime girlfriend, Ashanti Nishimura. Over the years, they’ve become one of my favorite couples, and I’m excited to dive into their story and relationship. I’m even considering writing a side story about them in the future!
1. A Fateful First Encounter
Himari and Ashanti first crossed paths nearly eight years ago under rather unusual circumstances. Himari had been assigned to assassinate a rival syndicate boss and carried out the hit at one of their clubs. Meanwhile, Ashanti—who was posing as a nun—was leading a private prayer session. After wiping out her targets, Himari was shocked to find a nun in such a place and even more surprised to learn that Ashanti was blind.
Curious, Himari asked what she was doing there. Ashanti simply replied that she was "working." Rather than eliminate her as a witness, Himari chose to let her live and walked away. Years later, fate brought them together again at a private, invite-only LGBTQ+ event. Ashanti, responsible for checking in guests, immediately recognized Himari by her scent, even though her voice had changed slightly. Himari, on the other hand, didn’t recognize Ashanti right away—this time, she was dressed in regular clothes and looked noticeably different.
2. The Chase Before the Catch
Ashanti was the one who initially pursued Himari, but after a while, she gave up. Ironically, it was only then that Himari began pursuing her in return. Their dynamic became a playful game of cat and mouse until they finally entered a relationship. Himari, hesitant at first due to the dangers of her work, struggled with the idea of commitment—but Ashanti’s persistence and patience ultimately won her over.
3. Ashanti’s Origins and Struggles
Ashanti is of mixed heritage, half Japanese and half African. Her mother fell in love with a foreigner, and from that union, Ashanti was born. However, at the time, her mother was unable to care for her alone, so she made the heartbreaking decision to give Ashanti up for adoption to a nearby church.
Raised by nuns, Ashanti eventually became one herself. However, as she grew older, she began to question her sexuality, grappling with both personal and societal struggles. When the senior nuns discovered her desires, they gave her an ultimatum: either suppress her feelings or leave the church entirely. For a time, Ashanti chose to hide who she was, but the weight of living a lie left her deeply unhappy. Ultimately, she made the difficult decision to leave the church.
Despite this, Ashanti continued to pose as a nun—this time as a means of survival. She took on work alongside religious Yakuza bosses, using her appearance and past to navigate the dangerous underworld while maintaining a sense of control over her fate.
4. A Family’s Final Ultimatum
Himari once had an opportunity to reconcile with her parents, but it came at a heavy cost. When they learned she was in a relationship—and, more specifically, that her partner was a “mixed-blood” Japanese woman—they saw it as another stain on their family’s reputation. Their pride had already suffered after their son chose to identify as a woman, and for them, this was the final straw.
They issued Himari an ultimatum: if she wanted to be acknowledged as part of the family again, she would have to cut all ties with Ashanti. Without hesitation, Himari refused and chose Ashanti over the family that had abandoned her.
As a result, she was completely cut off, with no way to contact her parents. Despite the pain of losing them, Himari has made peace with her decision, standing firm in the love she fought for.
5. Himari’s Choice and Their Future Together
Himari made the personal decision not to fully transition, opting against gender reassignment surgery. A major reason for this choice is her hope of having children with Ashanti in the traditional way. Although she has mixed feelings about her body, her love for Ashanti outweighs her personal struggles, and she has come to terms with her decision.
To ensure Ashanti’s safety, Himari purchased a traditional home on the outskirts of Tokyo. The secluded location provides a sense of peace and security, shielding Ashanti from potential threats tied to Himari’s dangerous job.
6. A Wholesome Yet Bittersweet Bond
Ashanti and Himari are close in age and share similar life experiences, which makes their relationship both heartwarming and bittersweet. Ashanti struggles with her mental health, and Himari often goes out of her way to do silly things just to make her smile. In a way, it reminds Himari of how she used to cheer up Sakura, creating a sense of nostalgia and comfort in their relationship.
After a year of dating, Himari introduced Ashanti to the Tanaka family, marking a significant step in their commitment. Ashanti, in turn, developed strong protective feelings toward Eiko, recognizing how much Eiko cherishes Himari. Their connection deepened through shared love and loyalty, further strengthening the bonds between them.
7. Sundays Are for Them
Himari never works on Sundays, dedicating the day entirely to Ashanti. They usually spend their time outside of Tokyo, exploring the Saitama Prefecture, going on dates, and simply enjoying each other’s company. It’s their time to step away from the chaos of their lives and just be together.
Ashanti is completely financially dependent on Himari—not by choice, but by Himari’s insistence. She refuses to let Ashanti work, wanting her to focus on doing what she loves instead. Though Ashanti worries about Himari’s safety whenever she’s on a job, she finds comfort in knowing that Himari is strong enough to take care of herself. Over time, her concerns fade, replaced by trust in the woman she loves.
