The "Bot Fight Ringleader" is the woman that started off Hiro and Mr. Yama's Bot Fight battle in the 2014 animated film, Big Hero 6. She made a comeback in Big Hero 6: The Series.
Appearance[]
The Bot Fight Ringleader is a tall, thin, fair-skinned woman with green eyes, arched eyebrows, and long black hair which is kept into a traditional Japanese bun with a purple flower hairclip. She also wears purple eyeshadow and dark red lipstick for makeup. She also sports a black eyepatch which covers her right eye.
For attire, The Ringleader wears a cropped, sparkly-dark coral-orange tank top with a white design on it, and a studded black belt with a silver buckle, holding up her dark purple studded short-shorts. Her shorts are worn over ripped turquoise leggings, and she also dawned high-heeled black ankle boots. She accessorizes with a snake-shaped arm bracelet, which she wore around her left bicep.
In Big Hero 6: The Series, the design on her tank top is no longer there.
History[]
After Yama defeats a pink hair bot-fighter by destroying her bot, the Ringleader declares him the winner before handing him his winnings. Hiro then comes out from among the crowd, asking with a timid tone if he could participate next with his own bot, but the Ringleader simply tells him to beat it and that the house rules are that players must pay if they want to "play". Hiro shows her a large amount of money, so he is accepted into the battle.
The Little Yama bot easily defeats Hiro's Megabot, so Yama is again handed the winning money; Hiro however asks for a rematch while taking out another handful of money from his pocket. Yama accepts, but this time Hiro reveals how he was just pretending to be unskilled and naive on the first round so that he could win even more money the second round by having Megabot dismantle Little Yama with ease, leaving the watchers of the bot fight speechless. Hiro takes the money from the Ringleader while mocking Yama, but this only angers him and calls his thugs to beat up Hiro as the Ringleader backs away. Yet before they can hurt him, Hiro's brother Tadashi arrives in a scooter to save him from the criminals. The police also arrived soon and arrested most of the people involved including Yama, Hiro and Tadashi, but apparently the Ringleader was not arrested.
The Ringleader is seen again sometime later in the Season 1 episode "The Bot-Fighter", showing that she is still active in the bot fight business and working for Yama.
Since certain bot-fight related heists had been happening in town, Hiro set off to find the person responsible, but in reality, used this as an excuse to draw himself back into bot fights. Investigating a bot-fight arena, Hiro sees a new contender nameed Trina and is impressed by her. Trina and Hiro have a talk and she convinces him to return to the bot-fight matches because he was a legend. However, when Hiro tries to sign up to the tournament, the Ringleader tells him that Yama blacklisted him from participating again after the result of their first encounter and tells her guards to kick Hiro out from the arena, until he manages to convince her that a rematch between him and Yama would be good for business and would draw a big crowd. The Ringleader agrees and thus allows Hiro back into the competition, which he eventually wins.
Trivia[]
- She is also known as the "Fujita Woman", as she was a repurposed model of the green-kimono Fujita,[1] who were a group of female criminals from one of the original layouts of the film; when Mr. Yama was original set to appear as a mob boss, or when Yokai had rounded a group of criminals to help him in his task.
- In the movie, she is credited simply as Ringleader, while in Big Hero 6: The Series she is credited as Yama's Assistant.
