Reika Murasame is an original character conceived, coded and sprited by Taruse in early 2004. One of Taruse's last creations, it ranks among one of his most acclaimed, featuring an incredrible amount of polish for a custom mugen character of a time, as well as presentation values on par with some of the commercial fighting games.
