Bitsy Banger
Number: K1
One sunny day, an American couple pushed a stroller through the streets of Okinawa, Japan. Their little girl was fast asleep as a group of young Japanese men rounded the corner, heading right towards them.
Snatched from her parents, the little girl was taken by a Japanese gang known as the Bakuto. Their intention was simple. They would raise her to fight.
They named her Bitto Bakuhatsu, meaning little explosion. Her training was rigorous and started as soon as she could walk. By the age of twelve she was already being sent on the Bakuto’s most dangerous missions. The missions were sometimes overseas as she was sent to “collect”. Those that crossed the Bakuto would pay, one way or another, as Bitto was eager to show her skills.
After years of dealing with underground overlords in the states, she came to be known as Bitsy Banger, the kid who lived to fight. On one particular mission in Columbus, Ohio, Bitsy lurked through a small festival known as Comfest on the hunt for an enemy of the Bakuto. She happened by a booth with a group of surly looking girls, and snatched a flier, walking on as she’d seen her target move through the crowds ahead.
For the next year, she could not stop her thoughts of this group and imagined a life away from the grueling missions of the Bakuto. She fled Japan, taking only the clothes on her back, and found her home with the Ohio Roller Girls.
