[edit] Biography
Born of Japanese ancestry, as a child, Machiko witnessed her father, Akira Noguchi commit seppuku after being fired from the Yashido company for embezzlement. Before dying, Akira composed a Death Poem, but Machiko's mother, Keiko, refused to let her read it until years later. Machiko would later be trained in the martial arts by Master Ko, and reached the level of brown belt in karate.
Stationed in Prosperity Wells on the planet Ryushi, Noguchi and the colonists with whom she lives with get embroiled into the hunt of a group of Predators who are on the planet to hunt the Aliens in order to attain warriorhood. After many conflicts Noguchi gains a friendship with the Predator leader, Dachande. This relationship leads to Dachande giving Noguchi the Predator name Da'dtou-di (meaning "small knife") and Noguchi being accepted as a human Predator.
Because of bearing the mark of Dachande, Noguchi then hunts alongside a clan of Predator hunters. As a year passes Noguchi begins to feel as if she doesn't belong with the hunters and when the hunters embark on a human killing mission, Noguchi finally decides between Predator or Human.
After returning to her life of boredom and work, Noguchi begins to crave for the freedom of the hunt. When she later receives an offer from a wealthy man named Livermore Evanston to return to her hunting life by attending his very own hunting planet, she is compelled to accept.
