<h2>Overview</h2>

[[Image:Masako.JPG|thumb|Picture taken by Sean Posey Photography at the Grand Masquerade]]
'''''Alias(es): '''''

'''''Real Name: '''''
Masako Yoshida

'''''Apparent Age: '''''
Mid twenties

'''''Concept: '''''
Speaker for the Dead

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate sylph of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

'''''Detailed Status:'''''
* Acknowledged by Prince Guillaume of Bern, Switzerland
* Adored by Primogen Alicia Fitzgerald from Bern, Switzerland
* Honorable by Primogen Heinrich Von Strauss from Copenhagen, Denmark
* Dedicated by Primogen [[Sara Durward]] from Iowa City, Iowa

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized ''Reibai'' (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

In October 2011 Masako suddenly left her position as Sceneshal in Iowa City to return to Kyoto. She has remained there since.

==Quotes==
"Wait. Sshh....did you hear that?" - Masako Hara

"She's like a living china doll. I'll bet it takes the same amount of pressure to break her." -[[Augustine St. Just]] 

"Let's give her a ton of caffeine, listen to J-Pop on the ride and then just turn her loose. It'll be hilarious." - [[Aleister Blackwell]] talking to [[Zio!]] about going on a road trip to Peoria.

"She's like a living anime character..." - [[Lena!]]

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Is very particular to differentiate the difference in pronunciation between her name and that of Her Fury, the Former Brujah Justicar Masako. She pronounces her name with a emphasis on the softer S sounds (Masa-ko), as indicative of the dialect of her native region.

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Served as a "humane" scourge for some time in Iowa City, and was highly effective. She resigned however fearing the toll it was taking on her humanity.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* Was once mauled by a five-hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Don't ask her about the book "Memoirs of a Geisha." She will get grumpy.

* Is a "Friend of the Family" to the Giovanni, and spends way too much time with them.

* Hates to be touched.

* Shouldn't have taken the red pill...

* Was given [[Alabastor Haroukin]]'s blue Rabbit mask.

* Introduced Archon Jack Kurlein to Anime. He was very confused.

"Wait. Sshh....did you hear that?" - Masako Hara

"She's like a living china doll. I'll bet it takes the same amount of pressure to break her." -[[Augustine St. Just]] 

"Let's give her a ton of caffeine, listen to J-Pop on the ride and then just turn her loose. It'll be hilarious." - [[Aleister Blackwell]] talking to [[Zio!]] about going on a road trip to Peoria.

"She's like a living anime character..." - [[Lena!]]

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Is very particular to differentiate the difference in pronunciation between her name and that of Her Fury, the Former Brujah Justicar Masako. She pronounces her name with a emphasis on the softer S sounds (Masa-ko), as indicative of the dialect of her native region.

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Served as a "humane" scourge for some time in Iowa City, and was highly effective. She resigned however fearing the toll it was taking on her humanity.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* Was once mauled by a five-hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Don't ask her about the book "Memoirs of a Geisha." She will get grumpy.

* Is a "Friend of the Family" to the Giovanni, and spends way too much time with them.

* Hates to be touched.

* Shouldn't have taken the red pill...

'''''Concept: '''''
Speaker for the Dead

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate sylph of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

'''''Detailed Status:'''''
* Acknowledged by Prince Guillaume of Bern, Switzerland
* Adored by Primogen Alicia Fitzgerald from Bern, Switzerland
* Honorable by Primogen Heinrich Von Strauss from Copenhagen, Denmark
* Dedicated by Primogen [[Sara Durward]] from Iowa City, Iowa

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

Recently left her position as Sceneshal in Iowa City to return to Kyoto very suddenly. She has remained there since.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland.

Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success.

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

==Rumors==

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

'''''Alias(es): '''''

'''''Real Name: '''''
Masako Yoshida

'''''Apparent Age: '''''
Mid twenties

'''''Concept: '''''
Speaker for the Dead

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

'''''Detailed Status:'''''
* Acknowledged by Prince Guillaume of Bern, Switzerland
* Adored by Primogen Alicia Fitzgerald from Bern, Switzerland
* Honorable by Primogen Heinrich Von Strauss from Copenhagen, Denmark
* Dedicated by Primogen [[Sara Durward]] from Iowa City, Iowa

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Is very particular to differentiate the difference in pronunciation between her name and that of Her Fury, the Former Brujah Justicar Masako. She pronounces her name with a emphasis on the softer S sounds (Masa-ko), as indicative of the dialect of her native region.

* Is not really a Toreador, but a very clever Malkavian. It would explain how she is constantly hearing "voices nobody else can hear"

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Served as a "humane" scourge for some time in Iowa City, and was highly effective. She resigned however fearing the toll it was taking on her humanity.

* Was an Allied Spy during WWII.

* Has a very strong fear of mirrors.

* Been on the arm of several Camarilla luminaries, and some Giovanni. However, she only claims one kindred patron whom she entertains almost exclusively.

* Lived in Japan for several years as a Kindred, and was tolerated by the Jade Court.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* People have reported seeing an ethereal black cat on her shoulder, with a white mask and white socks and glowing green eyes. She seems to defer to it frequently.

* Was once mauled by a five-hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Banished an entity in Black Hawk County, of either demonic or wraith origin.

* Don't ask her about the book "Memoirs of a Geisha." She will get grumpy.

* Is involved in a romantic relationship with [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Is a "Friend of the Family" to the Giovanni, and spends way too much time with them.

* Can not only hear wraiths, but can see them as well. May explain why she is constantly staring at nothing or talking to herself.

Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

"Wait. Sshh....did you hear that?" Masako Hara 

"She's like a living china doll. I'll bet it takes the same amount of pressure to break her." -[[Augustine St. Just]] 

"Let's give her a bunch of caffeine, listen to some J-Pop and then just turn her loose. It'd be hilarious." - [[Aleister Blackwell]] talking to [[Zio!]] about a road trip together to Peoria.

"She's like a living anime character..." - [[Lena!]]

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Is very particular to differentiate the difference in pronunciation between her name and that of Her Fury, the Former Brujah Justicar Masako. She pronounces her name with a emphasis on the softer S sounds (Masa-ko), as indicative of the dialect of her native region.

* Is not really a Toreador, but a very clever Malkavian. It would explain how she is constantly hearing "voices nobody else can hear"

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Served as a "humane" scourge for some time in Iowa City, and was highly effective. She resigned however fearing the toll it was taking on her humanity.

* Was an Allied Spy during WWII.

* Has a very strong fear of mirrors.

* Been on the arm of several Camarilla luminaries, and some Giovanni. However, she only claims one kindred patron whom she entertains almost exclusively.

* Lived in Japan for several years as a Kindred, and was tolerated by the Jade Court.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* People have reported seeing an ethereal black cat on her shoulder, with a white mask and white socks and glowing green eyes. She seems to defer to it frequently.

* Was once mauled by a five-hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Banished an entity in Black Hawk County, of either demonic or wraith origin.

* Don't ask her about the book "Memoirs of a Geisha." She will get grumpy.

* Is involved in a romantic relationship with [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Is a "Friend of the Family" to the Giovanni, and spends way too much time with them.

* Can not only hear wraiths, but can see them as well. May explain why she is constantly staring at nothing or talking to herself.

<h2>Overview</h2>

[[Image:Masako.JPG|thumb|Picture taken by Sean Posey Photography at the Grand Masquerade]]
'''''Alias(es): '''''

'''''Real Name: '''''
Masako Yoshida

'''''Apparent Age: '''''
Mid twenties

'''''Concept: '''''
Speaker for the Dead

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

'''''Detailed Status:'''''
* Acknowledged by Prince Guillaume of Bern, Switzerland
* Adored by Primogen Alicia Fitzgerald from Bern, Switzerland
* Honorable by Primogen Heinrich Von Strauss from Copenhagen, Denmark
* Dedicated by Primogen [[Sara Durward]] from Iowa City, Iowa

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" took full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the Second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bern, Switzerland. After her release from the Accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for a few years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, ''Ghost Stories,'' which has earned her much acclaim as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Lived in Japan for several years as a Kindred, and was tolerated by the Jade Court.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* People have reported seeing a ethereal black cat on her shoulder, with a white mask and white socks and glowing green eyes. She seems to defer to it frequently.

* Was once mauled by a five hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Banished a entity in Black Hawk County, of either demonic or wraith origin.

<h2>Overview</h2>

[[Image:Masako.JPG|thumb|Picture taken by Sean Posey Photography at the Grand Masquerade]]
'''''Alias(es): '''''

'''''Real Name: '''''
Masako Yoshida

'''''Apparent Age: '''''
Mid twenties

'''''Concept: '''''
Speaker for the Dead

'''''Physical description:'''''
Masako is a delicate bird of a woman, her height not even reaching five feet tall. She prefers to wear traditional kimonos of her station when entertaining, yet during her time as scourge she was known to sport more casual clothing. She keeps her black hair cut short to her chin, and her gentle features shift from an absent gaze to a charming smile.

'''''Detailed Status:'''''
* Acknowledged by Prince Guillaume of Bonn, Switzerland
* Adored by Primogen Alicia Fitzgerald from Bonn, Switzerland
* Honorable by Primogen Heinrich Von Strauss from Copenhagen, Denmark
* Dedicated by Primogen Sara Durward from Iowa City, Iowa

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" made full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bonn, Switzerland. After her release from the accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for ten years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, Ghost Stories which has earned her much fame as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Masako was a popular Geisha from the Gion Kōbu okiya in Kyoto, Japan. Her gifts as a medium manifested themselves at puberty, and her shrewd "Mother" made full advantage of this. Masako became a highly publicized Reibai (spirit medium) who would entertain as well as cast fortunes, attend shrine dedications and speak to dead ancestors.

She appeared out of nowhere in eastern Europe somewhere around the 1930's, and by the end of the second World War was embraced by the Toreador Jasper Renfield of Bonn, Switzerland. After her release from the accounting she disappeared from the radar and re-emerged in San Francisco in the mid 1970's. She only remained in the U.S. for ten years before returning to Europe.

Masako has kept a rather low profile since her embrace, and was a citizen of Copenhagen, Denmark immediately prior her arrival to the United States. She has starred in a documentary film, Ghost Stories which has earned her much fame as a Medium. It was released in 2010 with great success. She has been known to travel to domains that report "Wraith Trouble." (Fame 5: Medium)

==Quotes==
"Wait. Sshh....did you hear that?" Masako Hara 

"She's like a living china doll. I'll bet it takes the same amount of pressure to break her." -[[Augustine St. Just]] 

"Let's give her a bunch of caffeine, listen to some J-Pop and then just turn her loose. It'd be hilarious." - [[Aleister Blackwell]] talking to [[Zio!]] about a road trip together to Peoria.

==Rumors==
* Masako really speaks excellent English, but it is known to degrade at whim. Especially if she thinks she is in trouble.

* Is very particular to differentiate the difference in pronunciation between her name and that of Her Fury, the Former Brujah Justicar Masako. She pronounces her name with a emphasis on the softer S sounds (Masa-ko), as indicative of the dialect of her native region.

* Is not really a Toreador, but a very clever Malkavian. It would explain how she is constantly hearing "voices nobody else can hear"

* Was once given a pony as a gift from JP, the childe of [[Joseph Hanover]].

* Served as a "humane" scourge for some time in Iowa City, and was highly effective. She resigned however fearing the toll it was taking on her humanity.

* Was a Allied Spy during WWII.

* Has a very strong fear of mirrors.

* Been on the arm of several Camarilla luminaries, and some Giovanni. However, she only claims one kindred patron whom she entertains almost exclusively.

* Lived in Japan for several years as a Kindred, and was tolerated by the Jade Court.

* Has an odd choice of "friends." Those whom she has been known to frequent the company of are either of very, very low humanity or are otherwise exceptionally creepy.

* People have reported seeing a ethereal black cat on her shoulder, with a white mask and white socks and glowing green eyes. She seems to defer to it frequently.

* Was once mauled by a five hundred pound panther in her duties as Scourge.

* Banished a entity in Black Hawk County, of either demonic or wraith origin.

* Don't ask her about the book "Memoirs of a Geisha." She will get grumpy.

* Is involved in a romantic relationship with [[Joseph Hanover]].
