Harumi Hasashi/Shirai was the husband of Hanzo Hasashi in the first and second timelines and also the mother of Satoshi. In the current timeline, she was a childhood friend of Kuai Liang who later became his wife. She is a minor character in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns.
Background[]
Harumi Hasashi was the wife of Hanzo Hasashi and a victim of the Shirai Ryu massacre, along with her son, Satoshi. She plays a minor yet pivotal role throughout the story, as Harumi is one of the driving reasons why Hanzo returned as a Specter, now known as Scorpion, in order to avenge his clan and family.
In the new timeline, she is known as Harumi Shirai (白井 春美?), in reference to the Shirai Ryu itself. She becomes the wife of Kuai Liang, and in doing so, is the wife of the bearer of the "Scorpion" name yet again.
Story[]
Mortal Kombat 1[]
In the New Era, Harumi is renamed "Harumi Shirai" and a childhood friend of Kuai Liang's. Together, Harumi, Kuai Liang & Tomas formed the Shirai Ryu in battle against the Lin Kuei. The new clan's first representative disciple is a younger iteration of Hanzo Hasashi, whom Tomas found and took him in. Later on, she becomes a wife of Kuai Liang.
Personality[]
As Khaos Reigns shows, Harumi is no pushover, but she's a strongly compassionate person, sometimes even more so than her husband. While it takes Kuai Liang the entire story to forgive Cyrax for being misled, Harumi immediately detects her remorse and even convinces Scorpion to spare her life as a wedding present.
Powers and Abilities[]
As evidenced in the beginning of Khaos Reigns storyline of Mortal Kombat 1, Harumi turns out to be a skilled fighter, as she easily slaughters Lin Kuei assassins, preparing to fight the Lin Kuei by her husband's side, as well as training Shirai Ryu initiates. She starts cutting Bi-Han's minions to shreds with two swords when the Lin Kuei attack her and Kuai Liang's wedding.
