When you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, don't take any crap from family. Be like Yui and Yuma and settle things on the spot. Everyone will thank you for it later. #sukebandeka

Haruko Sagara did an incredible job realizing Okyo and Sukeban Deka II isn't nearly as fondly remembered without her. Long retired from acting, she's still active on Instagram from her home in Hawaii, and an excellent knitter. And she still looks terrific, with a similar haircut to her Okyo days

But she also had a silly side, loved cake and who looks cooler with a toothpick or backing their pal up?

As further proof

You definitely wouldn't want to be on her bad side

Unfortunately, she was reduced to just saying 'What now, Saki?' or 'Where?' in the Sukeban Deka II video game

As incredible as Yoko Minamino was, carrying a 42 episode load would be too much of a burden for one idol. Enter! Okyo of the Marbles, a street smart sukeban who flings marbles at her enemies and has an edge, but also a heart of gold.

You stupid octopus! OTD 40 years ago, Japan was introduced to the greatest sidekick of all time - Kyoko Nakamura aka Okyo of the Marbles #sukebandeka

This episode had one of the best looks at dementia and caregiving I've ever seen. If you have a loved one suffering from memory loss, singing songs they might know is an excellent way to engage with them. Really appreciated the effort to so movingly handle this subject.
