Line 10:
However, when Yoshie is given the order to eliminate the family members of the other girls that have been kidnapped and forced into servitude by the corporation, she has a change of heart. Vowing to bring down the company and its cadre of cybernetically enhanced assassins once and for all, she puts her nearly unmatched skills in the arts of death-dealing to use in an effort to avenge the lives the corporation has taken in its mad rise to power. This decision puts Yoshie on a path that will inevitably lead to a final confrontation with her now more-machine-than-human sister, and to uncovering the secrets of the men who have been pulling their strings all along.
 
''Robo Geisha'' is a Japanese splatter-horror/action/comedy film directed by Noboru Iguchi (''[[The Machine Girl (Film)|The Machine Girl]]''). It stars Aya Higuchi as Yoshi, Hitomi Hasebe as Kikuyakko , and Takumi Saito as Hikaru Kageno. Originally released in Japanese theatres in 2009, it was later licensed for distribution in English by [[FUNimation]]. See [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|James Rolfe]] review it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikyi7uU2E_I here].
