Kaga is a character in Shin Megami Tensei IV.
Profile
Kaga is a prominent and influential member of the Ring of Gaea. Like other members of the cult, she prioritizes and respects strength above all else. She was raised from a young age by the organization after escaping the Ashura-kai, who had pressured her parents into giving her up to them. Because of this, she seeks revenge against the group. [1] Kaga wears a kasaya with hourokudama bombs around her neck. The six bombs are meant to represent the six virtues of Buddhism. In addition, she holds rosary beads in her right hand rather than the traditional left because she sees them as a weapon rather than a tool of faith. [2]
She is very headstrong and tenacious, and leads the mission to defeat Xi Wangmu and return Ikebukero to human control. She believes defeat to be the fate of the weak, and does not stop fighting with everything she has even in the face of death. [3]

Trivia
- Kaga was not originally intended to have a formal illustration due to her diminished presence in the story of Shin Megami Tensei IV. However, Masayuki Doi felt that she should have one due to her status in the Ring of Gaea.[4]
