Lu Shaotang is a character from the Sakamoto Days series, known for being the daughter of a Triad Family. She works as a store clerk alongside Shin at Sakamoto’s, effectively becoming part of the Sakamoto Family.
Appearance
Lu is depicted as a young woman with fair skin, black eyes, and long red hair. She has an athletic build and typically wears a green apron over a black shirt with white shoes while at work. When influenced by alcohol, she lets her hair down, transforming into a more intimidating figure.
Personality Traits
Lu is generally cheerful, often maintaining a relaxed demeanor. Initially, she displayed carelessness, arriving late to work and dressed casually. Despite this, she values her family keepsakes and considers Sakamoto’s store as her family. Her protective nature is highlighted when she fiercely defends her colleagues, particularly when she attacked Saw while under the influence of alcohol.
Skills and Abilities
- Martial Arts Proficiency: Lu is a skilled martial artist with notable strength and speed.
- High Alcohol Tolerance: She can consume pure ethanol without adverse effects, maintaining her fighting abilities even when intoxicated.
- Drunken Fist Style: When drunk, her combat skills significantly enhance, allowing her to overpower opponents and evade attacks with remarkable agility. This transformation is referred to as “Triad Drunk.”
Trivia
Lu’s name was initially introduced with incorrect kanji, leading to the Romanization as Xiaotang. This mistake was later corrected in the series, but the English release by Viz continues to use the name Xiaotang.
