This piece of Ayame fanart, which is my fifteenth submission for this year’s 30 Days of InuAya Month last April, is dedicated to all of the wonderful Inuyasha x Ayame shippers worldwide as well as all the Ayame fans of the world. Sit back, relax, and soak in Ayame’s unbridled formidability as one of the most brutal Kyuk Too Ki or Korean Kickboxing fighters that the world has ever seen. Making her entrance into the kickboxing ring clad in a red tank top, red shorts, red boxing gloves, and red leg guards is Ayame. Ayame’s all-red attire is the result of Inuyasha giving her his legendary Robe of the Fire Rat to her as an engagement gift when they were very young children. 8-year-old Ayame was so touched by 11-year-old Inuyasha’s engagement gift that she kissed him so hard on his cheek that he became as red as a tomato. A year later, at just nine years old, she was even introduced to several combatants from North Korea, South Korea, Thailand, and the Netherlands who made her ingrained in the world of Taekwondo, Hapkido, Muay Korat, Muay Chaiya, Muay Lopburi, Muay Thasao, and Dutch Kickboxing. These were the same styles that she adapted to her combat repertoire through her intense training with Chun-Li, Cammy White, Sakura Kasugano, Blair Dame, Hokuto, Nina Williams, and Jun Kazama. Even as 10-year-old Ayame was already happily married to 13-year-old Inuyasha and had their first set of children together in the form of triplet sons, she continued to thrive as a kickboxer and as a person. Every punch, kick, elbow strike, knee strike, shin kick, clinch, and takedown Ayame committed herself to against stronger, more skilled, and more humongous opponents, she became a more formidable force inside and outside the ring. Ayame always has her dearest husband Inuyasha to thank not for only the martial arts attire made of his Robe of the Fire Rat which he wore as a child, as well as the demon ox hide used for her boxing gloves, but also for being her greatest encourager and for being one of the strongest sparring partners she has ever fought against. Therefore, she can attest that Inuyasha is the most loyal, most dedicated, most lovable, and most virile husband Ayame could ever ask for. It also says something that Ayame always looks very good in red, which she always has Inuyasha to be eternally thankful for. With that said, let us be reacquainted with this fearlessly formidable wolf yokai Kyuk Too Ki prizefighter as part of my individual InuAya martial arts family profiles.
