History
F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)
2201
Sasuke first appeared in Lap 4 - Calling On Samurai Goroh, disguised as a young girl named Reina. After Bibiribitch's gang attacked a space shuttle and the space pirate claimed to be Samurai Goroh, Ryu Suzaku arrived on the planet Cryton in order to seek out the supposed 'Goroh'. Upon stumbling across a bar and questioning the bartender, Sasuke (as Reina) stepped in afterwards, also revealing that she had been seeking out 'Samurai Goroh'.
While Ryu hoped to confront 'Goroh' in order to retrieve the stolen medicine required for sick children, 'Reina' hoped to retrieve her mother's special diamond, which was aboard the space shuttle. Ryu declines to help her, but Bibiribitch's gang offer their assistance to 'Reina.' At some point, Ryu and the real Samurai Goroh would trail after Bibiribitch's gang. However, 'Reina' would accidentally cause trouble for her helpers, aiding Ryu and Goroh.
At Bibiribitch's hideout, 'Reina' makes a deal with the opposing space pirate, offering her multitude of diamonds in exchange for his help as 'Goroh.' However, after one of his men accidentally reveals his true name, 'Reina' questions him. Ryu and the real Samurai Goroh arrive, but walk into a trap. 'Reina' wraps her whip around Bibiribitch, already knowing who the real Goroh was all along, and then reveals her true identity as Sasuke.
After Goroh and Ryu were freed, Bibiribitch attempted to make an escape with his men from the collapsing hideout. The hideout explodes, and Goroh drives off with the stolen goods and Sasuke on board. Ryu is left tied up beside his Dragon Bird, but as the rope becomes loose, Ryu finds out that Goroh had left the medicine on the roof of the Dragon Bird.
In Lap 5, Sasuke is seen in disguise with the rest of her fellow bandits, crowding around Ryu Suzaku's Dragon Bird. They are confronted by Ryu, but the situation escalates, and Hakuun ends up injuring Ryu's forearm after the latter attempted to block a staff attack. As Hakuun calls for the others to dismantle the Dragon Bird, police sirens are audible, and the crew flees from the scene.
They are later seen at a bar, on the planet Cryton. As Jack Levin questions the bartender on the whereabouts of Lisa Brilliant, the bandits crowd around him, and Hakuun warns Jack to leave Lisa alone. Ryu enters shortly after, recognizing the group, but they escape thanks to Gensai's smokebomb.
2202
Sasuke was present during Lap 13 - Justice, having a hand in stealing some goods from a ship, and also handling Dark Million alongside her crewmates and Antonio Guster.
Sasuke also appeared during Lap 21 - Battle Of The Women!, not as an F-Zero pilot in the Ladies Race, but as part of the rescue effort for Lisa Brilliant. She is seen bewildered alongside Goroh and the rest of his bandit crew as Lisa, Kate Alen, and Mrs. Arrow are seen fighting instead of noticing their rescuers.
In Lap 25, Sasuke and Hakuun are seen attempting to restrain Ryu as he enters Goroh's abode, with Ryu wanting to know the whereabouts of Lisa Brilliant and her Reactor Might.
Sasuke was also the one who alerted Ryu to retrieve Miss Killer in her sealed state during Lap 49 - The 150 Year Duel. Ryu looks away for a split second, then turns back to find that Sasuke is no longer there.
In the same episode, Sasuke is seen with Hakuun, Tsukikage, Gensai, and Samurai Goroh as they buy time for Ryu to arrive and save his girlfriend.
