<p>Interestingly this character has been designed by none other than Nakaba Higurashi; she has done a lot of work for Monolith Soft over the years and is the lead character designer for the <strong>Baten Kaitos</strong> series. Uka will be voiced by Mao Ichimichi (aka M·A·O.) who has done voice work in <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/monster_hunter_stories"><strong>Monster Hunter Stories</strong></a> among many other things in her career.</p>
<p>We have to say we really like the character design of Uka, especially the fact that she has a duo of foxes riding on her shoulder. Let us know what you think with a comment below. Are you looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles 2?</p>
