is a series of video games, anime, and other media from Japan. The Japanese title literally translates to "Galaxy Lady Legend Yuna", "''Fraulein''" refers to the German word "''Fräulein''" standing for "Miss". The main character of the series is ''Yuna Kagurazaka'', a somewhat ditzy 16-year-old girl. After winning a "Galactic Bishōjo Contest", she becomes "The Savior of Light", a magical girl charged with defending the universe from evil. After becoming the "The Savior of Light", Yuna gains an impressively powerful armored suit. Her greatest strength, however, lies in her ability to befriend anyone, even her enemies. Her group of comrades (which is extensive) is comprised almost exclusively of former opponents. == History == ''Galaxy Fräulein Yuna'' originated in 1992 when Red Company, in association with Hudson Soft asked Akitaka Mika to create a video game for the PC Engine Super-CD console. Mika Akitaka was an established artist and mechanical designer, having worked on several Mobile Suit Gundam anime titles, including Zeta Gundam, War in the Pocket, and Stardust Memory. Hudson Soft released ''Galaxy Fräulein Yuna'' in Japan in 1992, with Mika Akitaka as character designer and writer. The specific origins of ''Yuna'' lie in Mika Akitaka's ''MS Girls'' artwork, which were featured in many anime-related magazines during the late 1980s and early 1990s. With "MS" standing for "Mobile Suit", ''MS Girls'' was a collection of drawings of pretty girls dressed in Gundam-style powered armor. It is generally acknowledged that his work on ''Yuna'' was an evolution of the ''MS girls'' artwork. In fact, some of the original drawings in Mika Akitaka's book ''The World Wide Merchandise Division 2001 of Les MS Girls'' bear a striking resemblance to characters in the ''Yuna'' universe. At the 1998 Anime Expo in Anaheim, California, Mika Akitaka explained that ''Yuna'' began when his producer at ''Red Company'' asked him to design a shoot-em-up game featuring a character based on his Gundam F91 girl. The shooter ended up evolving instead into a visual novel, although Mika Akitaka would much later develop a title similar to the original ''Yuna'' design proposal titled ''Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire''. The ''Yuna'' series became popular quite quickly. This led to the production of several sequels for various platforms, as well as art books, music, CD dramas, and two anime OVA series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galaxy Fräulein Yuna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
