Game History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 4: Blue Moon[]
Shuko appears as a participant in the City Battle Tournament because she is trying to get enough money for her brothers’ school tuition. They get her a new washing machine and tell her to throw away the old one, but AquaMan thinks that they're talking about him, so he runs away. Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE manage to bring him back in time for their match. Lan defeats Shuko which disappoints her, but her brothers cheer her up.
Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzar[]
Shuko appears as a student teacher at the Central Town school and as a worker at the aquarium. She is once again working to raise money for her brothers but she broke a valve and caused a flood, and Lan has to collect fish in the Net using AquaMan. Shuko gets fired by the aquarium, but continues her job at the school. MegaMan gains Spout Cross after the aquarium event.
