Reiko was told her mother had perished during a mishap at a match that occurred 10 years ago while on tour in the U.S. Her older sister by three years, Fujiko, who Reiko grew up training with, left for the U.S. to seek revenge at age 18 and has not been heard from since. A student and top-ranked member of the wrestling club at Japan Women's Physical Ed College, she also works part time as a race queen to support herself. One day Reiko came across an ad seeking entrants into the Rumble Roses Championship Tournament series and in the hopes of finding her sister, she decides to sign up.
'''Personality:''' Reiko is a girl that loves competition and is not afraid to show it. She respects her opponents, her mother's legacy, and often prays to her before and after a match. Reiko also deeply cares for her sister Fujiko as supported by her reason for joining the tournament. It should also be noted that she acknowledges she still has a long way to go to reach the level of her mother, which motivates her to train even more to fulfill her dream of becoming the greatest wrestler in the world worthy of the Hinomoto name.
Note: "Reiko" is a combination of the character "rei", which means "zero" (in reference to her stage name "Zero Fighter") and "ko", a common suffix for Japanese female names.

Lady X Substance is an artificial being made from the genetic codes of the famous Japanese female wrestler, Kamikaze Rose. Technically, she is a [[cyborg]], as sufficient portions of her are mechanical. Lady X was created by Anesthesia to alter the military balance on a global scale and to plunge the world into fear and suffering. Though not necessarily "complete", her creator (Anesthesia) is always looking for new "donors" to use to complete Lady X. Lady X is the final storyline opponent for all the starting characters, even Anesthesia, who in her storyline faces Lady X who has been reprogrammed by Bloody Shadow to turn against her creator. Lady X herself, has no story mode.
Substance and Subsistence are homages to the Metal Gear Solid Games - MGS 2: Substance and MGS 3: Subsistence.
==Alter Egos==
Alter Egos are the characters' "other self" or opposites of their default types. (For example, a Face's alter ego would be a Heel.) Alter egos can be unlocked by either completing Story Mode, or playing Exhibition with any character and performing various "vows". Once an alter ego character is unlocked in Exhibition, the previous character is not selectable. In order to get a character back, you must perform other various "vows".
===Rowdy Reiko===
Alter ego of Reiko Hinomoto. After Rumble Roses, Reiko met up with a group of bikers who called themselves "The Road Warriors". Soon, Reiko became their leader, and was given the name "Queen Cobra". She denies being Reiko, saying she has killed her. Though at the end of her story, she asks Noble Rose if their mother is still proud of her. Noble Rose answers her, thus making Rowdy Reiko ride off on her bike.
===Sgt. Clemets===
Alter ego of Dixie Clemets. Dixie changed her attitude after performing various "fouls", which resulted in fans "booing" her. She then became a cop, though with her changed attitude, became a rather "crooked" cop.
===Yasha aka Judgment===
Alter ego of Benikage. Yasha is the "true self" of Benikage (even though her name means "demon"). She believes in justice, liberty, and all sorts of other things that would define the typical "hero".
===Mistress aka Mistress Spencer===
Alter ego of Miss Spencer. Mistress is a "dominatrix" version of Miss Spencer, though they both have different personalities. She is also the only character in the original game to begin a match with a weapon; her riding crop. To go with her dominatrix gimmick she has a "slave", a homosexual man in clown make-up named "Sebastian" who could be wrestled in the Japanese version of Rumble Roses XX. In the English version of Rumble Roses XX, he can be played in Exhibition mode (only) by holding down LT (Left Trigger) while selecting Mistress.
===Becky===
Alter ego of Candy Cane. Becky is your typical cheery cheerleader. Miss Spencer convinced Candy Cane to go back to school, and Candy soon joined the cheerleading squad. She uses this to her wrestling advantage, as many of her attacks and moves focus on various cheerleading stunts.
===Sista A aka Showbiz===
Alter ego of Aisha. After Rumble Roses, Aisha's record sales took a severe downfall, resulting in failure to make any money and soon being out of the business. However, Aisha still had a passion for dancing, and entered the Rumble Roses tournament just to dance on the stage.
===The Black Belt Demon===
Alter ego of Makoto Aihara. With amazing strength and skill, she hopes to win Rumble Roses again. However, she is purely possessed. She has the face of an angel but the heart of a demon. She wishes to kill Reiko and Aigle, her best friends and greatest rivals. During the intervening time she seems to have wrestled with and domesticated a bear named "Non-non" who is also available as an opponent in the Japanese version of the game. In the English version of Rumble Roses XX, Non Non (and a panda version) can be played in Exhibition mode (only) by holding down LT (left trigger) while selecting Black Belt Demon. She also appears to be a geisha.
===Great Khan aka Killer Khan===
Alter ego of Aigle. Aigle didn't know that being a noble warrior would be a difficult path and began to make fouls. She didn't go back home thinking her father and brother would laugh at her. Aigle decided to become Killer Khan and plans to conquer the world.
===Noble Rose===
Alter ego of Evil Rose. Most likely Fujiko's true form before she became Evil Rose. Like Yasha, Noble Rose believes in things that define the typical hero. She bears a striking resemblance to [[Cutie Honey]].
===Dr. Anesthesia aka Dr. Cutter===
Alter ego of Anesthesia. This is Anesthesia when operating. After her project with Lady X went horribly wrong, Anesthesia became Dr. Cutter, with hopes of rebuilding Lady X and improving her, as well as getting revenge on those who defeated her and turn them into the so-called donors of the Lady X Project then turning them into an unbeatable army of cyborgs and experiments.
===Lady X Subsistance===
Alter ego of Lady X Substance. Though there really isn't any noticeable change (other than red-lit eyes and a different set of moves), Lady X Subsistance is exactly identical to Lady X Substance. However, Lady X Subsistance is in her true "cyborg" form.
Substance and Subsistence are homages to the Metal Gear Solid Games - MGS 2: Substance and MGS 3: Subsistence.
