Not much is known about Baian's personality, but she seems to have been well-liked by the people she worked with, such as the Balboa Brothers. Upon hearing that her privacy was violated, she went into shock and was pushed to suicide.

==History==

Sayaka Baian was a famous Kanto-born idol and actress. In 1998 she starred in the joint US/[[Kanto]] production ''A Front Line in Louisiana'' alongside [[Tubbs Balboa|Tubbs]] and [[Sonny Balboa]]. She played a cable TV announcer who was in reality a digital character. She also appears on the cover of an issue of Comic Beam from 1999, seen in {{CL|0}}. On August 24, 1999, access to a candid live video feed of her apartment was sold on the Internet, organized by eleven members of a hardcore Baian fan club. After learning this from her manager, Baian entered a state of shock. On the morning of August 25th, she threw herself from her high-rise apartment to her death.
