According to the official press release, Gongsun Li is described as:
To reasons unknown to anyone but herself, a dancer from a faraway land makes her voyage to Japan. It is said her performance has the power to entrance and uplift the masses. But few suspect her actual motives, which are to gather evidence against those who’s misdeeds towards the public have been kept a secret. To the dancer, allowing one to steal away others’ happiness is a grave sin, and she will stop at nothing for the betterment of the people. CV: Kana Ichinose
