Character copyright


I wonder who owns it? They've made a couple of TV series, a couple of films and, I believe, some manga based on her. I'm sure there is more to come if for no other reason than Nikita is a known brand and someone, somewhere, will be happy to squeeze a few more dollars from her.
I hope it's actually Luc Besson and not some corporation that acquired it as part of the original film deals.

Its only a somewhat familiar name .

It'd be just as easy to start your own "young female trained assissin" seriresa with some other bland girls name

... which is probly why we have "Anna"

It's true that 'young female trained assassin' is a well established meme now, but I still think Nikita stands out because the original film was so good. Possibly this is (yet again) an age related point of view because I remember the impression it made at the time?
