Artistic depictions

Some of these 3D models were the basis for 2D renditions of Konoko by Lorraine McLees et al.

• konoko_generic is Konoko's trademark TCTF outfit, featured on the Main Menu and most of the promotional art.
  A slightly different version is seen in the AIC intro.

• The casual k4_K is also prominently featured in art: in these two "mission failed" screens, these two "mission complete" screens,
  as well as in the AIC outro.

• k4_F has a drawn version, too (known as Biker Konoko). As for these two images, Konoko's appearance in them is somewhere between k4_F and k4_G.

Unused and missing resources

An eighth outfit, k4_D, is referenced in the AISA file for the two TCTF levels (CHAPTER 06 . COUNTERATTACK and CHAPTER 13 . PHOENIX RISING), but we have no idea what it may have looked like, just as for the hypothetical k4_B, k4_C, k4_E, k4_H, k4_I and k4_J. Maybe they were a mix of biker gear and casual clothes (not unlike in the "mission complete" screens of Chapters 10 and 13). Or maybe k4_D was another official suit that Konoko used to wear while at the TCTF HQ (either regular office attire or a uniform)?

There are other clothes-related resources, like the unused KONOKOundress animation, related to UndressShirt and UndressPants meshes present in Airport (CHAPTER 04 . TIGER BY THE TAIL). The "undress" bit may or may not be related to level0's shower* particles and/or to the Jail setup and all those other things that were cut from Chapter 4 (security guards, Tankers, more Muro).

Detailed chronology

Here are the seven outfits listed in their order of appearance, by Chapter, with some semi-objective commentary. For an elaborate rationale of Oni's timeline, please refer to the "Added Value" sections of the respective Chapters.

Chapter / Setting / Date	Outfit	Segue / Commentary
CHAPTER 00 . COMBAT TRAINING "Module 1-A" (TCTF Training Program Beta 6) Date: before Nov. 22		Konoko is "almost ready for field missions" and trains in some kind or "armored catsuit". No other female operative is seen wearing such a suit (for one, Karen is shown training in plain cop clothes). Still, it's probably standard-issue, not a unique piece, or she wouldn't be perceived as a "rookie" so easily. As Konoko's trademark suit, it gets a lot of screen time, but is actually worn into battle on only two occasions (see below).
CHAPTER 01 . TRIAL RUN "Syndicate Warehouse" (nondescript affiliation) Date: Nov. 22 (early afternoon)		Shortly after the training (which may have taken place in a virtual environment), Griffin goes ahead with "Phase Three" of his contingency plan against Muro, and sends Konoko on a "trial run" (a simple mission without much fighting expected). However, due to Konoko's zealous attitude, the "simple bust" draws off into a prolonged "Act 1", leading to an encounter with Muro and prompting his dramatic "counterattack" later on.
CHAPTER 02 . ENGINES OF EVIL "Manufacturing Plant" (Musashi Heavy Manufacturing Concern) Date: Nov. 22 (late afternoon)		After Griffin agrees to let Konoko investigate the Musashi lead, we see her ride her Bungie bike to get there, along with two of the TCTF agents from the warehouse operation. Once at Musashi, the due procedure is to walk through the front door and "ask first", therefore Konoko changes into an officer's suit, which she may have kept from her time at HQ earlier that day. The ornate insignia suggest quite a career as a desk cop.
CHAPTER 03 . PUZZLE PIECES "Bio-Research Lab" (Vago Biotech) Date: Nov. 22 (near sunset)		After realizing that Musashi is merely a diversion from Muro's assault on Vago, and after defeating the Deadly Brain so that she can exit the Musashi facility, Konoko slips back into the armored catsuit that she left at the TCTF van, jumps on her bike and speeds over to Vago (which is only 10 minutes away). Note: Her officer's suit is apparently left behind this time.
CHAPTER 04 . TIGER BY THE TAIL "Airport Assault" (Vansam Regional Airport) Date: Nov. 22 (evening, after dark)		Unable to stop Muro's escape from Vago, Konoko picks up her bike, somehow gets past the entrance gate, then catches up with Muro's van as it reaches the airport (by then, night has fallen and the airport is overrun by Strikers). Muro takes the long way to the VTOL that is waiting for him (supposedly the van can just drive there?) – this is partly to distract Konoko from the van, partly to allow Kojiro more time to monitor her.
CHAPTER 05 . HOT PURSUIT "Airport Cargo Hangars" (Vansam Regional Airport) Date: Nov. 22 (late evening)		A direct continuation of the previous level. Konoko successfully plants a tracker on Muro's VTOL, but the tracking signal is apparently lost before the destination can be pinpointed. This conveniently allows Griffin to put Konoko's field missions on standby – however, Muro's daring counterattack will throw her back into action and out of Griffin's subordination.
CHAPTER 06 . COUNTERATTACK "TCTF Headquarters" (TCTF Regional HQ) Date: Nov. 24 (early morning, graveyard shift)		The next night, Konoko is sporting casual biker's attire as she rides towards TCTF HQ. Perhaps she is on graveyard shift duty (in which case she's late), or she forgot something important at her desk, or she is just having one of her hunches. Witnessing the Syndicate attack, she is able to slide under a closing blast door at full racing speed. Don't try this at home!
CHAPTER 07 . A FRIEND IN NEED "Atmospheric Conversion Center" (exterior) Date: Nov. 24 (early morning)		Later that night, following Shinatama's kidnapping, Konoko defies Griffin's orders to stay put. Although not on a mission, she dons her TCTF armor, and does a daring glider stunt. Note: Karen is encountered as part of the "strike team" that Griffin sent ahead of Konoko. Karen's plain cop uniform tends to suggest that the armored catsuit is exclusively Konoko's.
CHAPTER 08 . AN INNOCENT LIFE "Atmospheric Conversion Center" (interior) Date: Nov. 24 (late morning)		A direct continuation of the previous level. Note: Konoko is entering the underground part of the ACC at about 8:30 AM (per time stamps in Chapter 7). A dark sky at this hour is a stretch even for Anchorage or Saint-Petersburg. Note: Then again, the time stamps in Chapter 8 are messy as well (Shinatama blows up @ 22:13:24:19, robots beaten up @ 22:15:10:00, TCTF reinforcements due @ 00:02:45:12 ???).
CHAPTER 09 . TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES "Regional State Building" Date: Nov. 26 (early evening)		Upon going rogue, Konoko apparently has at least one secret stash or hideout that the TCTF doesn't know about (possibly some items were stashed at the ACC before the glider routine). That is how she is able to dish out so many clothes and accessories (biker's gear, laptop, gun), even though her usual living quarters are probably under close surveillance. More thoughts about the stash and/or hideout later on.
CHAPTER 10 . CAT AND MOUSE "Rooftops" (near the State Building) Date: Nov. 26 (late evening)		A quasi-direct continuation of the previous level. Following the rooftop chase, Konoko needs a safehouse where she can study Mukade's CD and dwell on her past a bit. There will be a 4-day gap between Chapters 10 and 12 (i.e., between recovering the CD and visiting Kerr). Apparently Konoko needs that much time to make sense of the new data and to sleep on it. Or maybe Hasegawa's lab is in a completely different city?
CHAPTER 11 . DREAM DIVER "Dr. Hasegawa's Lab" (unspecified location) Date: Nov. 28 (late evening)		Supposedly Konoko starts by locating the lab where her father used to work (somehow deserted and unguarded, maybe in an area that was lost to the BioCrisis a while ago?). Or perhaps she is hiding somewhere less exotic (such as in a sealed-off apartment behind police lines), and visits the lab in VR, using 3D scans that Hasegawa made? Either way, she conjures up some pizza (hence the "note to self" on Nov. 29).
CHAPTER 12 . SINS OF THE FATHER "TCTF Science Prison #112" (same city as TCTF HQ?) Date: Nov. 30 (early evening)		A day or so after perusing the CD and having a nightmare over it, Konoko sets off to infiltrate the high-security Science Prison where her uncle is kept. Apparently she infiltrates the security lobby from the roof, and then waits for a patrol to come around so that she can sneak into a corridor of death. Typical Konoko. This set of clothes appeared in Chapters 6 and 11, but can't survive Konoko's "acid bath" and so will not be seen again.
CHAPTER 13 . PHOENIX RISING "TCTF Headquarters" (TCTF Regional HQ) Date: Dec. 2 (late evening)		Following her ordeal at the Science Prison, Konoko has been off Griffin's radar for "over 48 hours". Whatever happened between the acid bath and Konoko's raid on the TCTF HQ, she seems to have healed, and also retrieved some fancy clothes and biker's gear from a secret stash or hideout (the jacket has been seen previously in Chapters 9 and 10, the rest is new).
CHAPTER 14 . DAWN OF THE CHRYSALIS "Syndicate Mountain Compound" (somewhere deep in the mountains) Date: Dec. 3 (morning? evening?)		Depending on her intel and transportation, Konoko may have traveled to Muro's secret facility immediately after Chapter 13, or the following night. She is wearing the same outfit as when confronting Griffin, except for the more casual pants and shoes. Perhaps she was planning to don the more combat-suitable biker gear upon arrival, but then had to abandon ship (unless she's crazy and jumped from a plane on purpose).
