Now Viewing: hayate_(doa)Tag type: Character One of the major male characters in Dead or Alive. He is a serious young man with brown hair. He is the brother of Kasumi and has a close relationship with her, Ryu Hayabusa, and Ayane. Ayane has particularly strong feelings towards him since he is one of the few people who did not ostracize her. He wears a ninja uniform with a sword strapped to his back. However, he does not use the sword during gameplay and fights with his hands. He can also teleport like the other ninjas. His apparent demise at Raidou's hands is what drives Kasumi to seek vengeance in the first Dead or Alive game. Kasumi successfully gets her revenge, but is forced to go on the run from her former comrades because she had violated the code of her ninja clan in leaving her village to get revenge. However, Kasumi discovers in the second Dead or Alive game that Hayate is not dead but he has lost his memory and goes by the name Ein. Hayate was kidnapped and became a test subject for the Project Epsilon and was used to create a super weapon. Hayate managed to escape but lost his memory and was discovered by Hitomi who comes to know him as Ein. As Ein, he dresses in more contemporary outfits, often wearing jackets and jeans. He also uses karate, much like Hitomi does. By the end of the game, he recovers his memories and returns to his village and resumes his position as clan leader. Hitomi is heartbroken over this, but she and Hayate remain good friends. These dual identities effectively make Hayate a master of two different fighting styles. However, Hayate and Ein are treated as two different characters in Dead or Alive's roster so the player can't change between these styles on the fly and Hayate has decided to return to his village and continue his work as the leader of his ninja clan and as such predominantly uses the techniques he acquired as a ninja. Even though the Ein persona has not appeared again in the main DOA story, Ein is still a playable character in the Dead or Alive fighting games. He is the only one of the Dead or Alive ninja characters who has yet to make an appearance in the XBOX Ninja Gaiden games though Ayane does namedrop him in her intro scene in Ninja Gaiden III where she tells Ryu that Hayate asked her to give Ryu a sword. He is voiced by Midorikawa_Hikaru. He is played by Hong Kong actor Collin Chou in the live action film.
