Tag type: Character

かすみ

Tag refers to the character from the Dead_or_Alive series. She is a runaway teen shinobi and is more or less the heroine/ mascot of the Dead or Alive franchise. She is Ayane's half sister and the sister to Hayate whom she cares about immensely.

She has red hair and tends to wear a blue kunoichi outfit. She is also closely associated with cherry blossoms, which appear whenever she teleports. Said outfit and quite a few of her other costumes tends to cause panty shots whenever she kicks high. Kasumi also tends to avoid wearing pants.

Although she is a kind and gentle girl, she became a runaway shinobi after she decided to avenge Hayate who was severely wounded by Raidou to the point that he was believed to be dead. She succeeds in her vengeance, but her victory is bittersweet in that she violated her clan's code in doing so. Every shinobi who runs from the village must be killed and Kasumi has spent the series running from her former comrades and Ayane. Things grow more complicated for Kasumi once she discovers in the second Dead or Alive game that Hayate is not quite dead. . .

Besides Raidou, Kasumi generally prefers to avoid fighting people and often expresses regret when she is pushed to fight someone. Despite her reluctance to fight, she is still a very effective fighter. She used to be childhood friends with Ayane, but Ayane grew to resent her as a result of Ayane becoming a pariah in the ninja community thanks to the being the daughter of the villainous Raidou while Kasumi received much better treatment. Although Ayane perceives Kasumi as a rival, Kasumi does not have any ill feelings towards Ayane.

While Ayane has consistently appeared in the XBOX Ninja Gaiden games, Kasumi is for the most part conspicuously absent despite being a popular character and a fellow ninja. Series creator Itagaki Tomonobu has stated that he decided not to include her because he felt that her gentle personality did not fit well with the brutal nature of the XBOX Ninja Gaiden games. However, this changed after Itagaki left Tecmo. She made a brief faceless cameo in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and became playable for the first time in the Ninja Gaiden series in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge as a free DLC character and like fellow Dead or Alive star Ayane fights primarily with weapons as opposed to the hand-to hand combat of Dead or Alive with her design based off of her Dead or Alive 5 appearance. However, she has no canon role in the story. Kasumi was also made a playable character in Musou Orochi 2.

In spite of all the fanservice the series is famous for, she is the only character to have appeared naked in the canon games besides Christie. She is also series creator Itagaki Tomonobu's favorite character out of the DOA franchise's cast and he subsequently feels protectiveness towards her.

She has also received a series of Queen's Gate cards based off of her. Unlike other fighting games characters who received Queen's Gate cards, Kasumi is not playable in the Queen's Gate video games.

She is voiced by Tange_Sakura (DOA1- DOA2) and Kuwashima_Houko (DOA3 onwards). However, in Dead or Alive Ultimate, the player can pick whichever voice actress s/he wants to hear as Kasumi. Although Tange stopped voicing Kasumi, she returned to voice Kasumi's evil clone Kasumi Alpha in Dead or Alive Dimensions. She is played by Devon_Aoki in the live action movie.
