GENERAL/STORY:
Kasumi is Todo's
daughter. After her father's defeat and disappearance she went looking
for Ryo to get revenge. However, her mother Shizuka doesn't exactly approve
of this... A neat character trait is that she doesn't know a word English;
everything she says in AOF3 she has to
look up in a dictionary. However, it seems this was lost in the American
translation as she doesn't seem to have a problem.

REVIEW:
Judging by her
attire, a person knowledgeable in martial arts would assume she uses Aikido as
her fighting style. Aikido is an awesome
and beautiful martial art, but unfortunately, Kasumi portrays it rather averagely
in her fighting game appearances... If she's even trying to portray in in the
first place. At best, her moves are sub-par and she doesn't have a whole-lot of
personality.
It's pretty cool how she took the place of Todo
in the KOF series, and she's become decent comic relief for the later games
she has appeared in, but in my opinion she's a "sleeper" SNK character... I think
it's because her 2D KOF sprite is pretty bad, as in... pretty ugly. I think
her KOF sprite is actually one of the worst I've ever seen in a
professional game, but of course
her AOF3 sprite was much much better, alas, she was portrayed a hell of
a lot better in that game. In the KOF series she really just came off as a
"filler" character.
