Main protagonist of the DOA series, Kasumi is a female ninja of the "Mugen-Tenshin" style. She was originally second-in-line for the title of clan master within the Mugen Tenshi. In an attempt to settle her brother Hayate's old scores, she became a "runaway" shinobi." Immediately after Dead or Alive World Combat Championship, she was taken captive by the Super-human Development Project. While held captive, DOATEC created two clones of her, Kasumi Alpha and Alpha-152, in an effort to create the perfect fighter. Shiden is her father and Raidou is her uncle.

Kasumi's original DOA1 appearance wasn't particularly exciting, but she was nicely "fleshed out" in DOA2 (in all aspects). ;) Actually, ever since her prominent role in DOA2, she's become quite popular. While she has some likeable features, I personality find her to be a bit bland. In comparison to other fighting game females, I think Kasumi is lacking in some ways. Her fighting style has its moments, but if you ask me, nothing about the way she fights really makes a statement. Her personality has also been consistently dry throughout the series. As with most DOA girls, her main draw appears to be her bouncy boobs and over-sexualized outfits. Also one thing I can't get past is her facial rendering... why does Kasumi have the face of a 12-year-old girl? *sigh* Either it's poor rendering on the dev-team's part, or they're just pervs (at least they fixed the problem in DOA5). Finally, Kasumi's had some decent alternate outfits, but some rather boring ones as well. I never was a huge fan of her default outfit either... I think Mai does it better.
