Kasumi (Japanese: かすみ, also written as 霞, meaning "mist" or "afterglow") is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Dead or Alive fighting game series by Team Ninja and Tecmo (Koei Tecmo). Kasumi has served as the lead character of the Dead or Alive franchise since its premiere in 1996. She was a main character in the first, second and fifth games of the series and in the film DOA: Dead or Alive.

In the games'

boss characters who are clones of her. She also guest appeared in various other games, including Team Ninja's other flagship series Ninja Gaiden
where she and Ayane play much bigger roles.

Kasumi has become a symbol of the Dead or Alive franchise and is the personal favourite of Team Ninja's founder and the series' creator Tomonobu Itagaki. She has been the subject of various merchandise and was used to promote the Xbox consoles in Japan. Kasumi is a popular sex symbol in video game culture and an iconic ninja character. Due to differences in cultural norms, she has attracted some controversy in the West involving eroticism and the use of underage female characters in video games.

Conception and design

Tomonobu Itagaki originally envisioned the character to be male, before changing her sex. As Kasumi became more and more kawaii, he decided to make her the lead character. The rest of his team was only half-convinced at first but warmed up to the idea eventually.[11] Kasumi and the other ninja characters are "like superheroes" compared to the more realistic fighters, regarded as a "fantasy element" by Dead or Alive 6 art director and scenario writer Yutaka Saito.[12] Her primary outfit was designed to keep "in mind of materials available to cosplayers at the time"[13]

Kasumi is 5 feet 2.25 inches (1.5812 m) and with three-sizes of 35-21-33.

Japanese schoolgirl uniforms,[15][16] and bikinis. Commonly, her default (and sometimes only, in most of her guest appearances) costume has been her blue-and-white "Brilliant Lapis" (originally white-and-red, later known as "Immaculate White"), made of a revealing and puff-sleeved Japanese tunic (later with swan-themed ornaments), a sash, thigh-high tabi, sandals with shin guards, hand guards with metal wristbands, and a choker. According to IGN, she had the best outfits of the characters in Dead or Alive Ultimate—the expanded compilation of the first two DOA games—in which "she looks great and her outfits are fantastic."[14] A planned new main costume for Kasumi in Dead or Alive: Dimensions upset some fans when the game was announced in 2010.[17]

She was the youngest character in the original version of the first game.

mod for DOA5 modified her training suit to remove most of the clothing.[30]

In 2012, 16 years after her debut appearance, Kasumi was redesigned to look less cartoon-like and more realistic with a "grown up" appearance in DOA5.

GamesRadar noted that "the manga influences on her facial features—while still apparent—have been scaled right back [a]nd her boobs seem less ludicrously unmanageable."[32] Itagaki, who has left Team Ninja in 2008, said in 2014: "Straightly speakin’, my daughter was totally ruined, spoiled. I can't/shouldn't avert my eyes from that fact. Many DOA fans here are crying, I will do something for DOA after I finished Devil's Third."[34] Kasumi's main costume has been different for the first time in Dead or Alive 6 (described as an armored "full-body skin-tight catsuit with combat heels"[35]), but her iconic blue outfit still does appear in the game.[36]

Kasumi returns again in

NiCO

Kasumi clones

In the series' storyline, DOATEC uses Kasumi's

boss character
in Dead or Alive 2 and also appears in Dead or Alive Ultimate. She is defeated by Kasumi and the project undergoes another phase known as Project Alpha-2. Most of Kasumi's chapters in the story mode of Dead or Alive 5 are actually following her other, unknowing clone.

The character was later redesigned to appear as a translucent, liquid-like form of Kasumi—the ultimate stage of Alpha series human weapons known as Alpha-152 (アルファ・イチゴーニ, Arufa Ichi-gō-ni), who "detests all things and her goal is only to destroy."

Bayman's special forces team in a war zone. She has debuted as a playable character in the Arcade version of Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, after which she was made available as downloadable content (DLC) in console version after with the new character Marie Rose. Unlike the other clones, Phase-4 wants to live as a human being. She has her own, very different[51] fighting style, which mixes the moves of Kasumi and Ayane.[52] According to Joystiq, Phase-4's various costumes "bear the trademark hypersexuality that Team Ninja infuses into all of its games" but "generally revolve around a hood, making her the most brooding, angsty version of Kasumi to date."[53] She was not originally planned to return in Dead or Alive 6,[54] however was eventually included as a bonus character in a pre-order DLC package, listed as Phase 4. In the sixth game's main storyline, the mass-produced Phase 4 clones are the enemy characters, while the previous black-hooded Phase 4 who attacked Bayman's army and ran away is presumably mentioned by Lisa.[55]

In film

Devon Aoki as Kasumi in DOA: Dead or Alive.

Kasumi appeared as a lead character in the 2006 action-comedy film DOA: Dead or Alive, which is loosely based on the game series. In it, she was played by Devon Aoki, an American actress of mixed ethnicity who has previously portrayed the ninja Miho in the film Sin City. Itagaki later expressed a preference for a Japanese actress, ideally Kumiko Gotoh, but had no authority over the casting process.[77] According to Aoki, she was asked to go the film's casting interview by her 15-year-old brother. She played the game for the first time, after which she understood why Kasumi is so popular.[78] Aoki said about Kasumi in the film: "Yes, she's pretty badass ... and she's a princess. She's never been outside the palace walls. She's been very, very sheltered, because she's a princess and that's the way it is ... until the point where she actually decides to leave, she's basically been pretty sheltered but she's a capable fighter."[79]

Critical reception

Kasumi has been well received by gaming fans and professional critics for her sex appeal and her martial arts abilities, both in Japan and in the West. In 1998,

N64 Magazine described Dead or Alive 2 as "Kasumi and co" and called her "more than welcome" on the GameCube,[150] CVG stated she "looks fantastic" in this game,[38] and Dreamcast Magazine preview stated Kasumi "makes a welcome return for her second all conquering appearance under the spotlight."[19] Brazilian edition of the Xbox Official Magazine compared Kasumi's role in Dead or Alive 2 to that of Ryu in Street Fighter games as a protagonistic type of "character we all chose at the beginning, one of most versatile in all aspects, and possessing an overwhelming charisma."[151] In the Dreamcast "Character Battle" in DC Magazine, Kasumi got to semi-finals before she was defeated by Ulala.[152] Reporting on Dead or Alive Ultimate in 2004, Video Games Daily called her "everyone's favourite fighting chick".[153] Kasumi was the second most popular character among online players of Ultimate,[154] about which IGN declared that "they love Kasumi because she has the best overall outfits in the game" and noted her for having "has, by far, the most bizarre background of any DOA girl."[14] In 2013, Retro Gamer chose Kasumi as one of the 19 "coolest fighters from the last 30 years" and noted she is "clearly the face of Dead or Alive."[155] Some scholars used her and Tomb Raider's Lara Croft as examples of the characters embodying "unique aesthetic for perfection" - a hyperreal, exaggerated 'hyperbody'.[156][157][158]

According to

G4's show Video Game Vixens in the category 'Dressed to Kill'.[161] That same year, Kasumi also won the "Who is the hottest female character on Xbox?" poll by Official Xbox Magazine, when 52% of all votes were cast on her (Street Fighter's Chun-Li came second with 11%), with the magazine's staff commenting that it was no surprise to them.[162] She won the G-Phoria 2007 award in the category "Best Hottest Babe", garnering 55% of all votes,[163][164] came third after Mai Shiranui from The King of Fighters and Chun-Li in a Korean Internet fan poll for White Day 2009,[165] just as she later did in poll for the most erotic girl in the history of fighting games conducted by Japanese web portal Goo in 2016[166] (coming fourth in 2018[167]), and was voted second in the "Miss of Video Games 2012" poll by Polish magazine PSX Extreme.[168] PSX Extreme's Daniel Żelazny ranked her blue shinobi attire as the eight best female costume in video games in 2014, noting she is one of favourite game characters among cosplayers.[169]

Joystick Division's James Hawkins described Kasumi as "a deadly fighter when she has to be, and a caring, passionate person when she doesn't. In a game full of sexy, fatalistic fighters, separating from the pack is a truly impressive feat."[170] In 2011, Polish web portal Wirtualna Polska listed her as one of the 15 "girls that will kick your ass" and noted that even though she was created as a strong female character just to appeal to "low tastes of some male players," she is still "a tough chick".[171] Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 criticized her as an "insufferable Mary Sue," particularly in Dimensions.[29]

A cosplayer at Tokyo Game Show 2011. Kasumi has become a frequent subject of cosplay,[172] especially in Japan[173][174] and including male cross-players[175]

Writing about the character's popularity in

professional gamer Marjorie Bartell "Kasumi Chan"[180] was inspired by the character.[25] The alias of another professional gamer, Marie-Laure Norindr "Kayane" from France, was created from a conjunction of the names of her two favourite DOA characters, Kasumi and Ayane.[181]

Multiple publications have chosen Kasumi as a video game sex symbol,[182] and listed her as one of the sexiest video game characters.[183] Chris Carle of IGN wrote, "this sultry redhead is also a fan favorite, and it's not difficult to see why. In addition to being gifted as a fighter, she's been graced with one of the finest digital bodies ever. Also, she is a freaking ninja."[184] TeamXbox ranked her as the third-top "Xbox babe" in 2004, declaring: "When we imagine our ideal Tecmo babe, Kasumi fits the bill perfectly. She has fought her way into the hearts and minds of millions of gamers".[185] benchmark.pl included her on its list of the most sexy female video game protagonists.[186] Vietnamese daily Thanh Niên praised her for having a "kind and sincere heart", citing her as a popular subject of cosplay and fan works due to her "hot body" and "simple yet economical" attire.[172]

Kasumi is a popular subject of unofficial

Ultra Street Fighter IV, mapping her over Chun-Li.[192]

Film version

The film adaptation's version of Kasumi garnered mostly negative reception, as did the film itself.

NY Daily News' critic Jack Mathews, who thought Kasumi was a Chinese princess.[196] Mikel Reparaz of GamesRadar opined the scene in which Kasumi leaves her clan was the film's "most ridiculous" scene and included it in his 2009 list of the 16 "most awesomely bad" video game movie moments.[197] UGO declared Kasumi's "transitioning from martial art fight scene to skydiving without blinking" as the film's defining moment, noting her "keeping conservative in a world full of boob".[198]

Polish web portal Gildia.pl featured the video game version of Kasumi as their "Gamegirl of the Week", but called Aoki's role in the film a "total setback".[199] According to Dan Amrich of Xbox Official Magazine, "the melodrama of rogue ninja Kasumi's search for her brother doesn't work if the people telling the tale don't bother to, you know, act."[200] Roger Moore from Orlando Sentinel opined Natassia Malthe's (the film's Ayane) purple hair "makes her look even less Japanese than Aoki,"[201] Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 commented Kasumi was "sadly played by pancake-face Devon Aoki,"[202] and Merca Player pointed out Aoki lacked "the 'size'" to portray "the ninja with the world's most perfect cleavage."[203] Nevertheless, Complex ranked her as tenth on their 2011 list of "hottest women in video game movies," but with a likeness factor of only 52%.[194]
