Welcome, fellow Hajin Mon brethren. Let us come together and further hone our skills in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu Arts for combat against our foes.
This will be our Combo Discussion thread. All viable combos will be included in the combo list. In other words, anything involving Normal Hit Launchers (8K, BT4K, 4P+K, and BT3P), Counter Hits, High Counter Hits, Counter Holds and her 64H+P throw. But let's try to focus only on viable combos for our Killer Kunoichi.
I will update this post with a list of combos, and keep it updated when more combos are found over time.
Combo list will be divided into sections of different attack setups, from basic combos, to optimal combos, force techs, and possibly "viable" critical burst combos and power launcher combos. A section for attacks that launch on counter and hi counter will be added as well. The list will continue to grow over time.
I've gone ahead and updated the OP of this thread for DOA5LR. If anyone wants combos for DOA5 Vanilla, I have the original list archived and is available as a download at the bottom of the OP as a .txt file.
The OP now consists of a section for Power Launcher Combos and a section for 3H+K's bound combos. Power Launcher section is underneath Critical Burst, the very bottom of the OP. 3H+K bound section is right above the Sitdown stun into Launch section.
Both sections will need to be updated and filled with combos, so let's get to work on those. I'll be adding my own viable content there once I get the game.

H+P = Hold plus Punch (Throw Command)
H+K = Hold plus Kick
Example: 2K = Down and Kick
NH = Normal Hit
CH = Counter Hit
HCH = Hi Counter HIt
Optimal = The best choice due to being completely guaranteed on all weight classes and any ground terrain.
Starter = The attack that is used as the attack launch, which is followed by a juggle. Unless specified otherwise.
Example: Starter 4P on Hi counter
4P > BTPP4PP7K
4P being the launch attack, and BTPP4PP7K being the followup juggle.
Weight Classes;
Feather
Super Light
Light
Welter
Middle
Cruiser
Heavy
Super Heavy
NOTE: I am going cram Super Light weight and Light weight for Ayane's juggle height. As being a Super Light or Light makes no difference to her combo potential. So, anything that includes Light weight, will include Super Light weight as well.
Anything that says "Universal" means that combo can be hit confirmed on all weight classes.

BT6P > 66KK4 > BTPP4PP7K - CH = 94 /HCH = 117 *Only when nearing a wall or object, causes Wall Splat*
HajinShinobi's Note: 66KK4 or BTPP6KK4 > BTPP4PP7K can be used from any combo that involves 66KK4 or BTPP6KK4 as the air juggle when nearing a wall or object. This type of combo into Wall Splat will deal a considerable amount of damage. Taking either a quarter or nearly half the opponent's health.

4K > 4P+K > BTPP6KK4 > BT7K - NH = 73/CH = 81 *Viable on Mid/Heavy/Super Heavy weights*
HajinShinobi's Note: 4K now gives an unholdable stun on normal hit and counter hit. It will still cause a ground bounce launch on hi counter hit. 4K can still be stagger escaped but all of your launchers listed above are still guaranteed. Although 4P+K will probably get a lower launch height if 4K is stagger escaped. This is post 1.03a patch update.

64H > 236K wall rope combos
Aerospark's;
64H > 236K > 6PP > PP6P > BTPP4PP7K = 145 (155 with electric rope) *Feather to lightweight only*
Bits on the above; 6PP can be stagger escaped to lessen the height. However, you can still get 132 (142 with electric rope) even if they stagger escape.
64H > 236K > 9PP > PP6P > BTPP4PP7K = 149 (159 with electric rope) *Feather to lightweight only*
This is completely inescapable and stagger escape does not lessen 9PP's launch height.
The following underlined can be hit confirmed on from Feather weight to Heavy weight (Genfu)
64H > 236K > H+K > P4P > 7K = 116 (126 with electric rope)
64H > 236K > H+K > 4P+K > BT7K = 114 (124 with electric rope)

64H > 236K > 9PP > 4P+K > Free Cancel > PP6PK = 143 (153 with electric rope) *Does not hit Heavy and Super Heavyweight*
When combo'ing the Super Heavyweight characters, you will need to go straight for the juggle after launch instead. Relaunching them will not allow you to juggle them afterward.
Example: 64H > 236K > 4P+K > BTPP4PP7K or Free Cancel > PP6PK will be ideal.
None of the above can held out of, and that's all neutral hit damage.
When you hit a back facing opponent with 236K at a fair range from the ropes, it'll bounce them back near the center of the ring with their back facing toward you. They're unable to do anything for 46 frames (33 frames at faster stagger escape). This gives you plenty of time to set up your next attack, which SHOULD be a launcher because further damage into threshold allows the opponent to get out of this situation. SO LAUNCH!
All of the above are 100% inescapable up to the launcher of choice after the 236K. This is only ever false if you end up in front or to the side of the opponent.
64H Wall Combos
This is only done when your back is near the wall.

Starter 46H
46H > 8KK > BT4P > BTPP4PP7K - NH = 66/CH = 88/HCH = 102
Tips on timing this juggle: After successfully holding a non-jumping mid kick with 46H. Walk forward once (two footsteps for Ayane), then proceed to do the 8KK and followup with the rest of the juggle. In addition, BT4P after 8KK can always be left out if you're missing the timing on it. The additional walk to hit confirm 8KK isn't necessary when close to the wall either.
46H > 8K > 8KK > BTPP4PP7K - HCH = 101
46H > 8K > 66KK4 > BT7K - HCH = 101
46H > 8K > 66KK4 > BT4P~K - HCH = 104
46H > 44[P+K] > 8KK > BTPP4PP7K - HCH = 115

Aerospark's;

64H+P > 236K > 9PP > PP6P > BTPP4PP7K = 152 (162 with electric rope) *Feather to lightweight only*
This is completely inescapable and stagger escape does not lessen 9PP's launch height.

None of the above can held out of, including Aerospark's. That's all neutral hit damage.
When combo'ing the Super Heavyweight characters, you will need to go straight for the juggle after launch instead. Relaunching them will not allow you to juggle them afterward.
Example: 64H > 236K > 4P+K > BTPP4PP7K or Free Cancel > PP6PK will be ideal.
When you're knocked into the ropes from a good distance with 236K, it'll bounce you back near the center of the ring with your back facing the opponent, you're unable to do anything for 46 frames (33 frames at faster stagger escape). This gives you plenty of time to set up your next attack, which SHOULD be a launcher because further damage into threshold allows the opponent to get out of this situation. SO LAUNCH!
All of the above are 100% inescapable up to the launcher of choice after the 236K. This is only ever false if you end up in front or to the side of the opponent.
64H+P Wall Combos
This is only done when your back is near the wall.
64H+P > 236K > PP6PK = 111 *Universal*
This is devastating as neutral hit damage because the 236K will always hit the opponent as Close Hit from upclose BT position.
