Brute they ARE doing that, look at this recent DLC both genders,new stage, and we got a new character down the pipeline i think its a bit unfair to them when they are trying.
I want to specify that I made my requests because I read that the article is dated today, so the mentioned interview to Hayashi has to be of these days. I think that was necessary to give a (little) contribute for reiterating once again the message that the players like to play with the male characters (message that it's arrived to Hayashi, otherwise he couldn't say that oversea the fans are requesting for male outfits, sadly he has united the info with the concrete data of the sells of the DLCs).
Without this article I wouldn't send anything, just because the recent attitude of Team Ninja seemed to me the opposite: they gave a varied school theme DLC (some people can dislike it anyway, but it was objectively a big step forward compared to some previous packs for DoA5), now they are bringing back classical and original outfits, for female and males + a new stage. To this we have to add a new character that, if confirmed to be Tengu, would be a great gift for the fans that requested it (considered that it's not neither a girl, neither a popular character).
Judging from their actions, TN seems to be on the right path and I agree with you; it was this interview of Hayashi that gave me the feat that this change of attitude could be just temporary...
Talking about Hayabusa and no sexy outfits... Hello?! Isn't his black default ninja outfit super sexualised? It does look very much like bdsm fetish wear to me. And I'm sure, that was
exactly Team Ninja's intention. XD
Who said the opposite? All the male characters in DoA5 were sexualized, an user talk about it even in the comments of the article previously linked.
The fact is that there are old not sexualized outfits that the fans would like to have in the game, but this is overall a problem for the female cast.
