Kasumi (DOA1)

Kasumi is torn between her responsibilities and the urge to know the truth. Kasumi's brother, Hayate, was rightful heir to the Mugen Tenshin style and ready to succeed as the 18th leader of the clan... until one fateful day when an assassin attacked and crippled him. Kasumi's father, Shiden, was left bitter and refuses to discuss the details surrounding the attack on Hayate. He ordered Kasumi to succeed her brother's position as the leader of the Mugen Tenshin style.

However, Kasumi secretly left her village, without leaving a trace, in order to avenge her brother and seek out the truth...

Kasumi's brother, Hayate, was next in line to succeed as the 18th master of the Mugen Tenshin Academy... until one fateful day when an assassin attacked and crippled him. Her father Shiden was left bitter and refuses to mention the details surrounding the attack. Kasumi wants revenge; and she's determined to succeed as the 18th master of the school.

Watch out for Kasumi - if you think she's quiet and kittenish, you're in for an ugly surprise. Kasumi's expertise is Assassin-style Ninjutsu, and like a cat, you never see her coming until it's too late.

The player is shown the ending text In the Dead or Alive arcade game if the game is set to Japanese.

"I won, Brother,"

She thought, looking down at her brother's enemy fallen at her feet. As if some weight had been lifted off her chest, she recalled the memories of her countryside family which she had forced herself to forget.

The brother who was always with her since her childhood. The parents who used to always look fondly after her...

"I want to return home..."

In these sorrowful thoughts, her heart warmed up. While in a daze, she started walking out of the fog which had somewhat cleared.
