Overview

The insanely attractive Kasumi is a female character that made her video game debut in the original Dead or Alive (1996). As one of the series’ original characters, Kasumi is often portrayed as Dead or Alive’s unofficial mascot, of sorts, as she is one of the game’s most popular characters and serves as one of its main protagonists. Characterized as the daughter of Shiden and Ayame, Kasumi was raised in an extremely wealthy (and pampering) home from a young age, granting her tremendous security, protection, and insulation from the effects of the outside world. Tragic circumstances would soon topple her family, however, as Kasumi’s brother, Hayate, was suddenly murdered by an unknown assailant. Seeking to avenge her brother’s death, Kasumi later left her aristocratic life in order to enter the first “Dead or Alive” tournament. There, she hoped to uncover the mystery surrounding her brother’s killer and to bring justice to his untimely (and unnecessary) death.

Powers and Abilities

Kasumi is an extremely gifted and accomplished fighter in the Dead or Alive franchise, and is renowned for her well-balanced nature in regard to her power, strength, and natural abilities. Possessing lightning-quick agility and speed, Kasumi is capable of quickly overwhelming her opponents before they can muster an effective defense against her attacks. Likewise, she possesses a versatile range in her attacks, and is capable of hitting targets at both short and long-range. Among some of her most notable moves are the powerful “roundhouse kick,” and “backwards flip kick.” She is also capable of teleporting at will, giving her a distinct advantage over her adversaries in combat. Taken together, she is virtually unstoppable when controlled by an experienced gamer.

Appearance

Regarding her physical attributes, Kasumi is well-known in the video game industry for her slender build, athletic frame, and nearly flawless skin. Although her character has underwent a number of artistic revisions in recent decades, much of her physical appearance has remained largely the same. This includes her signature chestnut-brown hair, amber-colored eyes, as well as her rounded face, thin nose, and full set of lips. Highlighting these features is her extremely revealing kimono dress that is cut high near the legs. Although this feature was supposedly designed for greater movement in the legs, her dress also reveals a considerable amount of cleavage, as well as her signature white stockings, and tiny white thong when either jumping or kicking. When viewed alongside her massive bust, slim waist, and wide hips that give her a distinct “hourglass” shape, one thing is certainly clear: Kasumi is a true head-turner, and is truly one of the sexiest video game characters ever created!
