Cherry Blossoms: Her motif, seen during her pre-fight animation where she teleports onto the field, amidst a flash of light and sakura petals.Conservation of Ninjutsu: In her DOA3 ending we see her being pursued by a shitload of ninjas from her own clan trying to kill her, and she's alone.She also wears white and/or red on occasion.
Color-Coded Characters: She's most commonly seen wearing some shade of blue or pink.Canon Immigrant: Noted in the preceding entry.She also appears in a couple of the Monster Rancher games, and her blue costume is used in Super Swing Golf and Fatal Frame II.Also in the Warriors Orochi series, making her the fifth DOA character to be added to the roster (behind Ayane, Ryu, Rachel and Momiji).Kasumi's briefly seen in Sigma 2 (we only get to see her from behind), but didn't become playable until NG 3: Razor's Edge though her chapters aren't a part of the main story. Kasumi, along with Ayane, became playable characters in the Ninja Gaiden series.As of the ending of Dead or Alive 5, they seem to have reconciled. Unlike most examples, however, Ayane isn't evil, just Anti-Heroic, and the antagonism was mostly on Ayane's side. When they discover that they are half-sisters and Ayane is the product of rape, Ayane turned on Kasumi out of jealousy that the former was raised in luxury and beloved by everyone while she was scorned and hated by the same people, and is currently the one tasked with assassinating Kasumi after she left the village to pursue Raidou. They were best friends as children, especially given Ayane's status as a village pariah. Cain and Abel: The Abel to Ayane's Cain.It even was her default in Dead or Alive 2. Braids of Action: One of her hair styles.Blue Is Heroic: Often wears blue kimonos and dresses, and is The Heroine of the series.Appears to be developing this for her true baby sister Ayane in more recent games. She's the one that gets to Raidou when Hayate falls into a coma from an attack. Big Sister Instinct: Inverted to more like Little Sister Instinct.Just ask Raidou, who, in the past, raped her mother, crippled her big brother Hayate, and is an affront to everything she believes in and lives for. She's still a trained ninja and assassin, and if you push her far enough or harm her loved ones and friends, you will know pain. Beware the Nice Ones: Kasumi is a sweet, kindhearted soul, and a Martial Pacifist through and through who makes it clear she dislikes even the thought of hurting others, much less killing.Berserk Button: Don't try to harm her brother or you'll be dead before long.Authority Equals Asskicking: Subverted? Her abilities didn't seem to really show up until she was threatened with clan leadership, which she ran away from.Apologetic Attacker: Heck, one of her win quotes in the original game actually depicts her politely bowing to her defeated opponent and asking if they're alright.DOA6 seems to indicate that it's the latter.There are hints that indicate both scenarios. Ambiguous Situation: In DOA5, by the final chapter it's clear that Hayate and Ayane don't pursue Kasumi any more, but it's not clear whether she's been accepted back in the Mugen Tenshin Clan or she's still on the run and taking refuge in the Hayabusa village.Aloof Big Sister: Her attitude towards Ayane has shades of this, especially in Dimensions.The real Kasumi then turns up near the end of the story mode. However, that Kasumi is later revealed to be another Alpha clone. Actually a Doombot: Partway through DOA5's story mode, Kasumi is killed by Ayane and Hayate.Absolute Cleavage: In all her default costumes with the exception of her default in DOA 6.Once she rescued Hayate and destroyed the clones, Kasumi swore to take down and defeat Donovan. When Hayate gets into trouble, Hayabusa summons the real Kasumi note who is not clear if at this point she has been accepted back to her home village or is taking refuge in Hayabusa's village, as Muramasa from Ninja Gaiden is seen there to come and help. Hayate caught wind of this and along with Ayane, killed this clone. This is because this Kasumi is actually a perfect Alpha clone that acts perfectly like the original.
In the 5th game, Kasumi becomes Helena's 'ally'/'messenger' in order to hunt down the remaining Alpha-152, in a slightly reckless degree.
