Kasumi (かすみ, Kasumi)

Is a player character in Dead or Alive video game series. Kasumi (her name translates to "Mist"), also known as "the Kunoichi of Destiny", is a teenage female shinobi skilled in the Mugen Tenshin style of ninjutsu. She was to become the 18th Master of the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan, but ran away in order to enter the Dead or Alive tournament and defeat Raidou, who crippled her brother Hayate. Leaving the secretive ninja clan made her a nukenin (runaway shinobi), obliged to live on the run from her former comrades who are now seeking to hunt her down.

She is a highly skilled kunoichi, with deadly abilities. But she does not enjoy fighting, and often expresses a desire to avoid confrontation. She values her family and seeks to return home in peace. In all of the tournaments except the first her goal is not to win or even to fight; she simply wishes to meet Hayate. Kasumi dislikes seeing people suffer from at the hands of her skills and often shows mercy even to enemies. However she is a trained shinobi who is capable of killing, though, and she foregoes showing mercy to particularly dangerous adversaries or those who have wronged her or her family.

There is an emphasis on juggling since countering, and fast recovery times prevent slow, technical sets of moves in most instances.
