Kasumi (かすみ, Kasumi) is a Japanese kunoichi of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan, who debuted in the first Dead or Alive. Kasumi became a "Runaway Shinobi" after she ran away from home in order to avenge her older brother, Hayate. She is also the older half-sister, and cousin of Ayane.
Kasumi is the daughter and second child of Shiden and Ayame, and was born into the Mugen Tenshin Clan's head family as the second in line to the title of leader, after her brother Hayate.
When they were children, Kasumi and Ayane - unaware that they were related - played together as best friends, althought the clan saw Ayane as a "cursed child" and didn't want Kasumi to be around her. Her relationship with Hayate was also ideal, with the two playing games and training together happily.
However, once Ayane learned of her true heritage, and the children now knew that they were siblings, Kasumi's friendship with Ayane ended due to Ayane's jealous anger over her mistreatment by the clan, centering her animosity on the "princess" Kasumi.
Role in DYOS
Due because she was a nukenin (Runaway ninja) and ran away from the clan years before, she avoided being killed when the Enclave destroyed her village. She managed to immigrate to the Republic and secured a job as a secretary in an accounting firm in New Port City. She never involved herself in the events in Plans within Plans, perfering to keep a low profile. She almost crossed paths with Ayane though her half-sister was distracted by two CIA agents who ambushed her, Samus Aran, and Sgt. Mags.
