 * 1) 1. - Kasumi. It has been her from day one and always will be her. In 2001, I witnessed my friend play Dead or Alive 3 for the original XBox. First character he used was Kasumi and I after that day I was hooked to the game and her as a character. Seeing as I only owned a PS2 at this time, the next day I immediately begged for the money from my dad and ran out and picked up Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore. First character I played as? You guessed it, Kasumi. A little less than a month after that, Christmas rolled around and I received the XBox I asked for, and one single game. Dead or Alive 3. Countless hours went into playing that game and playing Kasumi as my main character. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball? 100+ hours just to collect every swimsuit for Kasumi. DOA2U, collected all 20 of Kasumi's costumes before I touched any other character. DOA4, of course I beat the story mode with her first and played her the most online.

The real question is why though. Initially, it was the easy answer of the girl is omg cuteeee. Massively heart the hair color, the big brown eyes are amazing, the damn stockings in her costume always get me, and I love that she is made up of very soft features. I am a man who prefers cute to sexy. Even though I have grown older and grown a bit out of the teenage love for anime girls, her Dead or Alive 5 "more-realistic" redesign had my jaw dropped watching her reveal trailer. Personality wise, I have always preferred her innocent personality over the other DOA girls. I will take her good-hearted, selfless personality traits any time. Even though these traits have caused her current issues with being hunted, I admire her determination in continuing to fight, even when attacked by the one you saved. Also her fighting style is perfect for me. One of the reasons I prefer DOA over other fighting games is because of the speed of the game. Who better demonstrates this than Kasumi, the fastest character in the game. Quick strikes to gain advantage to bait people into counters, the coolest running throw ever, flipping all over the place, and fancy teleports = awesomeness. Pretty sure my mind was blown when I saw some of the offensive teleport combos in her DOA5 reveal video. Lastly, she is a ninja...I'm a sucker for ninjas.


 * 1) 2 - Even though I own both consoles, I will have to vote the much more played 360 I have.
