As for Kasumi I prefer Sakura. quite the contrary. we could still keep zack funny even with talented english voice acting. whomever helms the project just needs the dedication.

I haven't ever played the game, but I've heard Rodman talk a couple of times on TV and I wasn't impressed with their choice. As Japanese goes, Bin Shimada is perfect in the role. A street punk who speaks perfect Japanese and carries the street attitude with it is absolutely cool. Zack with this Japanese voice is a tough act to follow, but I believe it can be done. I don't think D-Rod will work, though.

I really didn't think NBA basketball was something that Japanese people followed, at all. Certainly not enough to build a character off a moderately famous player. Tecmo's US bunch doesn't strike me as being very tight. Or rather they haven't in the past. I tried to email them a couple of years ago and at that time, the email address they had on their website bounced. I guess Tecmo and bouncing just go together. Maybe today they have it together a bit better, but I'd bet English voice acting is not high on their game agenda.

Posts: 105 Group: Kunoichi Forum Member Member #379 Joined: October 22, 2004	Well, it makes sense I reckon, that they had some inspiration behind the characters. I mean, it would be very difficult to design a character with absolutely no initial direction whatsoever. I gotta ask then. What person and/or other character inspired Kasumi? I'm sure of two obvious ones. Jann-Lee and LeiFang are both IMO inspired by the best-known martial artist of the 20th Century, and likely the most talented one of our time, Bruce Lee.

What person and/or other character inspired Kasumi? that's a good question. i'm not certain on her, only thing i do know is she's not the creator's favorite.

Posts: 105 Group: Kunoichi Forum Member Member #379 Joined: October 22, 2004	Is Mr. Itagaki the one who comes up with these characters? I find it both interesting and ironic Kasumi is not "the favorite". A lot of Tecmo's marketing of the DOA series proper in Japan has revolved around her. Why exactly I'm not sure. I noticed that the Japanese DOA3 cover features Ayane solo, which is rather unusual.

"redheads = :3 :3 :3" Posts: 2,854 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #236 Joined: August 6, 2004	in most cases, i believe itagaki-san comes up with some of the concepts. he may have had a huge hand in the development of the roster we know and love today, but by no means would i say he soley created each and every last person (IMO). as for kasumi, when you think of Dead or Alive, you think of kasumi. she sells the franchise and she's the character we mostly have known and played first. as for what's placed on the box covers, it may be a majority voting between the company.

T-KNF Posts: 801 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #581 Joined: January 8, 2005	blueboy Jan 4 2007, 12:22 AM hitomi's itagaki-san's favorite. no his favorite is Kasumi if your referring to that question why he picked Hitomi for doau instead of Christie and Brad Wong he meant out of those three Hitomi is his favorite. He even picks Kasumi in tournys and I don't know if you would take this seriously but in DOAX2 when you check the Kasumi coin with Kokoro she says "Looks like Mr. Sunglasses is playing favorite....". Heh even in the G4 interview you see I forgot if it was a statue or toy but can see it in the background. http://babes.entertainment.ign.com/article...5/745624p1.html Quote: We kick the feature off with Itagaki's personal favorite, Kasumi. This sultry redhead is also a fan favorite, and it's not difficult to see why

"redheads = :3 :3 :3" Posts: 2,854 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #236 Joined: August 6, 2004	well let me reiterate by saying hitomi's one of his favorite girls. sorry for the mislead pixel. i've read otherwise about hitomi's status, which is why i stated as so.
