If I remember correctly. That's the reason she's his favorite.

"redheads = :3 :3 :3" Posts: 2,854 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #236 Joined: August 6, 2004	Pixel Jan 3 2007, 06:17 PM 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. come to think of it, doesn't itagaki-san have a daughter? i wouldn't be surprised if she was his inspiration for kasumi, but it's just a hunch i've on it. as for the rest of the roster: Bass: inspired from the one and only "Hulk Hogan". Zack: inspired from the ever so controversial "D-Rod" himself. Lisa: now this is just a hunch, but i believe her rendition was from a luchodor wrestler by the name of "Ultimo Dragon" (his name illudes me if confused). i'm not a huge wrestling fanatic, but back during my childhood, i remember such a character in the wwe. other additions are "rey mysterio" and an other all-japan luchodor wrestler/s (if there is one).

"redheads = :3 :3 :3" Posts: 2,854 Group: Kunoichi Honorary member Member #236 Joined: August 6, 2004	probably so. i only made that assumption based on her last outfit. when i unlocked it, she reminded me of "ultimo dragon", color scheme included. not saying that this is a huge influence, but it may have played a role within her development fighting wise. character wise, lisa doesn't have enough of a background to support this theory. maybe in DoA5 her personality will develop more than what's currently seen.

Going back to the voices thing for a minute, I wonder how they picked who did which character. I have a theory on how they are hired. In this case, Tecmo calls up a well-known agency (read: Aoni Production) and say "I need such-and-such number of people." The agency then picks the group of seiyuu for the project and sends them all over for recording, though not necessarily at the same time. What I really wonder is who says for example "Ok, Midorikawa-san, you'll be Ein." However it works, I'll give Tecmo marks for consistency- AFAIK only 2 voice actors changed through a decade of DOA. Not only that, but most if not all of them kept the same character. (Though sometimes they had small additional roles.)

That's wrong, Tina's voice changed too, because her voice in the first one sounded like a woman in her late thirties, and that was changed to a more younger voice. Wiseass overload!

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! I had two in mind - Tina and of course Kasumi. Was there a third voice change as well? Seems like Tina wasn't originally a blonde, she was a brunette. I wonder why Tecmo changed that. I like the newer Tina voice (Yuuko Nagashima, I believe) better than the older one (Mami Koyama.)

I wonder why Tecmo changed that. to reflect her newfound status as a popular female wrestler and sex symbol/icon. being a "blonde" is an age old stereotype pertaining to fitting in "hollywood". tina's achieving it all, and one of those keystones was to change her hair color. being a blonde also has the stereotype of having a lack of inteligence (i.e ditzy). tina is by no means stupid, and for that i don't like her as a blonde, it's too generic. she should be a brunette again, but i can't make that change........
