dead or alive code: cronus
a cancelled project by itagaki that was said to be an action game focusing on kasumi & ayane before the doa tournament. it was also teased with doa4 promo material but with his departure from team ninja, the prototype game also became lost media.
Here's something that some might not know. The Aerial Garden in the original #DOA2 game can be set to be in the nighttime, sunset or daytime. This is such a nice touch for a game that came out more than 25 years ago! We absolutely need this back in #DOA7!
even tho it's very out of character for her, i think adding kasumi to ng3re was really great because we've never seen her in such a setting especially being this violent... that's mother fr
I drew Kasumi's new suit. I really like it, and I like how blue has become part of her identity
I hope the next DOA brings us many-many varied suits for all the characters

「❀ Behind Kasumi‘s new #DOA6LR costume」
Q: What was the design concept? Did you use any particular references?
As a new costume for Kasumi, the team came up with a variety of ideas, including a futuristic sci-fi outfit and cute casual clothing. While all of the concepts were good, we ultimately chose the one that best conveyed Kasumi’s solitude, dignity, and above all, her strength as the main protagonist of Dead or Alive.
Kasumi already has many ninja outfits, including “Brilliant Lapis” (瑠璃光). This time, however, we combined a modern combat suit with design elements inspired by traditional Japanese jinbaori (a surcoat worn over armor by samurai) and samurai armor. The result is a costume that feels modern, yet still carries a distinctly traditional Japanese atmosphere.
Q: What was the naming concept behind the costume?
For the series name, we chose “Senjin” (戦陣, “Battle Formation” or “Battle Lines”), imagining Kasumi standing at the forefront of the battlefield. Even though she became a runaway ninja, the costume features an embroidered “霞” (Kasumi) to symbolize her resolve to continue carrying the name and legacy of the Mugen Tenshin ninja school. As for the individual costume names, we chose the names of flowers whose flower meanings evoke the image of Kasumi as a woman, rather than just as a ninja or fighter.
Q: What aspects did you put the most effort into and what would you especially like players to notice?
We paid particular attention to capturing the traditional Japanese textures, especially those of the armor and jinbaori. For example, the reflections on the lacquered armor change depending on the stage’s lighting, giving the costume a different look in different environments.
We hope players will enjoy seeing it in a variety of situations!
