humanoid female, belongs to Dead or Alive (characters list)
Ayane originally entered the Dead or Alive tournament in a quest to locate her long-lost foster father Genra.

What she learned, though, was that DOATEC, though the infamous Omega Project, had turned Genra into a puppet. She is the most powerful Shinobi in Hajin Mon, and she has devoted herself to putting her foster father out of his misery.
Her primary advantages are speed and agility, which allow her to easily dodge attacks and exploit enemies' weak spots, making up for her relative lack of reach and brute strength. Ayane is a ninja assassin. She is a half-sister of Kasumi and Hayate(EIN) and holds a grudge against Kasumi. On the contrary, she loves and admires her elder brother very much, and is jealous of Kasumi, who was raised with him, although she doesn't admit this of course. Her personality is very "cool" and aloof, and she is eager to fight Kasumi in order to avoid living in her shadow (she also strongly disagrees with Kasumi's decision to leave the Mugen Tenshin clan in search of Hayate). Her story and that of Kasumi are somewhat shrouded in mystery. This is exactly what "Itagaki" wanted. It is rumored that Ayane's age is not included among her stats because she is under 18. This avoids trouble in (the west) concerning lolita-type girls in his videogames. There is no such problem in Japan, because there is a lower age of consent, and it is believed that younger gamers can more easily identify with young characters like Ayane and Kasumi. She may have a cool and spicy attitude, but Ayane is a genuinely Good person, although she doesn't express her emotions often.
