Shuka has red eyes and long blonde hair that she has tied into two long braids. She is usually shown wearing a dark red dress, though she wore a black dress when she visited Trinity 's event. Whenever she becomes serious, it is shown by her having black eyes.

Shuka is typically friendly with people but can become deadly if needed. Originally, she became interested in Sudou Kaname because he was a rookie and because he managed to defeat Banda-kun , though she later falls in love with him after he beats her. Because of this, she obeys anything that Kaname tells her, and doesn't appreciate it if other men touch her, as shown when she used her sigil to sever the hand of a student that tried to flirt with her. Also, in order to impress Kaname, she is sometimes shown to get a little out of control such as when she staked her own clan in a bet with Themis . She is not afraid of dying, telling Liu Xuelan that people shouldn't have been born if they were scared of dying.
Initially, she believed that the strong would always win, and was cautious of people like Rein who were always calm and kept their emotions to themselves. However, her beliefs began to change after being defeated by Kaname, causing her to wonder if people who were truly strong were those that did whatever they could to survive, and she became accepting of those with different fighting styles.

She is able to keep calm in tough situations, such as when she insulted Wang despite him holding her. She prefers to stay indoors and was shown with a displeased expression when Nayuta mentioned that the Out of Range Village had no internet.
She dislikes being referred to as a child, sometimes reminding the person who said it that she's a first-year in middle school. After the timeskip, she modifies said phrase to mention that she's an adult. Rein's motto when it comes to Darwin's Game is to run instead of trying to fight or capture an enemy, which is how she's survived until now. Nevertheless she resolves to fight as a member of the Sunset Ravens in order to protect her new home. Rein is also concerned that her jokes are hard to understand.
Unlike Shuka, who is true to her emotions, Rein is usually calm and deals with things logically. She mentions that it feels like two Reins always exist inside of her; one appeals to her emotions while the other calmly observes, likening it to depersonalization. Because of this she is shown to be calm in emotional situations, recalling that she didn't cry when her parents got divorced.

During the battle against Eighth , she vomited upon seeing the aftermath of Kaname and Ryuuji 's massacre. However, during their stay at the village, she began to get involved and helped everyone find the culprit, in addition to actually neutralizing the threat herself.

He was shown to manipulate people to do his bidding, such as convincing Kiku to help kidnap who she believed was royalty , and would dispose of them if necessary.

So far she had only spoken through the Greed information synchronization in order to prevent humans from hearing her conversations, chastising Emulator for talking normally. Witch used the pronoun boku (僕) when referring to herself.


Darwin's Game

Xiao has medium length black hair in a bob cut. She wears a dark colored Chinese top and a long, light colored skirt.

As one of Tao's subordinates, Xiao loyally carries out orders, even if it meant potentially dealing with dangerous opponents like Liu Xuelan and having her arm cut off in order to escape. Despite this, she was shown to slightly protest Tao's decision to have Oosako healed, believing that he was already dead.


Darwin's Game

Ximing has light colored hair and a mustache. He usually wears a suit and a tie but has also been shown to wear Chinese clothes. His appearance is relatively the same after the timeskip aside from having a prosthetic from the knee down on his left leg, and uses a cane to help him walk.

As Xuelan's butler, he is loyal to her, and will obey her orders faithfully. However, he will speak out when necessary, as shown when he convinced her that she'd lost based on the conditions she agreed to. He is shown to be happy when he finds that there are still competent fighters in Japan. As he considers himself a guest in Sunset Ravens, he prefers to not voice his opinion unless necessary.


Darwin's Game

Unlike Minoru and Tooru , Yukari wasn't distrustful of Sudou Kaname and his friend, though she allowed the duel to happen as long as they had witnesses as per the rules. As a village elder, she supported Minoru, but chastised him when necessary. She was the one who offered to have Mokuren marry Kaname as his reward.

Arai is a tall center back almost as tall as Takagi .


Days

Kimishita has a lean but athletic build of average height with medium-length messy dark-brown hair, green eyes and he usually has an annoyed look on his face that often looks like he's about to pop a vein (or more, depending on his level of anger).
Kimishita wears his Seiseki uniform with a polka-dotted tie instead of the normal striped one. He also wears blue-framed glasses when studying. His casual clothes mostly consist of shirts with overly large patterns on them and clashing neon colors.
When playing, Kimishita wears Seiseki's black home kit or yellow away kit with black boots (in the manga, these are seen to be Nike boots, but the anime shows him wearing Asics boots).

Kimishita is not always an easy person to get along with, usually displaying some form of annoyance at his teammates and not hesitating to tell them exactly what he thinks they're doing wrong. He is harsh and rude and can be sarcastic at times, but he is also hardworking and intelligent and does not tolerate those who slack off and especially hates people who treat their equipment badly. As a player he is highly perfectionistic and even shows worry that he might be not good enough for national-level players like Hisahito Mizuki , or being left behind by more skillful midfielders like Kaoru Indou or Genichirou Taira of Seikan . He has poor social skills but more common sense than most of his teammates, leading to him getting embarrassed a lot, either when he tries to express his emotions or whenever he experiences second-hand embarrassment at his team's antics. Despite his attitude, he is also good-natured who will help anyone who needs it, even people he dislikes.


Days

Ubukata is a thin and slender girl with waist-length gray hair (pink hair in the anime) that has bangs hanging over her forehead, steel dark-blue eyes, she is taller than Tsukushi Tsukamoto and she has a flat chest, which is something that Jin Kazama said to feel "hard" after running into her at one point.

Ubukata is a haughty and popular student who is egotistical (excessively conceited or absorbed in oneself; self-centered) at first and quite hard on Tsukushi Tsukamoto .


Days

Taira has long brown hair that is tied up in a small ponytail with bangs hanging over forehead, brown eyes and he has a girlish look.

During his first year, Taira was the kind of player who would start attacking by himself. But him doing that would prevent him from defending his team. He was entrusted to be the core of the team so he held his head high and started to be a established playmaker. And so, he decided to work on his shoulders to increase strength.


Days

Mizuki is considered by his study partners to be very good looking. He has messy jet-black hair and his eyes are dark brown. Due to rigorous training as a freshman, his body is extremely toned and muscular.
Mizuki's training gear consists of Seiseki High School T-shirts and tank tops of various colors together with training pants and sports shorts; this also doubles as casual wear. He wears his school blazer and trousers to school and classes, but with a navy blue T-shirt instead of the standard white shirt and tie.
When playing for Seiseki's football team, Mizuki wears black Mizuno boots and black gloves together with either the black home jersey or the yellow away jersey and black shorts. His squad number #7 is printed on both the front and back of his jerseys.

Mizuki is  hard-working and kind, but also has dense and foolish tendencies. He cares deeply for Seiseki and his teammates, and they in turn respect his rapid growth in soccer. However, he often can't exactly convey what he wants from them, using onomatopoeia and neologisms to explain his plays. He's forgetful, always being late to the team bus or polishing the wrong grave, but despite his blunders, is a reliable captain. He also tends to hold grudges, refusing to acknowledge Indou's attempts at friendship because he had once beaten him in a wrestling match.
Despite his more light-hearted tendencies off the field, when Mizuki is involved in a play, he is extremely serious. He initially struggles greatly with being the captain and why he was chosen for the role, but over the course of the story, begins to understand that he represents the team's hopes. Thus, he is passionate about soccer and defeating his opponents, and is never satisfied with the level he's at. He apologizes thoroughly to the team whenever he makes small mistakes, but always asks them to let him try again. His teammates agree that despite his lack of speech-making ability, he is the only choice for captain because nothing makes them as united and hopeful as seeing him on the pitch.


Days

Jin has shoulder-length blonde hair and light brown eyes. He is considered to have very attractive features, which is repeatedly pointed out by his female classmates. Having played football since he was a child, Jin also has a toned body and lean muscles.
He likes flashy attire and tends to stand out a lot - one of his many outfits seen in the manga is a yellow Bruce Lee jumpsuit, which he wore in place of school training gear at a camp. Jin also prefers wearing flip-flops, which are his choice of footwear even when in school uniform.
Jin wears Seiseki's black home kit or yellow away kit with black Asics brand boots.

Jin is a kind person; however, he doesn't go out of his way to point out other's mistakes. As a natural genius in the sport of football, he has never been required to work hard in his life. He doesn't have an arrogant attitude, despite this, and he makes a lot of friends. He isn't afraid to talk back to the upperclassmen of Seiseki or the older players that he plays futsal regularly with.
His genius capabilities don't stop at just football. He exceeds in academics as well, easily making him the smartest among the first years in the soccer club. He has immense faith in his abilities and is usually mistaken to be an adult instead of a teenager. In the manga, he says that he is homeless which probably explains his disheveled look whenever he is in his school uniform. It was also explained in the anime that he was left to fend for himself.

Haibara has brown hair, brown eyes and he is shorter than most of the soccer team.

Sine Haibara has a small body, he lacks self confidence, unlike Hisahito Mizuki and Yuuta Usui , where only became a regular when the previous upper classmen retired. Even though he is an important part of Seiseki's strong position, he is still unconfident.


Days

Ooshiba is an incredibly tall, lean, young man. He has red hair and blue eyes, with a tan complexion.

Ooshiba is introduced as a very egocentric, lazy and narcissistic person. He thinks of himself as a genius and the ace of the team, constantly seeking the spotlight and dreaming of being the hero. Yet at the same time he does not work hard; thinking he is good enough to keep up with the team anyway, he skips practice at will, and in matches he only cares about scoring goals while leaving all other tasks to his teammates. Moreover, he is childish, spoiled, prone to temper tantrums when things don't go his way, hot-headed and violent when provoked, as well as very prone to jealousy and envy, especially towards Mizuki and Tsukushi. He also cares a lot about his appearance, to the point where he'd rather not put his all into a match than tarnish his good looks. Not the type to use his head more than necessary, Ooshiba is book-dumb, gullible and simple-minded and rarely thinks things through, putting himself into embarrassing situations on a regular basis.
However, over the course of the story he changes, and more and more of his good sides reveal themselves. He is shown more and more to care about his teammates, sometimes aggressively, seeks advice to improve as a player, and starts working harder and acknowledging his weaknesses while also learning his true strengths. Motivated by the goal of becoming the next captain and ace he learns how to (at least temporarily) keep his temper in check and acknowledge the skills of others, even if he still tends to talk down to people. He is also revealed to be kinder and more selfless than he lets on; when Tsukushi expresses a lack of confidence he tells him to have some pride despite just having been told that Tsukushi is more feared by his opponents than he is and still being furious about that, and when he has a chance to decide the practice match against Seikan he chooses to pass back to help Kimishita overcome his self-doubt instead. While he is rich, he shows no signs of elitism, actually getting embarrassed when Kazama calls him out on riding his parents' coattails and being overall generous with his money.

Higuchi is tall, almost as tall as Kiichi Ooshiba when they first met. He has short black hair and wears glasses with a half-frame, even in games.

Leaping ability: He out-jumped Ooshiba in a corner clearance by using him as a springboard.
Mind Games and Trash Talk: Out of all players in Seikan High, Higuchi initiates trash talk, to the point that Ooshiba had the urge to punch him, but he does apologize and is still a humble and gracious loser when the team loses.
Powerful tackles: When he fouled Jin Kazama , he thought for sure that he had broken his right ankle.

He does not have a very high stature (176 cm) for a defender. He has black and shaven hair, black eyes and a scar on his left side.
He is mostly seen with the Touin Academy school uniform. When playing in matches, he wears the number 4 uniform.

Ura went to Touin Middle School, where he met Hoshina , Kaidou and most of Touin's squad members.
In his final year of middle school, he played in the middle school National Finals against Yokohama which had Kisaragi . They lost 2-1 and became runner ups.


Days

He has tanned skin, with long black hair. He wears green Mizuno goalkeeping shirt.

As Nakijin is usually a backup goalkeeper, he is very observant, but when he is in the game, he is very quiet, so while he can defend well, he doesn't communicate well with his defenders.


Days

He is the shortest member of the team, and has brown mushroom-like hairstyle, done by his mother, but he hates it, and brown eyes. In the anime version, he also has cat scratches all over his face. He looks and plays like young Lionel Messi; professional soccer player from Argentina.

Despite being egotistic in his play, he is very kind-hearted, and trusts Kaoru wholeheartedly, except if he never gets the ball, then they would argue in the locker room, and is the peacemaker for the team. He doesn't tend to freeze up in big games, but he did in the Nationals Semifinals because he was worried about Kaoru and third-years' retirements if the team loses.
Although he was offered a pro contract , Narukami turned them down as his desire is to go overseas.


Days

Matsumoto (like most of his teammates) used to be in the same youth team as Kazama .


Days

Hoshina has short black hair with a fringe. His eyes have especially long lashes.

Hoshina is a very stoic, quiet person who is nonetheless easy to get along with. Good-natured and polite with a side of old-fashioned gentlemanliness, he is helpful, honest and a very fair player, relying only on his own and his team's strength and hard work and never looking down on others despite coming from a highly talented family and a powerhouse team. He does, however, take soccer very seriously, sometimes to the point of being a worry-wart and mood-killer for his teammates, and dislikes cheering while the match is ongoing, especially if that cheering is directed at him. Generally he is very straightforward and has trouble dealing with people who take things less seriously than he does.

A first year, Nitobe is a center back. Playing a more physical defense style than Usui, out of the "1st Year Idiot Trio," (Kurusu, Shiratori, and Nitobe) he's the one that plays the most often as a regular. He appeared to be envious of Tsukushi's progress in such short time as compared to the many years he has devoted to the game of football.


Days

Tsukushi is a skinny boy with blue eyes, untidy dark hair, and rosy cheeks. An idiot acting boy but has more potential than anyone else from the team.
Outside of training and matches, Tsukushi's clothes are ordinary and he often dresses in simple T-shirts and shorts. His training gear consists of school training shirts, sports shorts and Jin Kazama 's old training shoes.
When playing for Seiseki High School , Tsukushi wears Seiseki's black home kit or yellow away kit with black boots.

Tsukushi is a very timid boy at first due to the incessant bullying he received, but he is still extremely polite and he is very honest about his feelings, almost to the point of stupidity. He tries his best to work for the team even though he doesn't have the necessary skills and always strives to be better to ease the tension of his senpais and classmates. However, after the last match at the Inter-High Prelims against Saku High, he became more confident and started orienting his goal to get better for himself and not for others.
Although very diligent, he is not that academically smart, being average at most. He will never hesitate to get the ball even when the team is in a pinch. He is very determined at finishing the plays that he has been entrusted with and although he has no other spectacular qualities, he can run for the life of him. In terms of pinch running, he is Seiseki High School 's best. One of his only redeeming qualities as of now.
He also has the tendency to overreact when stuff abnormal, to him, happen. He is greatly identical to Seiseki's team Captain, Hisahito Mizuki , in the sense that both of them were not born talented and Mizuki had to work his way to the top. They both also only started playing football the first year of high school.
According to Yuuta Usui , Tsukamoto's grades are decent compared to his fellow freshmen, so he is still an asset to help out in the study group in the future once the seniors graduate, and may even be a decent teacher due to his perseverance.
He is very non-competitive, so he feels uneasy to be in competition between teammates, even when it is healthy and a necessary part of life in general. But as time goes on, he heaped a lot of pressure on himself to improve in all aspects of his game.
If his skills develop well, then he has the potential to be Seiseki's Fourth Arrow.

As Chako, she becomes a small purple crow with a large round head, and wings tipped with a red flame pattern. She has a small tuft of feathers on top of his head, red eyebrows, a yellow beak, and circular eyes with black pupils. Her only article of clothing is the yellow scarf around her neck. [1]

Chako is one of the 1,000 examinees assembled in the 666th Layer for Dead Rock's Special Entrance Examination.

Three months after the entrance exam, the entrance ceremony is held, welcoming the new students. After God 's speech, Chako is assigned her class, Class F, where the other six students who passed the special entrance exam are also placed. As the others converse and argue, Hanni asks what she is supposed to be, to which Chako plainly states that she is a crow. She then boasts how he passed the exam in first place. Everyone is then told to quiet down as Professor Maxwell arrives, informing everyone that he will be their homeroom teacher. Chako watches as Yakuto steps forward to ask questions about the human realm and if humans are treated well. She is shocked when Yakuto suddenly crushes the professor's head. After this Chako listens as Yakuto reveals that he enrolled with one major goal, needing the help of everyone in class and that once they know the "truth" they would agree. When he announces that he wants to kill God, Chako is left speechless. [5]
Chako asks if he means their school principal, which she counters that he is literally a god, calling him the strongest and evilest man all the realms. She agrees with Hanni, calling Yuto stupid, when the latter announces that he will kill all the teachers and wanted to show that be was serious. When Yakuto believes that God is an imposter, she notes that he has a point that a sovereign would call themselves a "Demon King" or something else like that.

She watches as he reacts to having died and become a zombie, agreeing with Hanni about one good thing about Yakuto, saying that they are classmates. She is shocked as Yakuto reminds everyone that he still plans to get them all involved and will not let them escape. Chako then listens as Yakuto, explains that they now have an obedient teacher, making it convenient for them. [7]

After Yakuto berates him for being so cruel, Gyugo retorts that he killed 10 guys before the exam started. He then grips Yakuto's neck tightly in an attempt to strangle him, asking why he even wants to get into Dead Rock as people die all time in the entrance exam and that this is not a place for people like him. He listens as Yakuto explains that he has a goal and wanted to hide his power before he entered the school, confusing the minotaur.

He asks if Freyr's stupid for suggesting to burn it and tells Yakuto that using Chako as a head for the body will not fool anyone.

After Freyr expresses doubt about Yakuto 's ability to succeed and dismisses the exam as lacking the feel of a genuine test, Raizen is prompted to echo her sentiments. He then brings up Hien's situation, how the ice swordsman was hurt and had to help getting out. The two stare at each other for a moment before they both clash their swords. Though he whines that he got dirt on his "princess" and starts cleaning his sword. [8]
Everyone is then told to quiet down as Professor Maxwell arrives, informing everyone that he will be their homeroom teacher. Raizen watches as Yakuto steps forward to ask questions about the human realm and if humans are treated well. He is shocked when Yakuto suddenly crushes the professor's head. He yells at him for this, before retorting Freyr's claim that he is cool for this act. After this Raizen listens as Yakuto reveals that he enrolled with one major goal, needing the help of everyone in class and that once they know the "truth" they would agree. When he announces that he wants to kill God, Raizen is utterly shocked. [9]
After witnessing this, Raizen asks who kills their Homeroom Teacher on the first day, calling Yakuto crazy. He listens as Yakuto explains that he believes that God is an imposter, that there might have been a previous ruler, and that he wishes to return the Demon Realm back to its true state. Still angry, he tells him not to involve the class and walks out of the class. Before he leaves, he tells Yakuto that he will not snitch, but before God even gets the chance to kill him, he will be the one to cut him up in pieces. [10]
In the cafeteria, Raizen eats lunch while complaining about Yakuto as every student dreams of becoming a Demon King , not wanting him to get in his way. He is then approached by two students who mock him for entering the school through the special exam. Raizen tells them to go away, but the shark student notes about the school rules, article 3: "kill anyone you don't like". Raizen mentions that specific rule is dead on arrival. Just as the shark student is about to kill him, Raizen slices his and the octopus student's head off. Though he then cleans his sword, having gotten it dirty again. [11]
The head chef, Ogre, stands before him and gathers the dead students. He asks what he is going to do with them, which Ogre replies that he is going to eat them, much to Raizen's disgust. He asks if uses dead students in for cooking, which the chef answers only once in a while. He asks about today's ingredients, which Ogre just responds that he is going to them. This makes him recall his princess being cursed by a man, which can only be broken by a Demon King's power. Raizen tells himself that he needs to become a Demon King, before he asks Ogre if the rules apply to teachers as well, which the chef answers that if he can. Raizen charges but is cut into pieces, much to his and everyone's shock. [12]
His pieces are later collected by Yakuto who has Mikoto resurrect Raizen. In the Bone Rampage dorm, he wakes up in bed thinking he died, which Mikoto confirms and is now her puppet. He is shocked to having become a zombie, and surprised that Yakuto was the one who got his pieces. He tries to say his thanks, only for Yakuto to remind all of them that he plans to get all of them involved and does not plan on letting them escape, shocking him once more. He banters with him, telling he thought was an okay guy until he said that. He listens as Yakuto explains that they now have an obedient teacher, making it convenient for them. [13]


Dead Rock

Saru looks like a muscular humanoid ape of imposing size with pointed ears, with fur on the majority of his body except his torso, his throat as well as his hands and his face, the fur on his chin forming a beard. He wears an eyepatch over his right eye with a disappointed "M" written on it (probably for "Monkey"), although it is unclear if this is a real injury or if it is for style. He also has a headband that seems to mark the boundary between his fur and his hair, styled so as to be spiky upwards. He wears an arm ring on each bicep, a leather band on his back to which a Nyoi Staff is attached. Its waist is also adorned with a striped fur belt.

As a teacher, Saru is cold and strict with her students, not hesitating to punish an entire class for the actions of a single student who rebelled against God, even if he was not contained. In addition, he does not let himself be insulted but seems relatively calm while possessing a certain authority, the proof being that when a student makes fun of his name and his Roots (He is a monkey and his name means "monkey" ), all he has to do is look at her coldly to silence her even if the school rules allow him to kill them.


Dead Rock

Yakuto, a young man of average height, possesses a slim yet slightly muscular physique, with his brown complexion complemented by ash-blond hair. Such hair is short and spiky, with three distinctly long bangs that gracefully drape over his eyes. His sharp eyes exhibit a striking orange-brown hue.
As for his fashion sense, Yakuto opts for a full-body suit that features a stylish standing collar. The suit itself is dyed in a darker shade of blue, exuding a sense of sophistication. To complete his ensemble, he dons gloves reminiscent of those worn by racers, adding a touch of flair to his overall appearance.

Ten years ago, Yakuto grew up with his mother and father in Wicked Horizen a Black Dragon village on the 644th layer of the Demon World.  God showed up and destroyed the village leaving Yakuto as the only survivor.
Story
Yakuto explains that killing god is why he came to this school. He answers Reisen that he is planning to kill all the teachers as well and this was to show how serious he is to all of them. He then answers Hien, who is holding his sword at him, that he believes that God is an imposter. Yakuto explains his belief on how strange the ruler of the Demon Realm is called "God", rather than "Demon King" like a normal sovereign would. He continues that in any case, there must have been a ruler before God. He wishes to return the Demon Realm back to its true state. [1]
When Reisen tells him off and leaves, not wanting to be a part of this, Yakuto asks if he is going to snitch on them. Reisen tells him that he will not, but before God even gets a chance to kill Yakuto, he will cut him to pieces. Hien tells him that he does not want to join, but will not get in his way before he leaves as well. The others ask Yakuto on what to do with Maxwell's corpse, which he asks Mikoto to control it. He then puts Chako in the neck stump, hoping it would cover his tracks. After discovering that their professor is hollow, he surmises that he had Golem Roots and thinks he has a spare head in his room. He jovially goes off to fetch it, with Freyr following him. [2]
Later in the cafeteria, Hell's Kitchen, Yakuto approaches the Head Chef Ogre after he kills Reisen and learns that Article 3 of Dead Rock's school rules applies to teachers as well. He states that he does not like Ogre for cutting up his classmate, supposing it as a valid thing to say. He then transforms his arm and punches a hole through Ogre's stomach. Though he wonders if he counts as a teacher, since he was the head chef. [3] Afterward he collects all of Reisen pieces, where Mikoto resurrects him as a zombie. [4]
At their dorm Bone Rampage, Yakuto greets Reisen, glad that he is awake. He tells Reisen what a relief it is, much to latter's shock of being a zombie. Freyr recounts what happened, which Yakuto comments that it was pretty gruesome. Just as Reisen is about to say his thanks, Yakuto declares that he is getting them all involved and will not let anyone escape until he kills God, ruining the atmosphere. Yakuto banters with them for a bit, when Freyr asks about why they needed to make the Maxwell puppet if killing teachers is not a crime. He answers that there is, since now they have an obedient teacher, making it convenient for them. He the. Orders it to work hard until they kill God. [5]


Dead or Alive

Akira is a muscular male with a tanned complexion, spiked black hair and dark brown eyes. He appears to be average height and has quite wide shoulders and a serious face with a strong jawline and a squared-off chin.
His trademark outfit is a form of sleeveless gi - a traditional uniform used for martial arts practice - which has frayed around the ends of the trouser legs and shirt holes. The gi is slightly open to reveal his bare chest underneath. The outfit is complete with a black belt, a white headband, and black wristbands and feet covers. Overall, he bears a striking resemblance to Ryu , the main character of Capcom's Street Fighter series.

Akira strives for perfection and will drive himself relentlessly to master his techniques. He seeks worthy opponents to fight in order to find flaws in his skills to further attain mastery. While hot-blooded and impulsive, he can also be naive and intemperate. Akira is also quite passionate when fighting, often telling his opponents give him their best and always expressing his enthusiasm for a bout. Despite his hot-headed personality, Akira does appear to have some good friendships with most fighters such as Wolf Hawkfield , Pai, Jacky, Sarah, and Aoi Umenokoji (his childhood friend and sparring partner).


Dead or Alive

Alpha-152 is very different in appearance compared to the other clones in the past; while the rest of the clones are perfect copies of Kasumi, Alpha-152 only bears Kasumi's body shape. It is totally transparent, a green-blue color, and appears shiny and shimmery, like it is made from liquid or gel. Its eyes seem to glow white, with no pupils or irises.
Before Dead or Alive 5 Last Round , Alpha-152 appears to be completely nude. However, it lacks nipples, anus, and female genitals, with these areas being flat, like a child's doll would be. In Last Round , Alpha-152 is given a school uniform, but in transparent colors in order to match its appearance. She can also wear her hair tied up in Kasumi's ponytail and she has also started receiving DLC costumes, but the ability for them to be ripped is excluded in packs that have the other fighters' clothes be able to be destroyed.
In Dimensions , it has is darker green color and appears less transparent than previous appearances. In the fourth game and fifth game, it's also noticeable that the clone's "hair" is longer than Kasumi's, and moves somewhat differently from the other females, but this may be simply because it is composed of gel.
In Dead or Alive 5 , during its second awakening, Alpha-152 takes on Kasumi's exact form with a green and black aura surrounding its body and also wears Kasumi's trademark outfit. After it is defeated by Hayabusa, Ayane and Hayate, it copies their form and fighting style.

This clone was created to hate the world and with a focus to destroy everything in its path. It has been shown to willingly fight anyone, whether they attack it or not. It's unknown if DOATEC has any control over its actions, or if it is allowed to run riot and could turn on the DOATEC at any moment.
Compared to Kasumi α, Alpha-152 seems to be inhuman. While Kasumi α seems to have the ability to feel at least a few emotions - in Dead or Alive 2 , she laughs as if amused, and is seen smiling smugly at the real Kasumi - Alpha-152 only knows hatred. Also, while Kasumi α stands normally and seems to be able to talk like Kasumi, Alpha-152 also makes animalistic noises, such as hisses, and stands ready for battle in a crouch, fingers curled, as if ready to pounce.
In the fifth tournament Alpha-152 has developed and seems to be more vocal in its expressions. When attacking or taunting its opponent, it seems to murmur or hum. Occasionally, it will let out a yell of anger. She does not seem to handle losing well at all, as she is seen in her lose pose in a somewhat crouching state as she lets out a horrid yell of anger before slumping down, moaning and letting out heavy pants of frustration and "exhaustion" as she looks down defeated.


Dead or Alive

Amy has fair skin, dirty blonde hair worn in low pigtails with hair clips on the left, and green eyes. Her body type is similar to Misaki's, being of petite height and slight build, but with slightly larger thighs. Her outfit consists of a black and red one-piece strapless swimsuit with digital circuit-like details beneath a short blue denim jacket with red and black plaid trim that she wears off-the-shoulder, and brown sandals with straps at the lower parts of her legs. Her accessories include red and black headphones, a black choker, and a light brown necklace with five gold square pieces and a jade green stone to match the one on the silver round piece attached by a brown band on her left leg. She has an optional ponytail hairstyle in the DMM version.

Amy has a largely tsundere-based demeanor, often denying she has any feelings for the owner when offering to do stuff for him, and also denying it to the various other girls, and even resorting to insulting the owner as a front by calling him a big dummy. It's implied her tsundere nature was a result on insecurities stemming from a lack of experience with interacting with others as a result of placing extensive focus on her studies.
Owing to her engineering background, she is very technologically savvy, as evidenced by her tutoring the Owner on how to run a program more efficiently.


Dead or Alive

Anne is Caucasian with a slightly tanned skin tone, an oval face, and dark eyes. Her layered hair is dark brown and extends to her shoulders. In Dead or Alive 4 , she is seen wearing red lipstick and a black tank top with a white lace trim.


Dead or Alive

Ayame is a slim, pale-skinned woman with a round face with soft features, and large, round eyes, much like her daughters Kasumi and Ayane. Her eyes are dark brown (green in Dimensions ), as is her hair, which is worn loose and long with a short front-fringe; it's possible her son Hayate inherited his hair color from her. Although Ayame is shown to have a youthful appearance when her children are very young, later when her children are all adults Ayame appears not to have aged and still looks as young as she did years before, unlike her husband. Her normal attire seems to be a kimono, as she is seen wearing one in all of her appearances.

Although briefly seen, Ayame is shown to be a loving mother; she is seen happily watching Hayate, Kasumi and Ayane play together as children, and reminisces of when Kasumi and Ayane played together by the waterfall. When Kasumi runs away from the clan after Raidou injured Hayate, Ayame worries for her safety and instructs Ayane to save her instead of being enemies.
Ayame is shown to prioritize her children’s safety and well-being, having instructed Ayane to save Kasumi. When Ayane became upset after being scolded by Hayate, Ayame comforted her and apologized to her for giving her up, rekindling their relationship as mother and daughter. Despite the traumatic nature of her youngest daughter's conception, Ayame is shown to love all of her children equally.


Dead or Alive

Ayane is of petite height, with a slender and athletic frame and she is one of the youngest girls in the Dead or Alive series. Originally, she was designed with fair skin, a round face, with a small button-nose and wide eyes.
As of Dead or Alive 5 , while not straying too far from her original design, her face is now oval-shaped, and her eyes have been slightly narrowed to give her a youthful but more realistic appearance. Also, despite being listed as having a higher bust measurement than many others, her in-game breast size seems visually to be among the smallest of the female cast.
Her appearance is one of the most distinctive out of the fighters, due to her striking light red eyes and straight lavender hair, which is cut to the nape of her neck, with a front fringe, and is tied back with her favorite dark-purple bandana. In the first Dead or Alive , some of her costumes showed her with strawberry blonde hair and in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round some of her costumes (all of them referencing characters from other franchises) change her hair to blonde, light purple, dark blue or light blue. As of Last Round, she has a total of three main hairstyles: her default one (with and without the bandana), a short ponytail with decorative ribbon that is similar to Kasumi's, and short low pigtails. For her Gust DLC she wears a hairstyle that is basically her normal hair without a bandana, but she has a long thin ponytail "extension" in the back as well to keep in line with the character she is cosplaying as. She also received long pale purple twin-tails tied with ninja shuriken hair decorations for her Senran Kagura DLC costume, where she dresses as Yagyu.
Ayane's most iconic costume is a dark purple, strapless dress with a pink butterfly printed on the skirt complete with matching pull-on sleeves, stockings, heeled boots, and a giant red or orange obi bow tied around her hips. Other recurring costumes for Ayane include a purple shozoku, Japanese school uniform, and the training dummy costume, originally from the Sega Saturn version of the first Dead or Alive .
In Dead or Alive 6 , Ayane's new default outfit is her outfit from Ninja Gaiden Sigma but in minor alterations. Her corset suit is now black with a purple trim which is connected to her gray tights and black knee-high boots. Her long black ninja gloves are now extended below her shoulders and is no longer fingerless which is covered with light purple fabric.

Mostly due to the way she was treated as a child, Ayane possesses a detached, cynical outlook on life and is completely driven by the desire to prove to herself and others that she is better than those that condemned her. As a result, she turned into a determined, strong, and deadly young woman, earning her the nickname "Female Tengu ." She also has a tendency to talk down to people – mostly to Kasumi – and act antagonistically. It should be noted that she despises anyone or anything reminding her of the past. Due to her cynical outlook, she at times can be deeply sarcastic, such as when greeting Leifang during the Tamabata festival with barbed remarks, as well as snidely telling a defeated opponent they should watch their opponent when fighting. Similarly, she is not used to people treating her kindly or wanting to be her friend, as can be implied by her interactions with Luna, Misaki and Honoka.
However, despite her cruel behavior, she isn’t entirely cold and heartless. She does form working relationships with those around her and even loving and emotional relationships, such as her admiration for Hayate and her father-daughter relationship with Genra. However, these relationships are so important and meaningful to her that they seem to be her only emotional support and her reason for living. For example, after losing Genra and Hayate becoming angry with her, she tried to commit suicide. This quick decision to take her life at the thought of losing Hayate's love might be a sign of a more emotionally unstable side to Ayane.
Like most of the other shinobi in the series, she is devoted to what she believes in and follows the code of her clan with all her heart, willing to take on any task for her village, even if it means she could die doing so.


Dead or Alive

Ayane is portrayed by Natassia Malthe.
Ayane's apperance differs from the games. The differences:

Her eyes were brown, rather than red.

Her bangs were styled differently, to the sides rather than covering her forehead.

Her trademark ribbon was switched out for a rope like accessory.

Her race was changed (from Japanese to half Norwegian-Filipino, and she looks much more Norwegian than Filipino)

Her actress was 32 years old, and, obviously, looks much older than Ayane is said to be.


Dead or Alive

Bass is a tall man with a large, wide frame. His overall appearance is based on the American wrestler Hulk Hogan, and like him Bass has blond, shoulder-length hair styled into a mullet, and a beard which covers the whole of his lower face, but is trimmed close to the skin. In the first game, the beard was blond to match the rest of the hair on his head, but it was later darkened to a brunet shade. This could mean that Bass dyes his hair blond, or that the beard just changed color with age. Bass also has lightly tanned skin and small eyes that are the same shade as Tina's.
In Dead or Alive 5 , it appears that Bass has lost a substantial amount of weight.
Most of his outfits are wrestling costumes with either a biker or American theme. Recurring elements to his costumes include leather, patterns that resemble the US flag, and some form of sunglasses, which can usually be hit off in a fight. One of his recurring outfits include a tanned and brown-colored cowboy outfit, complete with hat.

Bass is the self proclaimed strongest fighter in the Dead or Alive series and he believes it. He also wants to prove to others his strength, and will not hesitate to show it in or out of the ring. This has also led to some instances of smashing people with chairs and hurling insults into a microphone. He is not so arrogant that he cannot accept others as equals, and will easily befriend anyone who can live up to his personal standards of strength and might. He does bear a more caring side for his daughter, Tina, and is very protective over her.


Dead or Alive

Bayman is a tall man with a wide, muscular build, a slightly tanned complexion, dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a square-shaped face with a strong jawline. For his original design, he was given thin, sharp facial features, a low brow, and short hair neatly slicked back.
For Dead or Alive 5 , his overall design was greatly changed. Although he is still tall and muscular, his hair has been changed so he has buzzed back and sides with longer hair on top of his crown. His face also looks more aged, worn, and serious, as if he has faced a lot of combat, with a rounded chin. He now also bears a thin scar that runs over his face from above the left eyebrow to the right cheek and another much larger scar that stretches across his chest in the opposite direction. Bayman received these two scars during the beginning of the story mode in Dead or Alive 5 while he and his team were attacked in the Middle East.
For most of Bayman's costumes, he wears army uniforms and combat equipment. Recurring elements include dog-tags, camouflage pants, army boots, gloves, and berets. One recurring, slightly comical costume is his scuba gear, which includes a full-body wetsuit, oxygen tanks, goggles, an oxygen mask, and flippers.

Before Dead or Alive 5 , Bayman was ruthless and cold, with a quick, proficient way of carrying out his tasks. Although he made a good living as an assassin, he made it clear that he was not in it for the money; instead, he seemed to enjoy the kills themselves for unclear reasons. He took pride in his work and seemed to see himself as above an assassin like Christie, whom he didn't, and still doesn't, consider to be a professional. However, by the time of Dead or Alive 5 , Bayman has sought out redemption and become a mercenary. He is now an honorable and determined soldier who wants to avenge the deaths of his comrades, who were killed by a mysterious hooded figure. As of late, his mind is filled with nothing but thoughts of revenge, which is the only thing that keeps him going.
Before a fight, Bayman often tells his opponent to prepare themselves, emphasizing his confidence and strength. He is patient and dedicated when it comes to carrying out his objectives, willing to track his targets to the ends of the world in his quest for revenge. He has also shown a willingness to never back down and the ability to overcome many difficult tasks, such as stabbing himself with a pen and risking his life as part of his job.


Dead or Alive

Brad has a slim but muscular physique, tanned skin, a slim oval face, and narrow brown eyes. His facial hair is neatly trimmed into a short beard. Despite being quite young-looking, Brad's long hair has already grayed, normally swept back into a braid with raised side bangs. In Dead or Alive 4 his hair is worn loose and drops to about upper shoulder length. In the fifth entry, his hair is now longer as he wears it in a tied type braid that drops to about waist level, as well as when worn loose. His bangs are now also adjusted to more resemble how they looked in Dimensions. He also now has a more relaxed and more realistic face and appears more carefree and less serious.
Most of Brad's outfits have traditional Chinese designs behind them and have a few layers to them, with some looking a little worned and ragged from his travels. One of his outfits from Dead or Alive 4 , however, has a more modern design, consisting of tanned pants, a silvered studded belt, a half-open shirt made from shiny material, and chain necklaces. His outfits in Dead or Alive 5 follow the same theme, with various traveling attired as well as a casual white tank top with a buffalo necklace and jeans with decals as well as armbands. He also usually has a drinking gourd or bottle of alcohol at his side which he carries around with his costumes.

Brad seems to be characterized by his love of alcohol as well as his overall nonchalant demeanor. He fights with honor and exhibits the spirit of a true martial artist in that he treats others with the respect they deserve, never talking down to an opponent, though of course, if attacked, he will defend himself. He tends to be flirty, showy, and confident in front of women, including those far younger than him, notably Ayane and Kokoro. However he is also quite comfortable with older otherworldly women like Nyotengu, who he shares a drink with after their fight, which goes smoothly as Nyotengu shares his more laid back flirty demeanor and appreciation of alcohol.
He also has a bit of a lazy streak as seen when he's traveling with Eliot, due to his continual drunkenness and being unemployed without any real goals other than to drink and fight to his heart's content.


Dead or Alive

Chen seems to be an aged man, most likely due to the excess amount of alcohol consumed over the years. He also wears homeless clothing, so he is most likely unemployed like Brad.

As seen in Dead or Alive 3 , Chen seems to act as an honorable man devoted to his art and to teaching Brad. However, in Dead or Alive 4 , Brad states to Eliot that he is "your average drunk."
