Historia

Dead or Alive

Ayane inicialmente apareció como un personaje de entrenamiento en el modo "Sparring" del juego de la versión del Sega Saturn, pero no era seleccionable como personaje. Es una luchadora desbloqueable en la versión del PlayStation.

Dead or Alive 2

Ayane es la media hermana de Kasumi y Hayate. Durante los eventos del torneo de Dead or Alive 2, es ordenada por Genra para hallar y asesinar a Kasumi, quien ha sido considerada como una nukenin o shinobi fugada, por su huida de la aldea. Sin embargo, Ayane fracasa en su tarea i es derrotada por Kasumi en los rounds finales del torneo. Durante el torneo Ayane se encuentra con Hayate también, pero debido a que esta sufriendo de amnesia gracias al "Projecto Epsilon", no la recuerda y la ve solo como a ota oponente.D

Durante el torneo, Ayane es confrontada por Helena, quien la acusa de haber asesinado a su madre. Ayane no confiesa ni niega la acusación, eligiendo burlarse de Helena antes de la batalla.

Dead or Alive 3

Ayane entra en el torneo Dead or Alive 3 para matar a Genra, quien se ha vuelto una marioneta de DOATEC. She sees this as her responsibility to end his pain and return the favor of Genra having taken her under his wing. Ayane eventually succeeds in her mission, even defeating Hayate in order to fight Genra. As a reminder of her foster father, she takes Genra's ritual mask and energy sword. The picture shown is circa DOA 4 and shows the mask that always covered Genra's face while he was alive.

Note: Ayane 'allows' Kasumi to go on and see Hayate regardless of the outcome of their match but she will not allow Kasumi to advance higher as she wanted to be the one to end Genra's life. After Kasumi affirms that she will go see Hayate, Ayane also tells Kasumi that she can't "allow her to have this one", possibly alluding to the fact that in DOA 1 Kasumi defeated Raidou, Ayane's biological father.

Dead or Alive 4

Ayane has pledged her life to her half-brother and Mugen Tenshin Clan leader Hayate in his cause to destroy DOATEC for all the suffering the company has caused the ninja clans. Ayane has a threefold stake in this revenge trip in that Raidou was changed by DOATEC into a monster, Hayate was brainwashed in DOATEC's attempt to realize Project Epsilon, and the brainwashing and death of Genra. In her story mode, she stays back to delay Kasumi from keeping Hayate away from joining up with the other Mugen Tenshin ninja to travel to DOATEC's headquarters. She also goes one-on-one against the assassin Christie, giving time for Ryu to go after his own targets. She is responsible for this campaign's success by which she cast a very powerful Ninpō spell in the middle of the DOATEC complex with Hayate defending her, destroying the foundations of the buildings as the screen fades. Ironically, as shown in Helena's CG ending with her and Kasumi away from the tower, Hayate and Ryu Hayabusa are nowhere to be seen as the building explodes. Ayane also prevents Kasumi from returning to the building, already fearing the worst. This action seems to indicate that Ayane and Kasumi's rivalry could be over.

Otras apariciones

Ayane has a recurring appearance in Ninja Gaiden. In Ninja Gaiden, Ayane is a young ninja in training at the age of 14 who first appears to inform Murai and incidentally Ryu Hayabusa that the Hayabusa Village is under heavy attack. Throughout the game, Ayane provides tips and assistance to Ryu while always keeping an eye on his progress. In the expansion Ninja Gaiden Black, if the player chooses the Ninja Dog Easy mode, Ayane condescendingly provides Ryu with assistance.

The upcoming Xbox 360 title Dead or Alive: Code Chronos will also feature Ayane, acting as a prequel to the Dead or Alive series and detailing the history between Kasumi and herself as they grew up within their clan.

Aparición en película

En la película DOA: Dead or Alive, vagamente basada en la serie de videojuegos, Ayane es interpretada por Natassia Malthe y por eso aparece mucho más mayor que con los 16 años que tiene en el videojuego. Además, es la amante de Hayate y no tiene relación sanguínea con él o con Kasumi. A ella le es asignada la tarea de matar a Kasumi por abandonar la aldea y como resultado, la sigue hasta el torneo de DOA, en donde encuentra vivo a Hayate. She then realized that Kasumi was right about Hayate still being alive. At the end of the movie, she and Hayate exchange a kiss.

Personalidad

Ayane was born as the result of Raidou raping Kasumi's mother, Ayame. Though Ayane was allowed to stay in the ninja clan, she was always looked down upon as a "poisoned child", generally ignored by many of the ninja clan. Ever since they were children, Ayane admired Hayate. She looked up to him as a way of increasing her self-esteem and lifting her sadness. Hayate as well was fond of Ayane; he might have learned of the true circumstances behind Ayane's birth and did not see the point of isolating her as everyone else did.

While Kasumi and Hayate joined the rest of the village in a festival, Ayame called her estranged daughter to her and revealed through tears that she was indeed her mother instead of being an orphan as she was probably lead to believe. Shocked at this news, her young mind quickly deduced that it seemed that everyone knew that she was indeed the daughter of Ayame, wife of the leader of their village. Along with a burning hatred for Raidou, the man who ruined her life by creating it in the first place, the focal point of her ire rested on the one who had been treated like a princess while she was treated like dirt even though they shared the same mother - Kasumi. This envy that Ayane harbors can be greatly compared to the hatred Raidou had over Shinden, Kasumi's father.

Quiet and reserved, she tries to forget her experiences as a child. She has honed her skills to unbelievable heights in an attempt to make others see her to be more than the "cursed child". With the death of Genra, Ayane is now the strongest ninja of the Hajinmon, if not the de facto leader.

Ayane may have managed to reconcile her feelings of hatred towards Kasumi somewhat, as demonstrated when she stops Kasumi from entering the burning DOATEC building seconds before it explodes in DOA 4.
