Profile

Background

Kasumi is a young ninja from Rokkaku.

Appearance

Kasumi has short black hair (bluish black in her in-game appearance in the first Suikoden) with a full fringe and black eyes.

In the first Suikoden, Kasumi wears a revealing red sleeveless ninja suit with gold designs adorned with a white belt and a yellow buckle, a pink scarf on her neck, a red headband on her forehead, red gauntlets and a matching leg-guards with sandals. She also wears a brown mesh shirt underneath her ninja suit and a matching brown thigh-high socks with black linings.

In Suikoden II, which is three years after the first Suikoden, Kasumi's appearance remains largely unchanged but she no longer wears a headband. Her hair from her in-game and battle sprite is black with dark blue highlights.

She wears a different shade of red short-sleeved qipao short dress with dark teal outlines, a dark red obi with yellow lining tucked on her dress but retaining her pink scarf on her neck, a matching gauntlets with red straps and green leg-guards with red sandals.

Personality

In the first Suikoden, Kasumi is a cheerful, happy and carefree girl who develops a crush on Tir McDohl whilst he leads the Liberation Army, a trait later shared by Eilie, who had a crush on Riou, the hero of Suikoden II. As a kunoichi, she can be serious and determined, beating enemies with ninjutsu skills such as her Shrike rune and war-battle abilities.

In Suikoden II, she and Valeria serve as Generals in Gregminister. Kasumi's role is Vice Chancellor of Rokkaku and she is loyal to Lepant, President of Toran Republic. She retains her shyness around Tir McDohl, if he is encountered during the game. She is also loyal to her ninja comrades, Mondo and Sasuke of Rokkaku, and she always gives Sasuke advice before joining Riou's entourage.

Story

Suikoden I

During the Gate Rune Wars, she brought news to the Liberation Army of the destruction of Rokkaku by Teo McDohl's forces. After joining the Toran Liberation Army, she developed a crush on Tir.

After the Gate Rune Wars, she was appointed as Vice-Leader of Rokkaku, and she returns to Toran and continues serving as Rokkaku's representative in the republic.

Suikoden II

During the Dunan Unification War, Kasumi helped Riou and joined the New State Army in their fight against the Highland Army under Lepant's order. While she was in North Window Castle, she visited Gregminster every once in a while. After the war, she became one of the new six great generals of Toran Republic and Vice Chancellor of her village Rokkaku.

She's got average to good stats all around, with superior speed, and access to good unite attacks. Kasumi's downfall is her relative low defense for a front line fighter making her quite susceptible to physical attacks. Keep her healed up and you'll have a very speedy hitter.

Name:Kasumi
Age:19
From:Rokkaku Hamlet
Position:Volunteer Army General

Note: Vice-Chancellor of Rokkaku Hamlet

With Kasumi in your unit, you can find out your chance of a successful attack against a unit by using her 'Scout Ability'.

Looks like she was born and raised in Rokkaku like the other ninjas. Maybe that's why she knows so little about the outside world.

Once in awhile, she heads for Banner Village. I wonder if she's got a boyfriend there.

• I beg of you

Forgive me, Lord Riou, I cannot tell you why, but I must go to Banner Village sometime soon.....

"This cute little ninja has a taste for Japanese food. It's Kasumi!!!!"
