Hitomi

Hitomi (Japanese: ヒトミ) is a playable character in the Dead or Alive fighting game series. She debuted in Dead or Alive 3 in 2001, replacing Ein as the regular karate martial artist in the roster. Born to a German father and a Japanese mother, Hitomi grew up in southwest Germany, training in karate at her father's dojo from a young age. She enters the Dead or Alive tournaments both to prove her skills and to reunite with Hayate, whom she admires. Hitomi is known for her cheerful and determined personality, typically sporting casual Western attire like jeans, tank tops, and fighting gloves, along with her signature pink headband. Throughout the Dead or Alive series, Hitomi engages in intense battles with various fighters and ultimately becomes the runner-up in the fifth tournament.
