Biography

Suikoden

Oh, Master Tir. I...nothing... —  Kasumi

Kasumi is a ninja from Rokkaku who was forced to flee her home when Teo McDohl's Armored Cavalry attacked Rokkaku. During the latter stages of the Gate Rune War. She successfully reached Toran Castle and warned the Toran Liberation Army of Teo's advance, fighting with the group for the remainder of the war.

Her talents at espionage were utilized several times through the war, including in the infiltration of Moravia. Kasumi's talents usually meant that enemy movements were laid out for all to see. In battle, her long reach and ninjitsu abilities made her well able to defeat her opponents.

After the last battle, Kasumi discovered that a number of ninja, including Hanzo, survived Teo McDohl's attack on Rokkaku. Following the end of the war, Kasumi returned to Rokkaku. She had fallen in love with the leader of the Liberation Army during the war but was unable to confess her feelings.

Suikoden II

Three years later, during the Dunan Unification War, Kasumi was reunited with her love at Banner Village. Once again, however, she was unable to articulate her feelings for him.

Genso Suikogaiden Volume 2

Following the end of the Dunan Unification War, Kasumi continued to occasionally meet with McDohl. Still hesitant to express her feelings, it seems her painful love is likely to continue.
