Kasumi (カスミ, Kasumi) is a supporting character in Suikoden and Suikoden II. Kasumi is a ninja from Rokkaku Hamlet who rose to the position of Vice-Chancellor of Rokkaku.

History

Oh, Commander Hero, I... No, never mind...

—  Kasumi
What, were we not good enough to send Mondo?

Kasumi was a ninja from Rokkaku Hamlet. Like all Rokkaku ninja, she had been trained in the swallow manor from a young age.

Her time in the manor overlapped with Sasuke for her final two years there, where she became an admirable sister-figure for the young ninja. Kasumi would help take care of Sasuke during those two years.

Bearing the Shrike Rune which gave her further abilities, Kasumi was said to have a natural affinity for the ninja arts. As such, she was highly skilled and even higher-ranked ninja in Rokkaku looked up to her.

Kasumi was forced to flee her home when Teo McDohl's Armored Cavalry attacked Rokkaku. Following the Toran Liberation Army's victory in the Second Battle at Scarleticia Castle, Kasumi successfully reached Toran Castle and warned the 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 Castle. 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.

Kasumi likes McDohl!

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

Her feelings were not always as hidden as she would have liked. Krin, in particular, mocked her for her crush and change in demeanor whenever the hero was in her vicinity. She decided to follow her duty, rather than her heart, and following the end of the war, Kasumi returned to Rokkaku.

Three years later, during the Dunan Unification War, Kasumi had become Vice-Chief of Rokkaku Hamlet. She had initially turned down the position due to feeling inexperienced, but eventually relented as she felt she needed to help protect the younger ninja, such as Sasuke.

She also worked closely as a liaison between Rokkaku and the President of the Toran Republic, Lepant, due to her serving in the Gate Rune War. Although she was still young, her abilities and competency were never in doubt and when Lepant agreed to aid the New Alliance Army, she would be one of two officers recommended by Lepant to join the army.

During the war, Kasumi was reunited with McDohl at Banner Village. Once again, however, she was unable to articulate her feelings for him. Speaking with him and telling him the news of their former colleagues made her realize that he had not changed while everyone else continued to grow and mature. This made her feel like there was a distance between the two, though her feelings persisted.

Following the end of the Dunan Unification War, Kasumi returned to Rokkaku while continuing to occasionally meet with McDohl. Still hesitant to express her feelings, especially as she continued to age in comparison to him, it seems her painful love is likely to continue.

Trivia

  • Kasumi means "mist" in Japanese.
  • Her claw weapon is designed for assassination purposes.
  • She was originally designed to use a shuriken, which is why her weapon range in the original Suikoden is long-range. The change to a claw weapon came in mid-development and her range was not updated to match.
