Her first appearance was in Dead or Alive 3 and she later appeared in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Dead or Alive Ultimate and Dead or Alive 4. Hitomi is a karate expert and the daughter of a Japanese mother and German karate master. She knows Ein well because they learned to fight in the same dojo. She has been practicing karate under her father's tutelage since she was a child.

[edit] History
[edit] Dead or Alive 3
She enters DOA3 in order to test her skills against other fighters. After all the training, she is finally ready to enter the Dead or Alive tournament.
[edit] Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
Hitomi was invited to Zack Island for the Dead or Alive 4 tournament. However, that was only a ruse concocted by Zack to lure the girls of DOA to a two week tropical vacation.
[edit] Dead or Alive 4
A sudden illness has befallen Hitomi's father, the owner of a successful Karate dojo and prominent member of the German martial arts community. Although he has recovered, the family's training hall is in financial trouble. Hitomi's days are very busy as a result, but one of her greatest strengths is not letting the gravity of the situation faze her.
During the fourth Dead or Alive tournament, she looks for Ein as she remembers him from when they trained together in Germany. Hitomi hopes Ein can come up with an idea to save her father's dojo.
[edit] Personality
Hitomi is a martial artist through and through. Her victories have come as a result of a grueling training regime as well as a complete commitment to her studies and her art. Not only has Hitomi practiced her techniques, she has studied them, coming to understand the deeper principles behind karate as well as the art itself.
Hitomi is very much an honorable competitor and follows the traditions of her art to the letter. She always fights fairly in a match, for to do otherwise would bring shame to her name, her martial art, and her father's dojo. Hitomi is also fair in her dealings with others, treating everybody equally and with the respect that they deserve. She will not underestimate a foe by acting in a brash or overconfident manner. At all times, she will fight to the best of her ability, as she wishes to test her strength and training to the fullest.
Beyond the fighting arena, Hitomi is very much a normal teenage girl, as we see in her Dead or Alive 4 ending. She dances to pop style background music in her house, wears loose clothes, cooks her own food, and she has a bit of a clumsy side.
[edit] Gameplay
Hitomi can be considered the successor to Ein, in terms of fighting technique and statistics, except that Hitomi is slightly faster, and Ein's strikes are somewhat more powerful. Hitomi's fighting style relies on quick, medium-damage strikes, and her recovery time frame is excellent. Her tell-tale "wind-up" shared with Ein, however, is a popular counter-attack weakness for her, and the majority of her attacks lack good mix-up's, which means that most high-to-mid holds are effective against her. Her "interruption attacks" however (such as the Tsubauchi) are competent in keeping the opponent off guard, as well as making Hitomi preferable for aggressive players.
[edit] Trivia
- Hitomi is unlockable in 'Dead or Alive Ultimate by having a save of either Dead or Alive 3 or Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball in the hard drive or memory unit.
- Hitomi ranked 3rd place in the third DOA tournament.
