Ayane's Wet Bikini Shoot

And the photo shoot begins!

Ayane wasn't quite sure how to react when asked to participate in a photo shoot.

...But she seemed to warm up to the idea pretty quickly, as long as she proved she was better than Kasumi at it.

I asked why this was, and she got rather snappy with me. Apparently the two have quite the rivalry going on.

Surprisingly enough, Ayane is the youngest female competitor in Dead Or Alive at 18 years old.

Over the course of her career as a ninja, Ayane has climbed the ranks to become the master of the Hajinmon Sect of the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan.

She didn't divulge the all the details, but in short she intended to prove to everyone that even a hated "cursed child" could become the greatest shinobi.

A ninja considered a "cursed child" who was hated by her clan and sought to prove herself... Why does that sound familiar...?

Her expression always seems to go solemn when she thinks about her past. It must have been quite painful for her.

As a requirement for the photo shoot, Ayane informed me of her measurements. B37", W21", H33".

A while into the shoot, the topic of Kasumi had come up, who happens to be Ayane's elder half-sister. This made their rivalry rather personal, I imagine.

I ended up not learning a whole lot about Ayane during the shoot. Everything about her seemed to be tied to some painful experience.

Perhaps her detached, cynical personality is a direct result of it. She has dealt with a great deal, and even patched things up with Kasumi over the years.

Though she still sees Kasumi as a rival, and always betters herself in hopes of surpassing her half-sister as a ninja.

With that, the photo shoot ends. See you next time!
