Team Ninja has officially announced the last fighter for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round-Raidou.
Raidou, utilises the Mugen Tenshin style of Ninjutsu, while taking techniques he's stolen from other fighters.
Unlike the other Mugen Tenshin practitioners - Kasumi and Hayate - Raidou is said to make the most of his build; fusing the style with his unique power and size.
"After being killed by an explosion during the First Dead or Alive Tournament, Raidou was pieced back together, outfitted with cybernetic parts, and brought back to life by Donovan. As a side effect he has lost all memories of his past, and retains only his natural lust for power."
Dead or Alive or DOA is a fighting game in the Dead or Alive series, developed by Team Ninja in partership with Sega AM2 and released by Tecmo Koei simultaneously for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2012.
