I always preferred Sakura Tange voice acting. More dramatic and actually sounds like the female lead character for the DOA series. Hoko Kuwashima is great but not my favorite imo.
Your favorite Kasumi Japanese voice?

They should have Tange voice Phase 4
That could work, but it wouldn't technically make any sense.
Fun fact though, Tange did return in DOAD to voice Alpha-152 and Kasumi α.

I'm not familiar with voice actress. Tange was the one in DOA2?

Thanks for the info. I like the way she sounds in DOA2, but I prefer the current one. Feel more mature and less childish.
If I recall right, I believe that she retired after DOA2 (hence why Kasumi's voice changed in DOA3), but picked the career back up again sometime after DOA4 and DOAX2. So when DOAD was in development, I guess TN decided to reach out to her to have her make a guest appearance as the Kasumi clones for a little throwback for older fans.
So yeah, she's been back in the business for some time now, but just isn't part of DOA anymore.
I honestly believe she wanted to reprise her role as Kasumi again, but TN could not give her the role since it's already taken, so as a sort of compromise they had her voice the clone since it would make sense, the clone is basically fitting of how young and childlike Sakura sounds. I honestly like her voice in Dimensions better, the high pitch screaming is now more stable and less grating and repetitive than in DOA2, and she gave Kasumi @ a more sadistic and better thought out personality.

Tange, but specifically the DOA1 voice. Has a very arcade feel to it.
