Kasumi Matsunaga

Kasumi Matsunaga is a human and the sister of Yayoi Matsunaga. When she and her sister were children, Kasumi lit a match one night so the siblings could look at their birthday cake. Kasumi dropped the match however and a fire burned down their house and killed their family.

While the fire raged around them, Kasumi begged someone - anyone, to save her sister. A nightbreed answered her plea, saving both sisters from the flames. The nightbreed made sure Kasumi came out without a scratch as it was vain and wanted a beautiful host but let Yayoi's face be burned off as Kasumi hadn't asked for Yayoi to come out whole, merely alive.

Kasumi was later killed when the hotel she and her sister ran burned down. The events surrounding her death led to Yayoi joining forces with Shido Tatsuhiko.
