Ayane (Japanese: あやね) is a fictional character in the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden franchises by Team Ninja and Tecmo (Koei Tecmo). She debuted as a hidden unlockable character in the PlayStation version of the fighting game Dead or Alive in 1998, and has appeared in all of its sequels where she served as the protagonist of Dead or Alive 3, and has appeared in all of the series' spin-offs.
Ayane is a teenage ninjutsu master of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan, who was treated as an outcast during childhood due to her origin, but into adulthood, has become a respected highly-skilled ninja who currently assists alongside her older half-brother and current leader of the clan, Hayate, and has a complex relationship with her half-sister, Kasumi, a runaway ninja and the series' protagonist.
She is also prominently featured as a recurring supporting character in the Ninja Gaiden series since its revival in 2004 and has made multiple guest appearances in other games, in particular in the extended Dynasty Warriors franchise, as well as Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.
