"With the representation a female characters in the Dead or Alive franchise, we've always wanted t' make the girls look as attractive as possible, 'n that be something that be not going t' change for us at all. We be a Japanese developer, 'n we be making the female characters with our common sense 'n our creative sense. When ye take that t' countries outside a Japan, it tends t' be very misinterpreted in some cases, people considering it sexist or derogatory, etc.

For us, within our culture, we be showing women like that, 'n we be trying t' make them look attractive. We can't help if other cultures in other countries around the globe think that it be a bad representation. Within our nationality 'n within our national borders, we obviously have morals that we create our female characters from, but within our Japanese sensibilities, we've made those characters the way they be 'n we be not going t' AVAST! doing that." - Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi

This goes right back t' the same issue that Ubisoft has with Japanese storytelling or game design. What Japan does isn't wrong, it be just different. Some countries may not agree with how Japanese devs depict women in games, but within their homeland the depictions be the norm.
