SenBasa chara Kasuga.png

Kasuga (Venus in Devil Kings) is a high-ranking kunoichi in the service of Kenshin Uesugi, commanding the ninja of his army. She met Kenshin while on a mission to assassinate him, but fell in love upon seeing his face, and now serves him with immeasurable loyalty. She has developed a strong rivalry with Sasuke Sarutobi, a shinobi in the service of Yukimura Sanada and Shingen Takeda, made stronger by the rivalry between their lords and proximity of their land. Like Sasuke, she usually maintains a cool composure both on and off the battlefield, though she quickly loses it in the presence of Kenshin.

Kasuga's moveset is carried over from Sasuke's, just as Matsu shares her fighting style and most of her skills with Kenshin. The ninja share their attribute, normal combos, quick movement speed, the ability to glide across a stage with the use of a familiar, mobile Basara attacks suitable for taking no damage across a stage, and most of their skills. Kasuga's fifth and sixth skills are unique to her; with the fifth, she creates a rainbow-colored clone that can travel a long distance toward far away enemies, and with the sixth, blades surround her, hitting enemies that come near. The sixth may come in handy in situations where the player must go on the defensive, such as among big crowds or against tough bosses, but it comes at the cost of a Basara attack that deals decent damage; choose wisely.
