Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Characters of the Dead or Alive series" in English language version.
Tamaki, for example, is another character who seems to be popular in every region.
What's perhaps most amusing about this though is that Koei's new habit for Dead or Alive seems to be taking virtual idols and making "Dead or Alive"-style replicas of them in its games. Honoka, of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round fame onwards (she also appears in Xtreme 3 and Venus Vacation) is explicitly based on Love Live's Honoka. Tamaki, meanwhile, is pretty obviously Kaede from the Idolm@ster series. It's the hair that gives it away.
Other girls from Koei Tecmo's game also feature in Destiny Child as Soul Carta illustrations: Kokoro, Misaki, Luna, Nyotengu, Tamaki, and Ayane.
Reika is a stoic girl who has fallen into a slump with competitive swimming and visits Venus Island in despair. Indifferent to everything other than swimming, Reika maintains a rather cold attitude towards the Owner, but her occasional displays of vulnerability make her hard to ignore. Players can enjoy a unique vacation with the "troublesomely cute" Reika, who evokes a strong desire to support her despite her aloof nature.
