Deep
in the mountains of Japan, legends of a mysterious and beautiful female Tengu
have been passed down from ages old. She is said to have descended into the
human world out of simple boredom, but since rumors of Bankotsubo's
death reached her ears, taking revenge on the ninja who killed him has become
her single obsession. Nyotengu is approximately 1018 years old.
Her haunting beauty belies an incredible strength, which along with her
ability to fly and attack from midair, makes her a formidable opponent. She
practices Tengu-do, a unique Japanese martial art passed down since ancient
times.

Tengu (Bankotsubo) was a weird yet somehow memorable boss in DOA2. His absence in the
later games seemed like the right choice - as he wasn't a superb design the series couldn't live without. In typical DOA fashion, the designers sought out to add yet
another female for the roster... but this time, it actually seems to make sense.
Nyotengu
cleverly pays homage to the DOA2 boss in several ways, and she actually
offers some uniqueness to the roster.
Along with having quite a few of Bankotsubo's moves, Nyotengu's moveset contains
some full-screen attacks (including a full-screen wind 'projectile' of sorts),
something very few DOA characters have. Her semi-flight abilities
& hellsweeps are pretty cool too, and also entertainingly reminiscent of TEKKEN's Mishima
characters. Overall, her moveset is different enough from other DOA fighters to
stand out. It's also always cool seeing a character with "super-human
strength" join the roster to mix things up. Visually, she's a pretty
design... but lacks excitement in other areas. And she's definitely not an
"honest" character in terms of the way she fights. Meh.
