to illustrate the "frustrating (and incorrect) preconception" that gamers are sexist. The naked version of Alpha-152 was included in GamesRadar's 2014 list of top seven "uncomfortably sexy video game AI characters". The underage depiction of Kasumi and a feature in Dead or Alive: Dimensions called Figure Modewhich allows players to capture images of the characters from all angles and store themwere linked to Nintendo's decision to not sell the game in Sweden, allegedly due to the country's strict child pornography laws. Hearing of the Nordic ban and that Dimensions was being sold in Australia with a PG classification, the Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor and the Australian Classification Board re-examined the game and revoked its classification, although Nintendo Australia assured the board that the game contained no material which could be considered child pornography. Upon re-submission, the game was awarded the stronger (but not age-restricted) M classification and was re-released shortly after. The game's cover art, which featured a high-kicking Kasumi, was slightly altered for the United States release. Reports indicating it was done to appease the ESRB appeared, but a Tecmo Koei spokesperson claimed that "this whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion. The truth is that when we submitted the box art as-is from Japan, there were a few parties both internal and external who thought there might be some issue with the image. Nobody 'demanded' anything be changed, it was just pointed out. You have to pick your battles, and covering up that small bit of the image seemed to be harmless." Kasumi is a popular subject of unofficial dōjinshi erotic comics in which she often has sexual relationship with Ayane. She has been subject of a number of other unofficial adult media including an erotic film starring Nao Oikawa, a pornographic machinima and an erotic game with a CD featuring erotic vocal sample; 14 of the game's songs were also released separately. A fan mod adds Kasumi to Ultra Street Fighter IV'', mapping her over Chun-Li.
