This newest batch of Ninja Gaiden 3 screenshots show the marvelous Momijii fighting alongside protagonist Ryu. Although she may look like a dead ringer for a Dead or Alive crossover character such as Ayane, Kasumi, or Ryu himself, Momijii was created specifically for Ninja Gaiden. She first appeared in the well reviewed Nintendo DS title Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.

Man those were the days. Itagaki was leading Team Ninja and the world was right. Anyway, Momijii looks mad awesome/hot/Asian in these new screens, so hit the break to gawk at them. Ninja Gaiden 3 will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 20th.
