Characters
The playable characters consist of seven females from the previous Dead or Alive titles, plus Lisa, who makes her first appearance in this title. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is the only time Dennis Rodman voices Zack in the DOA series. Although Zack is not a playable character, he does appear in both the beginning and ending movies of the game, with small appearances throughout the game. His girlfriend, Niki, appears only in cutscenes. As such, the volleyball players consist of:
- Ayane - Japanese ninja and rival (as well as half-sister) of Kasumi.
- Christie - British assassin and automobile enthusiast.
- Helena - French opera singer fond of walking her dog.
- Hitomi - German high-school student and aspiring chef.
- Kasumi - Japanese runaway ninja who enjoys fortune-telling and origami.
- Leifang - Chinese college student with an interest in aromatherapy.
- Lisa - American stock broker and amateur surfer.
- Tina - American wrestler and daughter of Bass Armstrong.
Each of the playable characters has her own likes and dislikes (documented in the game manual), which influence how likely she is to accept or be impressed by certain gifts. Favorable gifts include those based on her favorite food, favorite color, and hobbies.
