Leifang (Japanese: レイファン, Hepburn: Reifan), originally stylized as Lei Fang, is a character in the Dead or Alive fighting game series by Koei Tecmo. She was introduced in the original Dead or Alive in 1996 and has appeared in the series' subsequent installments, as well as spinoff titles such as the Dead or Alive Xtreme series and related media to the franchise. Created by Tomonobu Itagaki who snuck a rough version of her character into location test builds of the game, she is a Tai Chi martial arts prodigy who competes in the franchise's tournaments to prove her superiority over fellow combatant Jann Lee after he had previously rescued her.
One of the Dead or Alive series' more popular characters, she has received positive reception since her debut for her characterization in the series as an optimistic and strong character, while also received praise for the beauty of her design and variety of outfits. She additionally received praise as both a portrayal of female characters in fighting games and portrayal of Chinese cultural aspects within them, namely for her application of Tai Chi as a fighting style in light of the liberties fighting games take with martial arts, but also for her hairstyles and dresses.
