Tecmo bikinis on the loose

The publisher behind the Dead or Alive series has announced that a line of swimwear based on apparel available in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball will soon be available for purchase from the Tecmo online store. The $149.99 bikinis come in four styles that were designed by Team Ninja and produced in Japan.

"Video games are a huge part of everyone's lifestyle," said John Inada, director of sales and marketing for Tecmo. "With such a successful crossover between games, movies, and music, we realized that fashion apparel also needed to be part of this mix. It's just another way of connecting with our trend-setting audience."

More information on and photos of the swimwear can be found on the Tecmo Web site.
