>Kasumi doesn’t have anything like love interest for Satoshi.
>For Satoshi, being a child, his relation with Pikachu is stronger so that even if Kasumi felt something towards Satoshi, she couldn’t intrude between them.
>Even if in Pokemon happened something like Kasumi falling in love with Satoshi, it would be like with adding spices to the cooking, too much spices would make only the flavour too complicated and it would be just intrusion.
>He also said that out of all characters in the show, Kasumi’s existence was the least justified. She was there to draw attention of girls.
>And why she left the show. After the show got longer, there was a decline in ratings so they thought of changing something about the main characters and the villains.
>Because justification of Kasumi’s existence was the weakest, she was the most endangered to leave. He says that it wasn’t like he wanted to substitute her, but they needed someone with fascinating personality, whose existence was necessary.
>Also he stated that Kasumi didn’t have enough charm for a girl.
