Dead or Alive is a 3D fighting game series by Tecmo. It's known for its attractive female cast of characters and its "boob physics", but it's actually a fun and well-made fighting game. I'd say the most iconic game of the series is DOA2.
I had always heard of DOA, but I never had the chance to play it until this year since I didn't have any Microsoft consoles when I was a kid and the PS2 only got DOA2 Hardcore.
DOA also has a spin-off series where the female cast goes into an island to play volleyball and do other stuff, depending on the game. I played the very first DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball game recently and made a video about it, in case you're curious:

The most recent one, Venus Vacation, is only available in Asia, it seems. Apparently American video game media outlets would have a problem with a game like that nowadays making it to their country, and the rest of the Western world seems to have gotten screwed in addition as well, bah...
The series also has several male characters, even if they're not as famous. The most known has to be Ryu Hayabusa who's originally from Ninja Gaiden. The last couple of mainline games also got guest characters from KOF and Virtua Fighter.
