As a kid I assumed no one knew how old these two were because they were mysterious ninjas, but it turns out Tecmo just redacted their ages in the English translation for obvious reasons. It's funny they went with this route instead of just bumping both characters up to 18 years old. I guess Tomonobu Itagaki refused to tamper with the sanctity of his precious DOA canon

I'm sad to report the PS2 version of DOA2 seems to be one of those early PS2 games that's interlaced to hell and back and will look like a jagged mess no matter how much you upscale it in PCSX2 
I'm glad I'm not alone on this lmao.
I was just thinking about this some more and how characters are being drawn in what I'm currently reading (ZOM 100), when I reached a great character recap spread at the start of volume 10.

Hint:
The three guys on the right are all the same age, and the girl on the left is the oldest character out of all of them.The uncensored image (mild story spoilers):
