Haha, this is great. Do you play as him?

Anyway, as a celebrity, I like Kakuda. But his reputation as a muscleman proceeds his reputation as a karateka. I completely forget that he used to fight.

Dear feels,
I do not think that Shihan Kakuda is a "controllable" character. It is more like you input some personal data and then you follow Shihan's on-screen demonstration.

I think besides adminstrative role in K-1, Shihan is also a entertainer (he recently voices a character in "Hokuto no Ken" and he also becomes a spokesperson for a brand of sports clothes. I think these are good changes as it will help to demystify Karate and Kakutogi for the general public (all of Shihan's roles and public appearances are very positive).

Is Shihan also running for a electoral role? I saw in Kanagawa-ken there were posters plastered on the telephone polls with his face on them and I didn't really stop to look, but they appeared to be the typical political variety.

Dear smoothsake,
No idea. If you will be seeing that poster again please take a picture and post up.

Osu!

What a crazy, fun idea! I wonder how many will feel weird about having him in the home?

I think that it's a great idea! I wonder if you have to fill in a whole bunch of questions, and take some sort of physical assessment test at the beginning to see your present level, and then the game sets up a routine for you from the information.

Cool!!!

I am sure that it is exactly as you have described it supergroup7.

Way to take back the gaming environment from the "couch potato" status, and evolve it into a tool for physical training and motivation!

heres another similar game thats coming out soon:

Wii Fit | Nintendo Wii Fitness | Wii Fit Health Fitness | Wii Fit | Wii

they test your weight, bmi, and bf in this... and then you work towards your goal. I'm glad to see video games are evolving.

Wii Fit has been out in Japan for a number of months, and is being snatched off the shelves very quickly!!

Have you tried it? If so,how is it? I'm curious about it, not quite sure what to make of it.

It has yet to debut here in North America, but signs and posters are everywhere for it
