Kayo Police has imposter on Facebook

Kayo Police revealed on Twitter that there's someone else on Facebook who is using her name and photos. Kayo Police herself is not using Facebook, but she has a blog here.

We don't hear about Kayo Police much these days since Game no Jikan show (every Thursday) on Niconico that she used to work as a co-host ended in September last year.

Umehara on Yoasobi 3 Shimai

Tonight's Yoasobi 3 Shimai show had a scoop about KayoPolice and Daigo Umehara at Evolution 2012.

As already mentioned, KayoPolice went to Evo 2012 with KSK as a TV staff, and this scoop was their job. (It also had a similar scoop last year.)

The show is broadcasted on Nippon Television so a lot of people around the country will see it on TV.

Game no Jikan 100: KayoPolice vs Nagisa in P4U

The 100th episode of Game no Jikan show featured a P4U match between KayoPolice and Nagisa!

The show this week introduces P4U and normally it's KayoPolice's duty to demonstrate the gameplay of a fighting game. But this time, Nagisa was actually the one who lead this.

Due to the P4U Effect, Nagisa started fighting game because of it. Her character movements in the show was very impressive, especially considering she had never touched an arcade stick before KSK taught her -- 17 months ago.

Nagisa's main is Yukiko, the character that she cosplayed.  KayoPolice, who did less homework, played Chie and Mitsuru.

Nagisa is a model and a show personality (and a cosplayer) who co-hosts the show with KayoPolice and Kouji Watanabe (a game writer).

The show also celebrated the 100th episode by showing the highlights of the past episodes.

KayoPolice going Evo 2012

KayoPolice announced on her Twitter that she will go to Evolution again this year.

Last year, Kayo went to America to attend Tekken: Blood Vengeance CG movie premiere in Los Angeles (she voiced a character) and Evolution 2011 at the same time. She participated in both SF4AE (winning 2 opponents on the stage) and Tekken 6 tournament (also a guest commentator). She also cosplayed C. Viper on the first day, and Xiaoyu on the second day.

Kayo is expected to have a scoop about this later on TV again.

Mago & Tokido on smartphone show

Capcom posted a test episode of a show for smartphones featuring a match between Mago and Tokido, with Kagecchi, Capcom's Ayano, and KayoPolice as commentators.

This show called "Kakutou Game No1" (Fighting Game No.1) is one of the shows on NOTTV that will be broadcasted directly to smartphones in Japan starting from April 2012.

- KSK showed how to abuse Kazuya's forward dash throw invincibility.
- Viewers like Poison's Cross Arts.
- Ono joined the show half way. Then Frieda.
- Kayo picked Poison from viewers' requests.
- Cammy has SF4's Cannon Strike. (You can do it really low.)
- Kayo made a mistake by advertising her show instead of the game.
- They gave away T-shirts and towels to the viewers at the end of the show.

- The Japanese - Who's coming to Evo 2011

Great event! I just got back from a long sleep. And I still need a long break. Plus, I want to catch up with things I missed since I couldn't watch 3 streams at the same time. And those last day money matches. Not sure I have time to watch/write it all so short opinions/updates in my head/hands go first. (the summary posts will be updated over time.)

The Stream
- Why didn't they announce the stream URLs on the news? They revealed just when it started, and even announced the URL on the stream!
- Choosing Ustream is one of the best decisions. I don't have a problem at all.
- Having the low quality stream is also one of the best decisions (I mentioned about it before.) There're 4,200 viewers peak on the LQ stream.
- The main stream's presentation was great. Scores were updated as it happened. Camera switching was great.

Kindevu
- I'm glad he came! (He wasn't sure at first.) He's one of the true top players.
- Seth Killian said something bad about him, but I don't think it's true at all.
- He said he'll return next year!

Umehara
- The result didn't surprise me at all. He had to fight Poongko first, and there're 3 C. Viper players.
- Good thing, some people now finally realized that he's not invincible.

Other players
- I don't expect Momochi to win Evo, but I didn't expect Tokido and Mago to beat him either.
- Mago was random as usual. He won or lost when he shouldn't.

Commentators
- AKA & James Xie (BlazBlue finals), Chen, UltraDavid, Keits, Aris were impressive. I think AKA & Xie made some people buy BlazBlue after watching.

Japan Booth
Thanks to Gama no Abura (with the help of Nekohashi who acts as a translator), this's the first time Evo has a Japanese media coming directly from its fighting game community. There's a lot of interviews and casual talks, and all streamed to Japan. The station was also used as a place to hang out, too. Even Harada (Tekken producer) and Ono (SF4 producer) were there. (Check all the archived videos here.)

Evo 2012
- Shiro said that he'll come again! (That means Fuudo, Shungoku Neurosis will probably come, too)
- Gama-san is in love with Evo now and it looks like he'll return again.
- I hope Frieda return next year. The big changes in UMvC3 will help. He's the only well-known JP player who chooses MvC3 over SF4. All he can do is studying from YouTube clips, beside playing with Tokido and Nemo. Respect.

Fuudo
This is actually the second international SF4 tournament he won. He won World Game Cup in France last year with Ryu, over Umehara. He also plays with Umehara in the game center often. He trained with Shungoku N. Viper before the finals. Winning Evo is understandable. Now he's on everyone's radar, it'll be tougher for him from now on.

A Viper killer?
Fuudo beat Wolfkrone 2-0, 4 rounds straight. He beat Latif twice, winning 5 games out of 6.

The Japanese - Who's coming to Evo 2011 (ver. 8)

Nyanshi is confirmed. He's coming with Mago & Tokido, and is on the same flight with Shiro group. Gama-san and Frieda left together already.

Kazunoko said he just got back from playing with (and getting beaten up by) Umehara tonight. So Umehara probably leaves very late.


Update history

• July 26: Choco is confirmed. She'll come with Shiro group. Leaving tomorrow's night.
• July 26: Kindevu is confirmed to come. (He's at the airport and leaving with KayoPolice) Sako's Wife said that Sako's not coming, unless he changes his mind.
• July 16: The list from the news in the previous update might not be accurate, since KSK did confirm (skip to 2:38) that he'll be at the Evo meeting held by GODSGARDEN in Japan. The event lets the fans come to watch the stream and cheer together.
• July 16: Evo organizer revealed a list of Japanese players who are coming to Evo 2011. Kindevu (was thinking) decided to come. RF is coming. KSK seems to be on a secret mission, same with the last year. Nyanshi is a strong Sagat player, and was the main man behind TOPANGA Charity Cup, so maybe he's on a secret mission as well. Nabe is Tokido's pupil. He'll be both a player and a cameraman as revealed in the previous episodes of TOPANGA TV. Kuni, who was at Evo 2009 but not 2010, will return.
• July 7: Choco revealed on NSB TV that Momochi is coming with Shiro. (skip to 2:16)
• July 1: See this post.
• June 25: Big news is Shiro just announced via Twitter that he, Fuudo, and Shungoku Neurosis will participate this year's Evolution.

KayoPolice in Tekken: Blood Vengeance

As revealed this week, KayoPolice will voice a character in Tekken: Blood Vengeance. And It will be her first voice acting work.

The CG animation movie will be in theaters on July 26 for North America but on September 3 for Japan. Her role was not mentioned, but the official site says that her voice will be used in both version.

From the site, the only possible character that still doesn't have a voice actor is Panda.

Kao TV 2011.07.22

- They streamed from Nvidia's place.
- Special guest: KayoPolice
- Because the show is now sponsored by Nvidia (since May), KSK and Kami-chan (brown shirt, from Ura Kao TV) will play various PC games, too. (Mark, an FPS pro, played Duke Nukem Forever after Kayo went back.)
- Nvidia made them wear a green wig.
- They played Dead Rising 2 in 3D, that's why they wear 3D glasses.
- Watch here. (skip to 1:07 for Kayo)

KayoPolice summary
- She appeared in Kao TV for the first time since December last year.
- She likes green color, so the green shirt went along with Nvdia's green theme. Coincidence.
- The game on 3DTV blew her mind. She said Cody's face popped out in her kissing range.
- She teased KSK by asking about the relationship between him and Tokido & Mago. (The topic is prohibited on the show. LOL)
- She expected to win 5 matches at Evo. KSK then said it's top 128! (LOL)
- KSK: What's a public viewing? Kayo: Pub. Lic. Booing?
- She came with her manager and hair stylist.
- "People say I'm scary when [playing fighting games]. That's not true^^" *cute mode activated*
- For King of Fighters, she likes KOF2002 the most.
- She's still inexperienced and doesn't have matchup knowledge for some characters. She didn't know what and how to deal with Zangief's U2.
- She said she likes to play against Ryu, Ken, and especially Sagat. But she met a good Sagat at the end so she was on serious mode in the last match and told everyone not to talk. (but KSK talked anyway LOL)
- At the end, she did a "monomane" (mimicry) of a sound of an old door of a ghost house.
- She thought about cutting her nails for Evo to avoid an input error. (normally she plays with long nails)
- She'll voice a character in the upcoming Tekken (CG) movie.
- She was busy and still had to work after the show even it's after midnight.
- She's good at acting and likes to play with camera/viewers. She always makes a "Doya" face (cocky face) after winning and pretend to be upset after losing.

KayoPolice joining Evo 2011

KayoPolice, a Japanese model who can actually play fighting games, announced tonight on Game no Jikan show that she will be participating Evolution 2011, and will compete in Tekken 6 and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.

Although she is not a competitive player, this surely will add more hype to the event, and some media or the show's staff are likely to be there for a coverage, too.

KayoPolice's first photo-essay "Re-born" was released just last week. The book reveals her background and contains some of her semi-nude photographs.
