Rio in the running to appear in new Yakuza game
Source: Kotaku
On Friday when I was looking at the latest video game news on Kotaku, I found out that Rio is now one of the sixteen finalists to appear as a hostess in the new Yakuza game by Sega.
I knew back in May that Sega was having a casting call for female applicants to appear as hostesses in the new Yakuza game, but it’s a surprise for me to find out that Rio is one of the finalists, as I had no idea that she had applied to appear in the game. I wish her luck and hopefully that she will be selected by Sega to appear in the game. If she is selected, then the new Yakuza game will definitely be on my list of games to import from Japan when it happens to be released.

I hope taking real people’s face and put them in a game instead of coming up with their own character design isn’t becoming a norm. Then again, if the best looks that they can come up with are those like in the latest FF, maybe it’s a good thing.
