SEX: MALE
AGE: 19
LIKES: PREPARING SUSHI
DISLIKES: HIS BOSS, KATASHI
HOMETOWN: TOKYO
Mukoyoyo (the hero of the game!) is a young sushi chef, he is a gifted and hard working chef but his boss Katashi is always putting him down and never gives him a chance to show his true skills. Mukoyoyo takes great pride in his skill for making delicious sushi and takes it very seriously. He lives on his own in a dingy high rise flat, where he spends most of is time perfecting sushi making skills and trying new dishes to impress Katashi.
Although Mukoyoyo often obeys his boss and comes across as a shy individual, he does not lack courage when it is needed and this leads him to his destiny of saving Tokyo

SEX: ASEXUAL
AGE: 19000 EARTH YEARS
LIKES: DESTRUCTION
DISLIKES: SUSHI
HOMETOWN: UNKOWN
The alien monster, is an organic wrecking ball for an alien planet. It has been grown in an egg which has been sent to earth to destroy everything, creating a blank canvas for alien collonisation. It has been engineered to resist any kind of human attack, but there is one thing that the alien planet did not consider. That being sushi, which the monster is allergic to. The monster is a remorseless creature whose only purpose in life is do destroy anything and everything.

Interface... finalized?
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!Here is a rough sketch of the possible main interface. You may also notice that I have added a new conditional idea regarding the sushi selection. Like many 'shoot-em-ups', if you choose the better weapon it tends to be slower in re-loading ammunition! So I thought that the better the sushi (weapon) the slower it travels to hit the monster... but the damage will be far greater!

I was browsing through sh*t loads of bookmarks in Safari when I stopped and clicked on Sanrio website; creator of the 'Hello Kitty' franchise!
The simple clean lines, neat features and quirky personalities in some way reflect on Mokuyoyo's himself. The penguin character is called 'Badtz-Maru' I believe; totally hilarious design!
Moving through the website, each character has its own page showing their favorite hobbies, things they eat and all things kaiawe (cute).

The narrative
In the not so distant future is where our story begins. sky scrapers tower over modern Tokyo as futuristic hovering crafts whiz by (think Bladerunner)
We follow the story of Mukoyoyo, who is a young sushi chef from Tokyo, Japan. He strives to impress his boss the master sushi chef Katashi, who is constantly putting Mukoyoyo down and condemning his skills. Mukoyoyo is constantly trying to prove himself, but little does he know he will get the chance to sooner than he thinks.
After a huge argument with his boss, Mukoyoyo is kicked out of Katashi's sushi restaurant and is told by Katashi that he will never make sushi in Tokyo again! Mukoyoyo makes his way home in the pouring rain with his head lowered in shame and defeat.
Meanwhile on the other side of the town there is a commotion happening, a large egg shaped ufo has crash landed into the street, a crowd has formed to investigate while the police turn up and cordon off the area. As the crowd look on in awe the object starts to move progressively more violently, the egg shaped object then blasts open shattering into pieces causing a huge cloud of gas to form. Before the cloud has time to clear tentacles start to rapidly emerge and grab innocent bystanders.
Back on his way home Mukoyoyo starts to hear screams around him and sees people running and hiding, confused Mukoyoyo looks up to see what the crowds are running from. When he looks up he sees a giant one eyed purple monster creating a path of destruction through the city. He sees the monster heading for Katashi's restaurant, the monster smashes the building up and devours its contents. Mukoyoyo looks on in shock and slight amusement at Katashi's misfortune. However seconds later the alien monster recoils and vomits up what he has just eaten. Mukoyoyo then realises that the monster must be allergic to sushi, and so he takes the initiative and steps up to the job of saving Tokyo and possibly the world from the alien threat!
Mukoyoyo runs to his hover craft and here is were the player takes control, firing sushi at the monster to save the city from destruction.
On successfully completing the game, Mukoyoyo becomes the most famous sushi chef in all of Tokyo and with Katashi's restaurant destroyed Mukoyoyo hires Katashi as a dish cleaner for Mukoyoyo's new sushi restaurant.
