What appears to be the seventh new character to be added to the ranks of fighters in the new, soon to come Soul Calibur IV game, has made an appearance (presumably, she'll appear on both the PS3 and 360 console versions). She doesn't show as much skin as some of the other characters, but that is just fine.

Personally, I don't find her as cool, or visually appealing as Ashlotte, or many of the other female characters, but she is attractive enough.

The guest artist Hirokazu Hisayuki, has been involved in several anime. Notably; My-Otome, Mai Hime, Outlaw Star, The Vision of Escaflowne, and (what I find ironic) Tekken: The Motion Picture.

I didn't even know there was a Tekken movie....

So, do you think there are any other surprises like this, awaiting people looking forward to Soul Calibur IV? Time will tell.

With this, the seventh new character to join the Soulcalibur IV line up, we're starting to notice a trend. Kamikirimusi, like her predecessors Shura, Scheherezade, Algol Fear, and Ashlotte, is a female fighter designed by a well known Japanese artist, this time by guest artist Hirokazu Hisayuki. Kamikirimusi will fight with a very large metal club/mace and satisfy fans of exposed upper thigh flesh.

Her facial expression seen in the scan above — click through for the full-sized version if you're just visiting the front page — accurately sums up our thoughts on her design.
