NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» After a strenuous full body workout on the battlefield, Kanu Unchou doesn't retire to the local tavern or laze around inside a hostess lounge. No, she relaxes in a modest bathtub by her lonesome and reminisces about the time she pounded out the smackdown on Jokou Koumei.
Toy manufacturer Daiki Kougyo has opened up preorders for a new Kanu Unchou Bathing Figure which is based on an illustration by Miyazawa Tsutomu. The figure is sculpted to 1/6 scale and measures 27cm or 10.62" in length while the bathtub spans 29cm or 11.41" which is enough to capture Kanu comfortably. The sculpture is by Hiroshi Sato (Overdard) and Kanu's completely nude although her hair has been rendered into strategic strips along the bosom area to maintain some semblance of decorum. Preorders are welcome to ship in late October 2010 at JPY15800 or US$189.90.
NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Kanu Unchou locomotive continues to roll onwards with another toy figure where the buxom warrior is branded "Miss Photogenic." When it comes to Kanu, that title's sort of redundant and in the vein of "sour lemon," "talkative yenta," and "hungry lumberjack."
Kaitendoh's upcoming 1/6 scale Kanu measures 14cm or 5.51" tall and is sculpted in a lean-back pose that's relaxed and casual. Despite her apparent carefree attitude, Kanu nevertheless keeps her spear in hand in case a brawl flares up. A frail girl like Kanu can never be too careful.
Preorders are welcome to ship in late October 2010 at JPY8000 or US$96.90 from NCS. Please note this item will incur dimensional weight and NCS recommends only shipping by UPS Ground within the continental U.S.
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» When Kanu Unchou is alone in her boudoir, she dresses herself in ribbon-width undergarments and proceeds to cup her own bosom with both hands. It has to be true because that's what Taki Corporation has wrought with their latest interpretation of the Ikkitousen superstar.
The "Red Ribbon Lingerie" version of Kanu Unchou is set at 1/8 scale and measures 22cm or 8.66" tall. Kanu is dressed with hosiery on her legs, lacey armlets around her biceps, a whisper of frilly underwear, and a thick red ribbon which covers her bosom and terminates into a bow on front. It's sort of like a gift presentation or something to that effect. A circular display base is included with the figure which includes insertion holes so that the pegs on Kanu's feet may be bolted onto the base for stability. Preorders for the "Red Ribbon" version of Kanu are welcome to ship in late June 2010 at JPY7800 or US$89.90 from NCS.
NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Even though Kanu Unchou is the reigning queen of the Japanese toy-figure market, Choun Shiryu gets her share of the love as well. Both girls hail from the Ikkitousen franchise which has captured the imaginations and fantasies of fanboys the world over. Skytube's Ikkitousen XX Choun Shiryu Pure Sexy Version figure allows Choun to keep her underwear on but her bosom is bare of any cloth. A thick pair of black socks keeps Choun's tootsies warm while her lengthy shock of silver-hued hair shields her back from the winds and wandering eyes. Choun appears to be sleeping but she nevertheless holds a blade in her left hand while a scabbard is gripped in her right hand.
Preorders are welcome to ship in August 2010 at JPY5800 or US$68.90.
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Marvelous enjoyed a decent hit with Ikkitousen Eloquent Fist from October of 2008 and the sales numbers were adequate enough to compel future releases. The game's already been re-issued under the "Best" banner and Marvelous milks Eloquent Fist with a full-blown sequel that's bound to bring fans back into the fold.
Ikkitousen Xross Impact features the same side-scrolling punching and kicking action from Eloquent Fist but the story is brand new and six new characters join the cast to increase the roster to 22 heroines. New moves are also available to the girls so they can fight with whippy panache and somewhat graceful style. Watch-worthy finishing moves may also be pulled off for onscreen fireworks. Similar to the original game, Xross Impact is replete with bouncing breasts and clothing that shatters when smacked with a strategic hit. For example, if Kanu gets punched extra hard by a hooligan, a cut scene plays where Kanu's blouse explodes and her bosom juggles something fierce. The same principle of physics applies to the other girls when they're attacked and their bosoms undulate from the impact.
Up to two players may cooperate in the action via ad-hoc mode. Upon starting the game, the playable modes are: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and Challenge Mode. The additional selections on the title screen are: Option, Gallery Mode, and Ad Hoc Mode.

Toy manufacturer Daiki Kougyo releases a Kanu Unchou Bathing Figure which is based on an illustration by Miyazawa Tsutomu. The figure is sculpted to 1/6 scale and measures 27cm or 10.62" in length while the bathtub spans 29cm or 11.41" which is enough to capture Kanu. The sculpture is by Hiroshi Sato (Overdard) and Kanu's completely nude although her hair has been placed in strategic spots to maintain some semblance of decorum. Daiki's promotional photos show the bathtub filled with what appears to be green slime but note that this liquid isn't included with the figure. We're going to fill ours with Perrier just for the bubbles.
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Kanu Unchou garners most of the attention when it comes to Ikkitousen toy figures in the Japanese marketplace because she's so pretty and smart. Kanu is but one person in the expansive Ikkitousen cast roster but she's a superstar and sculptors are expected to continue churning out figures for the forseeable future.
Occasionally, toy producers take a chance on other characters from Ikkitousen and the "Kakouen Myousai Shitagi Version" is one such gamble for the heart and soul of the figure-buying-public. Kakouen wears a 2-piece bikini which is decorated with heart-shaped designs that might evoke feelings of love. Kakouen is sculpted in a squatting position and her arms arc backwards - she must have learned the pose by watching the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit video. Preorders are welcome to ship in April 2010.
«©NCSX» Kanu Unchou's popularity and her consequent pervasiveness in the Japanese toy market has been taken for granted for a few years now. Manufacturers and vendors expect Kanu to sell well to eager fans without much resistance since that's how things are supposed to be with anything related to Ms Unchou. That changed a bit this year.
NCS has noticed a slower pace of Kanu releases in 2009 but Japanese manufacturer Eyes Project has announced a new 1/6 scale coldcast figure which depicts Kanu as a Miko or shrine maiden. Kanu is dressed in regulation-issue Mike garb with the familiar red and white color scheme. Kanu wields the Blue Dragon Crescent Blade in her hands while her feet are fitted with tabi socks. Kanu's hair is a whippy lash that seemingly billows in the wind. That kind of craftsmanship is to be revered and honored because it isn't easy to make hair look like that. From afar, Kanu almost looks like Koyori of Sengoku Ace fame except Kanu's physique is slimmer and more athletic. Koyori's body type can best be described as "Rubenesque."
Preorders for the fully assembled and pre-painted Kanu Miko figure are welcome to ship in March 2010 at JPY18900 or US$259.90 from NCS.

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» The girls of Ikkitousen are back in a 2D punch 'n kick action game that's somewhat reminiscent of the coin-operated Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon from Banpresto (1995). Rather than releasing a barebones side scrolling brawler, Marvelous goes beyond the call of duty by including a sizable amount of animated content in the game which chronicles the stories of the Ikkitousen fighters. Eloquent Fist also features a fair amount of fan service in the form of wobbling boobs that shudder, fragile clothing that shatters, and more Kanu Unchou than you can shake a stick at. Full screen images of the women warriors in vulnerable poses and wearing tattered clothing bolsters the fan service in the game.
As mentioned earlier, Eloquent Fist is a side scrolling action game where players select a warrior from 17 available fighters such as Kanu Unchou or Ryomou Shimei. At the outset, four characters are hidden behind silhouettes but 13 are ready for the selection process. Players move their heroine/hero from left to right to confront assorted enemies. Punches and kicks are used to attack but special moves are also available to defeat multiple enemies at once. If you walk into an enemy, a "grab" move is automatically triggered so that the foe is clutched. The objects in the environment such as telephone booths are destructible and reveal bonuses such as steamed buns which recover health points. As the game progresses, fighters can win new outfits such as bikinis in various colors and charge into battle wearing just a 2-piece.
NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Early in Kanu Unchou's career, she only took serious roles. Kanu was a fighter extraordinaire who battled opponents with a mighty spear. Sure, her clothing occasionally burst into shreds but she was a professional through and through. A professional who followed the script and stayed true to her warrior's heart/soul/virtue/whatever.
Recently, Kanu's been getting into sexploitation. That's where she gets into lewd poses that are conducive to ogling. The upcoming Kanu Unchou Swimsuit 2 Resin Cast figure from Musashiya fits the bill where Kanu is in an uncomfortable pose. Both legs are perpendicular to the floor and only slim wisps of clothing are bound to Kanu's bosom and bottom. Preorders are welcome to ship in September 2009 at JPY13800 or US$168.90 from NCS. Please note this item incurs dimensional weight shipping charges.
