It's better than you might think

Cast announced for Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns on DS

We've already told you about the forthcoming Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja, but these character profiles tumbled through the letterbox this morning and it seemed only right that we should share them with you. If you're a fan of the series, they should get your juices of anticipation flowing. If you're not, they're unintentionally hilarious. Either way, good read.

As a special service to you, I've italicised the most hilarious bits, although feel free to suggest your own if you disagree.

Izuna (pictured)
Yep, that's me! I am such a sexy kunoichi. Look at my deep green eyes, my full bodied figure and- Oh, you wanted to hear about my personality? Well, I'm the main character of this little show. People say I'm lazy, self-centered, and that I have no common sense. You know what though? They're just ! jealous of my star power. .

Gen-An
We call him "Grandboss," . because he's pretty much our boss and our only family. In fact, we'd follow him to the end of the world in search of a place where he can settle down. Last time... that didn't work out so well, but we'll keep looking. I know you're tired Grandboss, don't worry...

Shino
This is my best friend, Shino. I call her Shino-Sis, because she treats me more like a younger sister than a friend. But she actually has a real sister who got separated from her a long time ago. Even though her expression doesn't change much, she burns with fiery passion on the inside. I'm sure of it!

Mitsumoto
Oh... him. He's the guy who vowed his allegiance to us, making him our eternal servant. He totally thinks he's awesome, and he's always trying to pick up on girls. What a loser. And listen, it's still MY game, so BACK OFF!

Ichika
She's a really strong fisherwoman from Suirei who I totally thought would never get married. She's too buff for her own good, and she's kind of a tomboy. But apparently she found someone, so...

Suiren
She's the goddess of Water who just thinks she's sooo mature! I'll tell you what she really is though! A brat! A brat with a temper who likes to play tricks on people! Is it obvious we don't get along?

Sakichi
Ehh, he's not the best looking guy in the world, and he's just a simple fisherman from Suirei, but he's kinda smart, and honest, too. Looks like his love for Ichika paid off...

Shuuchi
He's the god of Earth, and he's way into honor and following Bushido, the code of the warrior. Whatever floats his boat. Even though he won't admit it, he's totally my biggest fan. Isn't that right, you big Earth god, you!?

Fuuka
The goddess of Wind. She's always so calm and kind. Even to me, and that's really something. People say she's got a violent side, but they must be mistaking her for someone else. I think...

Kagen
If he had half as much brains as he did brawn... Well, he's the god of Fire, and he's... compassionate and emotional, but... simple. Very, very simple.

The game's due out on June 22nd.
