Mii sought in Japanese hit-and-run
In Japan's Kanagawa prefecture, it looks like you can add 'police sketch artist' the list of occupations being killed by technology. The authorities there evidently skipped the pad and pencil and went straight to the Nintendo Wii when they had to come up with an image of the perpetrator, using the Mii digital avatar tool.
It would almost be more believable if the police were actually looking for an avatar that had escaped its console and gone on a joyride, rather than looking for a human being who looks like an avatar that looks a little surprised and a little high.
Oh, and the sign says "This man is wanted for a hit and run – if you see him please report him to Kanagawa police immediately." You might start your search in Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2. As comical as this is now, mark our words: We haven't seen the last of this.

Tonight at 10:
Police are searching for the driver of a hit and run. The incident occurred yesterday just inside the Coconut Mall. The driver reportedly hit another vehicle and then drove away laughing while throwing banana peels on the road. Police ask that if you spot the character pictured above that you contact the authorities and do not approach him. He is known to carry bombs and sometimes shoots turtle shells from his vehicle while driving. Police also believe this is the same perpetrator who morphs his car from time to time using a Knight-Rider-esque transformation technique into the shape of a bullet. Avoid this driver at all costs.

but he doesn't really look like the Mii. Must have worn a different disguise in Japan.

That person will be easy to find since he/she is not very japanese looking. Just bust anyone with light brown hair and face-wide brows.

Caution: Suspect likes to hide in 'parades'. Also, is known to hang out in plazas.
