Police use Mii

its common for lifelike drawings of wanted folks to be issued but it looks like Kanagawa police decided to use the lifelike properties of the Mii making tool to create a "this man is wanted" image. This man is wanted for a hit and run - if you see him please report him to Kanagawa police immediately.

Maybe that's what his actual Mii looks like, and they're hoping that someone that has him on their list will turn him in... for Wii points no doubt.

thats a good observation, I can see that, except if they have enough info on him to pin down his Mii then they should have enough to arrest him

Wow an Anime character got loose and actually drove a car! Looks like the guy from the Ghost in the Shell series, I think. The animators better get a tighter leash on their characters in between filming sets. / giggle .

I've seen on TV before that police use some kind of Mii-concept for sketching faces... a set of foreheads, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth etc. that can be swapped until the witness confirms the portrait....
But yeah, using a Mii simplifies the facial features way too much!
