Bayonetta Director Hideki Kamiya is all about stylish action. Not only is he responsible for the fast and flashy Devil May Cry series, but he’s also working on a game starring a gun-toting witch who sports pistols on shoes — fierce! Yeah, it’s obvious he can make ass-kickings look fabulous, but will he look pretty after we hit him up with our five random questions? Let’s find out.
1. Bayonetta stars a witch who shoots gun. So does another game that came out on the Xbox 360 a few years ago. Can you name it?
Hideki Kamiya: Bullet Witch.

5. Bayonetta designer, Kenichiro “Yoshi” Yoshimura, recently wrote a blog about making the model for Bayonetta. In it, he mentions his love for a certain part of a woman’s body. What part is that?
HK: Butt.
Bitmob: Correct, he loves asses! Speaking of asses, you royally kicked ours.
HK: He’s probably the best butt-maker in the world.
Bitmob: I guess he’s a valuable, uh, asset. Yeah. Ahem, anyway…
Points: 5; Hits: 0
Final Score: 5 Points (Perfect Score)
Ouch! That hurt, Kamiya. Next time at least pretend like you don’t know an answer.
