We never really expected to write about anything like this, but Automaton Media<\/a> has reported on a rather unusual fan-made Kirby<\/strong> card game. That seems relatively harmless on its own \u2014 despite the fact that it’s a card game featuring Kirby, a pretty huge Nintendo property, that was being sold on the Japanese marketplace BOOTH \u2014 but when we tell you there’s a micro bikini-clad Chef Kawasaki, you might raise an eyebrow.<\/p>\n

Chef Kawasaki\u2019s Microbikini Karuta<\/strong> is based on ‘karuta’, a type of Japanese playing card that was introduced to the country by Portuguese traders back in the 1600s. There are two types of karuta \u2014 Uta-Garuta, the former working with a much larger deck with the latter aimed more at children. Nintendo itself used to sell these kinds of cards as far back as 1890. Tofuga has a pretty excellent summary<\/a> of just what karuta cards are if you’re curious about the details.<\/p>\n

So how does Chef Kawasaki, the popular Kirby character who made his debut in Kirby Super Star<\/a>, fit into all of this? And in a micro bikini, of all things? Apparently, it’s a bit of a meme. Kawasaki only wears an apron, usually, so fans’ imagination must’ve run wild thinking of what this big chef actually wears to keep himself warm. And, apparently, it’s a micro bikini.<\/p>\n

You can check out what the card game looks like over on the game’s official Twitter page<\/a>, but it’s exactly as you might expect… In the meantime, here’s what Kawasaki officially looks like:<\/p>\n
