Little King’s Story contest winner. Both Eric and I were enthralled by this picture from Famitsu of some guy addressing his new kingdom, princess Ayana Tsubaki contractually by his side. Dude is totally holding court already — he’s a natural.

Siliconera explains the situation: it was a contest in which Marvelous looked for someone down on their luck but upbeat, who would then be handed a crown, cape, scepter, and moustache, and turned into a king! 24-year-old musician Ken Suyama was chosen. Here he is playing the ukulele:

In addition to his new job of standing around and promoting Little King’s Story, Suyama won 100 Whoppers from Burger King, 100 bananas from Banana King, and 100 bathhouse visits from Bath King. Here’s Ken taking a royal bite from a Whopper (from GAME Watch):

Totally makes me crave BK, even though I just ate there on a whim like a week ago and found it disappointing (even compared to my memories of Burger King food).

Buy: Little King’s Story ($44.99)
