We're not exactly sure about the specifics behind Kanji Ken, but we couldn't just pass on sharing this offbeat commercial with our readers! The 27-second spot has a Kung-Fu Theatre feel to it, supporting our suspicions that this is some sort of training game for learning Kanji -- Chinese characters that have been incorporated into the Japanese writing system.
Developers Success Corp. (Touch Detective, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja) put up a teaser site for Kanji Ken, but there hasn't been much information posted besides this "Kanji Dragon" video. Watch the commercial after the break.

What was that? Needs more gameplay. Bad voiceover dubs and Godzilla. Oddly reminds me of those Japanese Sega Saturn commercials.
