Binko
Voice: Yu Kobayashi

Age: Unknown Birthday: Unknown Star sign: Unknown
Blood type: Unknown
Likes: Things that get her bin-binned up
Dislikes: Things that don’t put the bin in bin-bin
Interests: Playing the “Pocky Game”

Binko is Yurukill Land’s kimono-clad, mask-wearing guide. She is polite, and old-fashioned in her speech, yet when dealing with the Prisoners, she’s sharp-tongued and quick to ridicule. Variations of the phrase, “bin-bin,” are her trademark. Under the auspices of Yurukill Inc., she oversees the games offering the Prisoners a chance for acquittal at Yurukill Land.

1) Thoughts on playing Binko
2) A message for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games players

"Binko... She's multifaceted, that's for sure. I think she's really charming! Is that okay?
"Yeah, why not?" Ah, th-thanks. Binko's with me today, actually. She'll leave you constantly guessing at who the real Binko is, and even then, she's just a really great person. "Thanks." As I was reading through the script for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games, with all its twists and turns and nail-biting developments, I was wondering just how it would end. Erm... "Are you gonna talk about all the unique characters?" Yes, exactly! Thanks, Binko, you're the best. "You leave this to me." Where was I? Yeah, so just like Binko said, the characters are all so unique, they're sure to steal your heart given half the chance. I really hope that players are won over by just how interesting they all are, and get sucked right into the story. How was that, Binko? "Thanks for that. Everyone! I’m waiting to meet you all in the wonderful world of Yurukill!"

1) Thoughts on playing Kristina
2) A message for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games players

"This was a fairly substantial part to play, I have to say. At first glance, Kobayashi looks like a beautiful girl, but then she opens her mouth, and you're like, oh... that's a bit of a let down… I think this game will feel pretty nostalgic for people who've been playing games for a while, and for those people getting to grips with a game like this for the first time, I think it'll prove to be fresh and exciting! I hope all kinds of people give it a try."

"Think of that hospital room scene from the Touch manga. (Translator's note: Touch was a popular high school baseball manga written and illustrated by Mitsuru Adachi. Sugita is referring to a famously emotionally-charged scene in which the protagonist is sitting next to the hospital bed his recently deceased younger twin brother is lying in, commenting on how picture perfect he looks, despite having passed on.) Shoot 'em up games aren't supposed to look this good! There are investigation sections, there are shooting sections. What's going on? Why don't you tell me? That's what I want to ask Allan Poe. But, in all seriousness, I'm very hyped for this game. I love shoot 'em ups even though I'm terrible at them. I hope the genre never dies. Oh, and I'm dying to find out just how the investigation sections are linked with the shoot 'em up sections! I tell you, shoot 'em up games aren't supposed to look this good… To everyone planning on playing Yurukill: here are some random "facts". There may even be a chance that something I've said turns out to be true! I'll leave you guys to try and sort the facts from the mumbo jumbo. Okay, here goes. Yu Kobayashi appears as a live action villain in the game. (That sounds kind of believable actually...) All the bullet sounds are her voice, too. Anyway, this game is a fusion of adventure and shoot 'em up, in fact, I've heard it described as a "Zunō Senkan Garu" for the modern generation. (Translator's note: Zunō Senkan Garu was a Japanese top down shoot 'em up released in 1985.) I hear it has RPG elements, too. Oh boy, I'm so excited... What else can I say? Ah, forget it. You'll see what the hype is all about once you play it!"
