Japanese police seek Mii in hit-and-run probe

Have you seen this man? His bespectacled and vacant-expressioned face is wanted in Japan in connection with a hit-and-run accident, but for some reason the local police saw fit to print a "Wanted" poster with a mugshot that looks suspiciously -- make that exactly -- like it was created using the Nintendo Wii's Mii channel.

The Mii In Question

No, we don't have any more information about his crime, but if our time spent playing Mario Kart is anything to go by, the culprit's probably in trouble for reckless use of red shells and banana skins.

As to how is it that the police don't have a photo of the man, but have a picture of his Mii, your guess is as good as ours. Perhaps the mugshot-sketcher called in sick that day, and a creative (and tech-savvy) cop used the break-room Wii to put together an alternative.
