We need to put up with the local non-innovations and many of the missing heads simply because they are considered "too Japanese for Western use". In fact, even these days, few Western actors can understand the full extent of the development of the different Kunio types in 8 and 16-bit formats. But ignoring this bloody mess – he was first introduced to the West Refreshing – often proves fatal error.
