Rather than commissioning an artist or employing photofit software, officers 
  put together a caricature of the man they want to trace using a tool 
  intended for gamers to create their own characters.

The popular console's "Mii" feature allows users to devise 
  personalised avatars by selecting from a range of different face shapes, 
  hairstyles, eyes, ears and other features. Players can also fine-tune their 
  characters' clothing, size and expressions.

The cartoonish creations can then be used in a range of Nintendo games 
  including Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

The Mii created by the police in Japan – apparently a young man with long 
  brown hair and sunglasses – was included on poster at the scene of the 
  collision in the Kanagawa prefecture in the south of the country, next to a 
  photo of the type of car involved.
