I can't link to the LoveLove Tenshi site lest I be screened, but Luva Wu'er Kaixi ("ウルカイシ" - check from the judges?) is a (very young-looking) 29-year-old archaeology professor from China (Shanghai, to be exact).

OK, now: this version of Luva seems to take his name from Wu'erkaixi (look it up on Wikipedia; again, I can't post any freaking links), a human rights activist who got his start in the Tienanmen protests as a student leader and who's now on the run from Chinese authorities (or at least can't go back to China, lest he be arrested for his role in Tienanmen). The real Wu'erkaixi is a member of the Uyghur, a group of ethnic Turkish living in Eastern Asia whose dress is kind-of-but-not-really-but-close-enough to traditional Luva's. So: is Professor Luva meant to be Uyghur as well? And isn't this all rather odd material for an otome game? Is Professor Luva going to need the assistance of Oscar Rockwell soon? Is this how all the LoveLove Angels get together - to save Luva from torture and life imprisonment in a Chinese prison?

Also, is it me, or are they just announcing characters for this thing and don't have an actual game?
