Heihachi Mishima from Namco Bandai's Tekken series, and Toro, cartoonish marketing feline for Sony Japan, have both been confirmed for launch (on October 23) by Sony during an EVO 2012 presentation.

In addition to the new characters, a new stage called Dojo has been revealed. Dojo (depicted above) is inspired by Chop Chop Master Onion's stomping/chopping grounds, as seen in Parappa the Rapper.

Update: The PlayStation Blog has posted videos of both characters, which we've embedded below the break.

Toro, a cartoon character popular in Japan (also known as Sony Cat) has been confirmed for the lineup during Sony's pre-TGS briefing. Kuro, his neighbor in the toons, will also be playable.

Keep an eye on our liveblog for up-to-the-minute coverage!

Yes, this game will never come out in America (none of the Mainichi games have yet). However, this collection of mini-games is much too adorable to ignore! Play through games like baseball to unlock even more adorable images of Sony's Japanese mascots in cute, eye-melting outfits.

The game will be available in Japan next week, and will also feature PSP connectivity through what appears to be a Tamagotchi-style minigame.

However, gamers in Japan are already getting ready for some free (and paid) DLC content for the game. As usual, Nippon Ichi is preparing post-release DLC. The most surprising addition to Disgaea 2 comes through a collaboration with Sony: Mainichi Issho's Toro and Kuro can both be added to the game. The two Sony mascots are relatively unknown here in the States, but the felines are quite beloved by players on the other side of the pond. The two cats will be ready to hand special items to players, so keep an eye out for them!

It would be nice if NIS America decided to include this DLC content as part of the retail release in the States. However, considering the DLC for Disgaea 3, that's unlikely. To see the other DLC characters, visit PSPHyper.

Are you looking for something to put next to your alarm clock, MP3 charge station, PS3, or other eclectic figurine collections? Perhaps Sony's new Japanese mascot, Toro, will fit nicely amongst your other strange goods from the land of the rising sun. Toro's friends are also available for your collecting urges.

If you've ever ventured onto the Japanese PS Store, you've probably seen this cat in a bunch of different places. It was the first game to feature customizable soundtracks, if we remember correctly. Anyway, the figure comes with detachable faces that can represent how you feel that day. Or how you wish you felt. Enjoy!
