For whatever reason, when a Japanese game is released Stateside, there's a tendency to make the boxart—or even the character models—a little more ''hardcore''. Maybe it's as simple as adding [[Angry Eyebrows]], or maybe the character's model is completely redone. This is often done to characters who are supposed to be cute in the first place. Sometimes it goes the other way, too: an American character may be made cuter for the Japanese release.
