In the machine market of the new game in the "Kirby" series, "Kirby: Flying Knight", a very popular player-made flying vehicle - designed with the character "Chef Kawasaki" in a miniature bikini - was suddenly removed from the shelves recently.The disappearance of this design, which once topped the list of the most popular and expensive customized vehicles on the market, immediately aroused dissatisfaction among Japanese players.

The design originated from a classic meme that has long been circulated in Japanese Kirby fan circles. The reason for its sudden removal is not yet clear.Although there is a precedent for fan games being asked to be removed from the shelves by the developer HAL Labs due to commercial use of the image of Chef Kawasaki, but since this incident only involves player-made content in the game, it is not yet possible to say whether the removal is due to official intervention.
It is worth noting that while the original design disappeared, a number of replacement works with similar styles emerged on the market.The most eye-catching one is a succubus-style Chef Kawasaki design, wearing a red bikini with matching bat wings, tail and shoes.The new design has quickly risen to become the most expensive vehicle on the market, showing that there is still an incredible demand for this kind of content - although this may include a premium due to players fearing that the new design will be removed from the market again.

There is an interesting theory circulating among players as to why the Succubus version has not been removed: Compared to the original "micro bikini" design of just a string bikini, the new version covers more parts of the body.Of course, this statement has yet to be officially confirmed, and the creative craze in the Kirby: Sky Knight machine market continues.
