11/6/22 Umeda Kame, Senior Reporter You’ve all seen the news. Corrupt Hiroto Akihito was sentenced to life in prison, on the following accounts; Six known counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted capital murder, one count of an unlawful firearm discharge, one of assault with a deadly weapon on a Government Official, and one count of gross malpractice. Knowing this, obviously, Kiyoko Akai has her work cut out. I mean, Commissioners are chosen by the mayor, now it might not be Mayor Akai who chose him, but she sure didn’t have to keep him as long as he did. Following up, on my co-worker, Kazuo DeLuca’s report (READ HERE). A new Commissioner has waltzed back into office. Some may remember him from a long interview I did a...

Good afternoon Karakura! Kazuo DeLuca here with a follow-up for those who missed the action this past week. There were some highs and some lows. And many shocking events made people look at each other, and the government with question marks written across their faces. The big question being. "What is going on?" I got answers to some of those questions! You all heard the news being broadcasted: Governor Malachi Moralez wanted by the police with a bounty of 500,000¥ for treason. I think that had had us all turning heads, hell. Getting that request from the KPD? It was more of a shock than anything else. But what lead up to it all? What caused a city-wide chase on a Governor? Well. He found Hiroto out. For the past months, Governor...

A suitable approach to the month of October, many citizens have reported that spiritual and supernatural activity has arise, from the incidents that have occurred in the Ochiba Forest, the voices that have been haunting and following some people around, and the old ancient tale of the Zen garden.

Hello there Karakura! A few days ago, I was invited to attend a party for Karakura’s governmental organizations. This party was hosted by Mayor Kiyoko Akai, along with her manager, Ami Akai. Let’s embed ourselves deeper into this party. What sparked it? While no direct answer from Mayor Akai, it can be assumed that this was simply a fun get-together between all of the government factions. You may be asking yourself, why is this important to the Karakura citizens? Well, parties like these are essential when talking about the city's politics, after all, how can the government adequately progress if nobody knows each other? While this one wasn’t to talk about politics, communication is essential when upholding a stable city or town. So...

Hello there Karakura! Today I’ve secured myself an interview with Mayor Kiyoko Akai. Known to most, she is the most recent Mayor of Karakura, but what you may not know is that she is now the supervisor of the Shinsei Seinaru Monastery.

12/09/22 Umeda Kame, Senior Reporter Alright. It's time for another report, from yours truly of course. It won’t be anything like the last one, instead, this time I got to sit down with Hiroto Akihito. The current commissioner of the KPD station. We were having small talk, discussing events and everything, when all of the sudden he spoke of a person who used to be in the KPD. This obviously made me more interested, and he told me to record it. So here I present to you, the infamous Marshall Santiago.

Moa Kawa Itchina 17/09/2022 Good evening Karakura, My name is Mx Itchina and this week I have been investigating prosthetics and how they work. The aim of this is to help the readers of this article better understand where they come from, what prosthetics are out there and how to access them. I spoke with Clinical Lead Hilo Sharma to learn more about them, and have a better understanding of how they work too! Mr Sharma defines them as ‘an artificial implant or limb’. He carried on explaining how depending on the situation the hospital within the town can offer a range of prosthetics from functional limbs such as legs, to voice boxes or eyes. It’s interesting to note how the surgical team within the town is able to perform such...

Nanae Saiky 9/9/2022 Good Evening, Karakura. A dark cloud looms over the Saiky Estate this night as local elder, Junpei Saiky, passed away from a heart attack. Known as the oldest man in Karakura passing at the age of 101, which for sure is a record on its own, leaves many citizens in the town heartbroken and upset as he oddly enough was loved and enjoyed by many in the city. Junpei Saiky was born in Karakura, Japan February 16th, 1921 to Sakata and Himawari Saiky and is famously known as Karakura’s oldest citizen and even ranking as one of Karakura’s very own Police Captain back in the day. He lived to raise four children of their own; many themselves becoming important figures in Karakura such as Dean, Hospital Director and more...

28/08/22 Umeda Kame, Senior Reporter Now, we all know that there has been a mass increase in the famous Saiky family members. No matter the relation, cousin, uncle, aunt, parent, or child. Personally, I feel something odd is going on with all of this, so I took to the internet and in person to figure out what people thought was happening. To start this report off, let's see what my theory is. I believe the elders of the Saiky family have founded an organization to clone and duplicate the genes and personalities of other Saikys to keep the bloodline going. Using this, they rename and change the hair and face up a bit, and the voices. I mean, if they are cloning they definitely have the tech to make changes where changes need to be…...

So 11 years?” Kuroki | “And where did you live before you first moved...

As most of you know, Mike Akihito has stepped down from his Mayor position, giving it to Kiyoko Akai, the former Deputy Mayor.

Evening lady and gents! Kaz here to inform you about the newest happenings in Karakura! Now, if you haven’t heard Mike Akihito stepped down from his position only five months after taking office. To this day, probably the shortest time someone’s been Mayor. It brings up the question. Why? Did something happen? - Well, folks. . . I got no idea. My senior reporter will be covering that in the next few days! But luckily, Kiyoko Akai has taken his spot and his responsibilities. She already had our hearts during the election for Deputy Mayor, so we can only hope she keeps those during her time as Mayor. Earlier today, I had the luck of getting a quick interview with our lovely Mayor. One thing I can say is that she’s even kinder in...
