To promote its upcoming brain game Nohryoku Trainer Portable 2, Sega sent out girls in miniskirts (Sega miniskirts) with PSPs chained to their necks. The game Nohryoku Trainer Portable was a big PSP hit in Japan and is not a rip-off of Nintendo's brain game as the Sega title was originally developed by Prof. Kawashima.

Joining the Sega girls in this Akihabara event was the game's mascot, the "E~tto Man." His name refers to the sound Japanese make when thinking "eto," which corresponds to the English sound "uh." So, his name is the Uh-Man. The Uh-Man wore a giant samurai brain hat and tested people's intelligence. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
