One of the most interesting parts of reaching one's thirties is seeing how impermanent, flexible, and downright unexpected someone's career path can end up being. Such is the case with Motoi Okamoto.
Square Enix's upcoming Vita game puts players in command of a dethroned King of Hell who's commanding a 100-goblin attack squad to get his crown back.

In the first of a series of live-action videos promoting Square Enix's PlayStation Vita launch game, Army Corps of Hell, the lord of hell takes a bus to Hell, Michigan. Honest mistake, really.
