Template:Nihongo title is an upcoming video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, developed by Platinum Games in cooperation with Sega, who will publish the title.[2] Director Hideki Kamiya, creator of the critically acclaimed Ōkami and Devil May Cry series, has said that "Bayonetta will blow the doors off the action genre."[3]
Characters
The titular character, Bayonetta, is a witch who shape-shifts and uses various firearms, along with magical attacks she performs with her own hair, to dispatch her foes. In addition to possessing four handguns, she has also been pictured with shotguns, rocket launchers, a glowing whip and a two-handed katana.
A male character (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) who introduces himself as Luka (ルカ[4], the Japanese transliteration of the name Luke) was shown in the TGS 2008 trailer, though his role in the game is currently unknown.

Game Informer reports that developer Hideki Kamiya is a fan of folk music and named four of Bayonetta's weapons parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme after the old English ballad, 'Scarborough Fair'."[5]
