Toro and Kuro are feline Sony mascots that are popular in Japan. Naturally, the duo be making exclusive appearances alongside Ryu, Kazuya, and the rest of the gang in the PS3 and Vita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken. This video shows creator Yoshinori Ono as he demonstrates the cats in action alongside two life-sized versions of the kitties.

Based off the moves shown, it looks like Toro has been taking notes based on Capcom fighters and Kuro is more of a Tekken guy. Kudos to the two playing the game for not decapitating the hyperactive mascots as they obscured the screen. Talk about herding cats, am I right? It seems like Ono didn't mind too much, however, what with the bit of furry love at the end.
