You're not talking about Hideaki are you?
Spoiler :
Hideaki is a guy's name and is possibly Shizune's trap brother.

I don't lurk their forums that much anymore and I found this much out. Even comments in the Shimmie implies this.
LivingFlame wrote:The fact that they're saying all first drafts are complete coupled with the earlier release of act one make me doubt that they would have had each path writer rewrite the paths of each girl in order to fit in another character. But then, it is coming out of the minds of Anon, so who knows what they might do.


x2

I don't think it's a new character, just a side character who appears after Act 1 revealed.

Well when I said "new" I meant a character we haven't seen before. Even though it's probably a side character it's still a "new" character. Someone to stir things up a bit. And quite often in anime there are guys with girls names and girls with guys names.

And I still think it's someone from Hisao's old school. We never did see his old uniform.

Traps make me cringe. >_>

I was originally doubtful that it was a trap. Upon looking at the pic again and realizing that the person has shorts on, I'm starting to wonder, myself.
The quote lends itself quite well to such a conclusion as well.:lol:

One of my Abridging friends had a notice up that he was starting a fandub of this. I looked it up on wikipedia and, damn, is this meant to be a stealth parody?

Well, it did originate in 4chan. Are you supposed to take it as a parody?

She is strong-willed and forceful and is capable of creating craftily manipulated plans, as noted by Hisao, as well as having an extremely competitive nature, even wanting to be first to complete class assignments. This can be attributed to her favorite game, Risk.
She has serious problems with managing her life, which makes her the perfect person to ask for help to manage one's own.
He often rants about feminist conspiracy theories, claiming that women are evil and want to rule the world (these feelings are revealed to stem from him feeling tired after having intercourse with his exgirlfriend a year before the story starts),
wat

Despite being left with legs amputated below the knee, Emi is perhaps one of the most cheery, happy-go-lucky girls on the entire globe, let alone the school. Not one to be left in despair even after the accident that claimed her legs, Emi views her disability more as a blessing, her prosthetic legs having brought her to the heights of her ability on the track team rather than becoming a permanent obstacle.
Since Rin’s arms are tiny stumps due to a severe birth defect and subsequent surgery, she uses her feet and occasionally her mouth to do everything, which includes painting.
I started laughing at the first description; I fell out of my chair at the second.

It sure does sound like typical 4chan humor to me.

Actually it didn't originate from 4chan.

In fact four leaf studios aren't big on 4chan.

It actually came from the omake section in RAITA's doujin Schuppen Harnische.

It was later posted in colour, and in english on /a/. And stories ranging from tender love stories to depraved sex fantasies started popping up everywhere. Soon Four Leaf Studios was born to create this VN... you know what I'm just gonna directly quote the website

KS Website wrote:The New Year of 2007 was bound to be business as usual for the /a/ board of 4chan until on 4th of January, Anonymous posted an omake page from the doujin Schuppen Harnische by RAITA of doujin circle Zettai Shoujo, detailing character art for a dating sim he dubbed “Katawa Shoujo.” For reasons we will never know, someone's genius idea of actually realizing RAITA's idea of the game caught on like wildfire and soon suggestions ranging from tender love stories to depraved sex fantasies were running amok in the thread. The insane idea of creating an actual original game, based on nothing but a single picture and the sparse ideas RAITA had written in the margins titillated the imaginations of Anonymous so much that people became truly serious about the fledgling project.

Soon, there were development forums and for the next months, ideas and suggestions were flying around, with people trying to flesh out their ideas, drawing sample art, writing sample text, trying to control the chaos of dozens of people arguing and bickering about the direction of the game. From there, the most active people began the actual game development as a working group named Four Leaf Studios and the project truly took off in the summer '07.

Ok I just found something out.

Deltora Quest, a series of novels written by Emily Rodda who is from Australia. This series was adapted into a 65 episode anime, a manga, and a JRPG for the DS.

What this means is that there is a chance that Katawa Shoujo could be animated.

Since the Japanese have animated something written by a foreigner and published in a foreign country in a foreign language.
