The following comes from a DualShockers interview with Senran Kagura Producer Kenichiro Takaki...

- when Takaki visited the States for E3, he was surprised and happy to meet many female fans of the franchise

- Takaki says he wants to try and make games more appealing to the female audience

- he doesn’t completely understand what female fans want, so he wants to investigate that

- Takaki wouldn’t want to start such a project until he completely understands what female fans would like

- since an April Fools joke from 2012 featuring male versions of the Senran Kagura characters, Takaki has been asked to make the idea a reality by the female members of the dev team

- the Senran Kagura dev team actually has quite a few females, with the head of promotion being a woman
