Crispian Mills
Crispian Mills (born 18 January 1973 as Crispian John David Boulting; spiritual name Krishna Kanta Das) is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist, and film director. Active since 1988, Mills is best known as the frontman of the psychedelic indie rock band Kula Shaker. Following the band's break-up in 1999, he remained with Columbia Records (a subsidiary of Sony BMG), and toured with a set of session musicians (including a support slot for Robbie Williams) under the name Pi, although no official studio recordings were released in full. After the label rejected the Pi album, Mills disappeared for a short time, returning in 2002 as frontman and lead guitarist for back-to-basics rock outfit The Jeevas, who disbanded in 2005 to make way for a reformed Kula Shaker, who released their third album "Strangefolk" in 2007. 2010 he released the album Pilgrims Progress with Kula Shaker. In 2017 the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their album K with the release of the new record K 2.0. Mills joined the band for a sold-out UK tour to celebrate the anniversary.

"IGN" found Kula to be one of the most appealing characters in "The King of Fighters 2000" though the reviewer felt newcomer Lin might be superior. In another article, the same site liked the fact Kula was as a regular playable character unlike the original version, but felt she was still overshadowed by Lin. In a later review, "IGN" lamented the lack of Geese Howard but believed both Kula and K' could fill the gap. Originally "inexplicably" absent from "The King of Fighters XII", "Eurogamer" and other publications enjoyed return in following titles of "familiar faces" alongside Maxima and K'. 4thLetter enjoyed the contrast between K's characterization from that of his teammates, Maxima and Kula, noting that the team's ending from "XIII" had him enjoying his vacation by beating up unknown enemies. PlayStation Universe said fans should look forward to Kula and K' in "The King of Fighters XIV" as their game styles would appeal to gamers. In a review for "", "GameSpot" felt Kula and Billy Kane were two of the best new characters calling Kula a "frost-throwing hipstress". GameZone enjoyed her fighting mechanics comparing her style to "athletes participating in the acclaimed Olympic event" enjoying SNK's execution of the character despite the reviewer's dislike of the concept. Siliconera found her fighting style in "SNK Heroines" to be ridiculous due to the use of "cups of what appears to be sorbet".
