Weird client ID. Anyone else ever seen something like this?

I couldn't think of who I could ask about this, so I figured I'd ask here since it's sort of a uTorrent-related qustion. I assume this client must be Transmission by the version number, but Kawana Shiori, as far as I know, is the name of a Japanese idol...not a BitTorrent client.

It's a Chinese peer and I was using uTorrent 1.8.5 at the time. I think this would be the first time I've ever seen someone edit the client ID just for novelty's sake. It's like a vanity license plate!

Heh, I've never understood why people try to spoof their client on public trackers though. The only point in it that I can see is messing with other peers' heads, which obviously this guy succeeded in doing!

Thanks for the quick response. I was confused there since I didn't see the [FAKE] prefix or the BitSpirit prefix like usually appear in the peerlist for spoofed client IDs.
