^ I actually found out the semi-official stance on foreigners playing via VPN because a friend of mine actually contacted DMM by email after he got his first B-001 - IN ENGLISH! Broken English at that... Anyway, the funny thing is that he got a response in Japanese explaining to him what B-001 meant and how he could restore his login access (we ran it through Google Translate - I imagine staff did something similar on their end). What that email implies is that neither DMM nor Kadokawa seem to mind foreigners playing via VPN, and are even willing to help foreign users restore access. That said, we're both paying customers (I've spent about 200 bucks on this game), so that's probably why.

As for the Kancolle foreign userbase, I would be surprised if we even reach 5%. Even counting the Chinese players, the numbers wouldn't be that high. Kancolle has 1.5 million users, and judging from user numbers of the two primary English wikis, we're probably in the low thousands at most.
