What's weird about kakuro is that I've been doing these for years in American puzzle magazines under the name cross sums. I belief the puzzle was invented here, gained popularity in Japan and has now bounced back here with a Japanese name as something new and exciting.
I much prefer these over Sudoku (which I find boring; not necessarily easy, but boring) it is just weird to have people (who know I like doing puzzles) ask if I've seen the new thing out of Japan.
If Dell isn't making much money off this explosion they must be pissed because I believe they were the first to publish the format (don't know who originally developed it).
