Not sure why you think the Canon EOS M has anything to do with K-01..... It does not.
EOS M is your traditional mirrorless system, and while K-01 is "DSLR - mirror - prism" system.
At any rate, current Pentax cameras are not selling well in Japan, even the newly released K-30 failed to excite the buyers.
And K-01 is doing much worse; it does not even make it into the top 100 cameras in BCNRanking sales chart in Japan, and that's pretty sad as a camera only 5 months old.
