Realistically, if you don't have a trademark, you don't exactly have much of a legal leg to stand on. However, you might want to contact his sponsor (TCG) and mention that he is going this to attempt to steal traffic looking for Kat Vixen,and see what they think.

You might get much more satisfaction out of removing the guy's money rather than chasing him around with a lawyer stick, especially considering you would have to find a lawyer in HIS jurisdiction to really get anything done.

You might also want to take the steps to get the name Kat Vixen registered in some manner so that you have an actual legal stick to use next time this comes up.

There are groups of people out there using .info domains in the same manner for almost every site on the net, your situation is not unique. I report anywhere from 10 to 50 pages per week to Google for the same sort of offence.
