Hah, funny. I'm reading this post wearing my Tanuki shirt just as I got back from the gym riding my motorcycle.
I came across a nice Shrine with Tanuki on 初詣 last year just off the busy streets of Akihabara when I visited. Tanukis are interesting creatures, aren't they?
Nice! Just checked out your intro and saw your interest in 柔術. I moved to Japan 15 years ago to pursue martial arts after training in Canada. Kyokushin style karate, kickboxing and 柔術. I am a super fan of MMA and if you are too, it would be nice to have a friend on here that not only watches but trains as well! I would guess that you might be excited for Brian Ortega's recent win and upcoming title shot? Followed.
