The sig of one of my favorite originals, and soon I hope one of XWA's top Juniors, Saizo Kodanashi. The Kanji on the left of the sig are the The Virtues Of Bushido - Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honor, Loyalty. The Kanji on the right is the actual Kanji Symbols of the word Bushido. And this image here is the symbols of the word Banpufutou, which means "A Warrior who is a match for 1000 men". Samurai the likes of Tadakatsu Honda were regarded as Banpufutou, which in fact is the reason why I named Saizo finisher Tonbo-Giri, the namesake of Honda's Spear, which translates to "Butterfly Cutting Spear" Or "Butterfly Cutter", and is One of "The Three Great Spears Of Japan". (The other two being named Otigine & Nihongo)

I'm BIG into Japanese history. There's not much about the Sengoku and Edo periods of Japan I don't know. And no, it's not from playing Samurai Warriors. (Though I DO own the game, you can't be as big a nut as I am over this stuff and NOT own SW)

I bow to Kodanashi-San. I wonder if he looks anything like his FPR interpretation?

In fact, he actually came out BETTER looking in 3D. He wears a white and red robe to the ring, but his attire's gotta be the best I've ever done. Went for a new school Mitsuharu Misawa look and came up with a FLAWLESS wrestling attire.

Very nice work there Cade. I've always liked the Japanese symbols and what they meant.

I know plenty of white guys with dreads. And I agree with everyone, the sig looks kick ass, as does the caw. Best use of all 32 layers I've seen, and yes, this INCLUDES any of my works. ;D (How's THAT for an endorsement???)
