Zenmai Zamurai! (* ^ - ^)

23 February, 2009 Posted by: chocoholic

This is one of my fav Japanese cartoon characters, Zenmai Zamurai (windup samurai) which is aired on NHK. According to the story, he died and is brought back alive but the hitch is that it is with a windup key on his head. If he comnpletely unwinds then he dies again. (yuck, if you ask me...) He lives in Zenmai village and is a hero that fights evil with his dango sword. (His dango is three different colored balls of rice dumplings on a skewer) The balls fly off his sword and pop into the mouth of the bad guys and they start thinking nice thoughts and stop their evil ways. Then, a rainbow appears and the key on his head is wound up again to prolong his life. My little toy has him wiping down the floor. But look at him in action on our video cleaning the floor of the fish tank. I wonder if the fish will give him a tip :-P
