Been there, saw the statue. It's maybe 2.5 feet tall, and was kinda covered with a few inches of grime and soot. A rabid non-ritilinated elementary school kid could knock the damn thing over. Very disappointing, as I was expecting this monsterous gyoza statue that I could climb atop of while gobbling down garlic loaded gyoza after gyoza.

LOL...a very clear and colorful description! Thanks for sharing

[2triky]

Yeah, the statue is outside the station.

Thanks for chiming in.

Utsunomiya I assume is the capital city of bad breath.

Less talk, more pics.

Gyoza statue in Utsunomiya...has anybody ever been to this city? I hear it's the gyoza mecca of Japan....they even have a gyoza matsuri apparently.

I lived in the town next to Utsunomiya for 3 years. The statue is, as Iraira mentioned, not all that interesting or well done.

The whole "city of gyouza" thing isn't really that big a deal either. The vast majority of gyouza restaurants there weren't any better or worse than anyplace else I've had them in the country, in fact most places taste almost identical.

The best gyouza I had in Utsunomiya were at a Chinese restaurant that I can't recall the name of at the moment. The owner was a winner on the iron chef TV show though.

The interesting thing for gyouza in Utsunomiya is that there are a few restaurants that sell a wide variety of gyouza, from fairly standard chinese pork and leek gyouza, to bell pepper and beef, to natto and chocolate (both separate and together).

I tried to translate パンツ熟練者　in infoseek and I got the answer Underpants Expert. I am not sure they mean expert in doing what (taking off, puting on etc.) Another underpants expert related thread http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forums/showthread.php?p=166772#post166772

For anyone who doesn't know this little wanna-be yakuza turd, recently arrested under suspicion of being the ring leader of a group stealing metal from construction sites and 21 year old father of 2, is the younger brother of Goto Maki from Morning Musume:

This might be old news for some but it's so funny I'd thought I'd share it here...a segment of Gaki no Tsukai, "Silent Library"

I believe she is actually an ethnic Korean born in Japan. She starred in Moto Kare, Koukou Kouyoshi '03, and even had a small part in the TV show Densha Otoko, among other things.

It don't matter. She's a good looking girl.

She is, but she's still a citizen of Japan and therefore a legal "nihonjin"

That photo was taken in Roppongi's TSK building. Kyushu gangster with some well-known mob-connected figures.

Takechan, is that the Kamedas hanging out with yakuza? Dumb question I suppose, but I thought the Kamedas were more yak wannabes. Looks like they might be friends with Yaks.
Or maybe it was just a photo opportunity for both parties?

Not only Kameda's match but also all champion matches have managed by YKZ in Japan. Pro wrestling is too. Agata Mitsunori who are Oyabun of Hino-Ikka (Sumiyoshi-kai affiriate which shima is Tachikawa, Akishima, Fussa, Hino in Tokyo) and a president of [url=http://www.syukou.com/]大] (one of Sumiyoshi-kai's Uyoku). Hanabusa Goro (Yamaguchi-gumi's head exective) had managed Tatsuyoshi Joichiro's champion matchs. Ex-champion Jiro Watanabe is an executive of Kyokushin-rengo-kai (Yamaguchi-gumi affiriate). After being retired, most of boxer is invited to YKZ.

My wife had a school friend whose father was a yak(now he's deceased) and they sometimes got to go to matches(she said pro wrestling). They were asked to give flowers to the fighters(or wrestlers).

The friend's family ran an umi-no-ie at Kujikuri Beach.

I also used to teach three sons from a (very likely yak) family that ran another umi-no-ie. The mother managed the beach place and the father ran a kick boxing gym.

There seems to be some connection with the Boso area in Chiba and Black Emperor. But perhaps, they are just everywhere.

Sorry, not such an exciting story.

Kool! That's a photo of "Piss Boy" at Tamachi Station. A neighborhood association of obaachan/ladies have been lovingly dressing up the boy for the seasons for at least the past 40 years.

I'd really like some context for that pic.
