Makes me Happy

I've never had a fondness for pro wrestling. When I was a kid I'd have to leave if it was on. Only reruns of Hee Haw could get me out of the room faster. But the other day I caught something on TV that made me rethink my snobby ways.

And that was an eye opening show that contained this lovely fellow here, Tea Fighting Kateking. Notice the tea leaf on his forehead with the characters for tea written on it.



He was with his buddy, Orange Fighter Jutaro.




They were going around to local elementary schools and making sure the children ate their mikan oranges and drank their green tea. Oh, and at one point their good pal Fish Figher Hiraking showed up.

He often struck this pose.


Here they are all together.


(I'm a little worried about Orange Fighter. It looks like he's about to heave.)

So, when the three of them (and their buddies) aren't helping promote Numazu City's signature products, tea, mikan oranges and dried fish respectively, they are beating the living crap out of their neighbors in Fujimiya City.

On that team we have the always dazzling El Trout the Rainbow. I couldn't find a real picture of him anywhere so you'll have to settle for this one.



It makes me happy.
