Today i went into a anime shop in the china district (3 hours to get too but i was so hoping for kinnikuman)
i walk into a shop called "Anime Etc" and under that it said "we speak english or japanese only"

So i was like great finally i can get kinnikuman generation one tapes.
or at least order them.

Walk in walk around i see macross, ultraman , vampire princess muyo,
dark stalkers , transformers, dance dacne revolution(games and musci cd's)

i was like well i better ask since i can find it
the owner has never heard of kinnikuman ever in his lifetime
i explained it to him and he has never seen or heard of anything
from japan that has any of the characters.
I told him character names and even brought my Foxbox cd in with Kinnikuman's son on it . No response

I ask him if their was any other store and he was like try internet

is their another name i'm forgetting?
i tried all these names to ring a bell with him
-kinikuman
-kinnikuman (wrote these 2 down on paper for him to read)
-warsman
-robin mask
-terry man
-Niku
&
-buffaloman
i also tried ultimate muscle come to think of it.

so this leave me to say this
does anyone know a import store that sells kinnikuman in the Florida area
or can someone find out to help me search for any kinnikuman generation1

I would greatly be in dept to ya

Sure that guy was Japanese? For example, I have seen Chinese, Korean, and Mexicans working at Japanese restaurants. Just a theory, cause my wife is Japanese, and I'll be damned if not every single one of her friends weren't extatic when they saw my stuff. Even Japanese strangers that we had stay at our house flipped (by the way I told them to send me some crap for my hospitality, they agreed, but they will not be back in Japan for awhile. To answer your question I do not know anything whatsoever about Florida except I heard it was hot and humid. Talking about toy hunting, my wife and I are planning a trip to San Francisco and one of our planned stops was "Little Tokyo" she has her lists, I have mine, I will report if I find anything cool.

I can not be certain where he's from i didn't ask , but still you would figure a guy with a import anime store would of heard of something this big since it's been around in 1982

he will probably be hearing it alot after the 14th and people find out it has a lot of history in Japan.

Did you tell him to watch the saturday morning cartoons on the 14th?
