Mr. Japan, hello, please tell me about Sukeban. Have you seen them, have you encountered any of them in person? Did they attack you, or did you witness their robberies and fights?
What is your opinion of their actions?
Ah yes, スケバン/助番.
I remember first seeing them in the 1970s even though they first came around in the 1960s I believe.
They are honestly very distinctive due to their long skirts; I’ve never been robbed by them however I’ve witnessed three of them shoplifting at the Itoya Stationery store in Ginza.
They became so high in number that I had to discuss with the policemen of my country on how to identify them. Some 番長 didn’t accept the sukeban into their groups and that’s what kickstarted a lot of sukeban action however in my opinion in recent times I’ve seen more sukeban than banchō.
Yap, it's really cool here! Only every other person here ends up in a shadow ban for some reason.....
Ah I see. How are you able to tell whether or not you are shadow banned if I may ask?
Salutations. I am 日本国 otherwise known as the state of Japan by my colleagues or simply Honda Kiku by those whom I am familiar with.
Many people know me for my cuisine, sumo wrestling, samurai, onsens, and anime however I wish to share my culture as well as expand my horizons on the customs of other countries through this app.
Please do feel free to send in asks; I will try my best to answer them with punctuality however if I fail I do so I apologize in advance.
Birthday: February 11th which is my national foundation day. In 660 BCE, Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne and unifying my people as one nation: Japan.
My Favorite Food: I am very fond of vegetables especially when they are pickled, fermented, and salty. I am also fond of sushi, shiozake, nimono, tsukemono to a large extent.
My Hobbies: I enjoy exercise such as walking, baseball, making preserved food, working with my hands on 2D and 3D taking care of Pochi-kun, and sunbathing. My newest hobby is challenging myself to cook dishes from every country (they will most likely be adapted in a respectful manner to suit my own personal taste).
My Companions: My beloved Shiba Inu named Pochi, my cat who is addressed as Tama, my Guinea pig named Haru, and my pet rabbit who is named Yuki.
Even my mom didn't give me that kind of advice 🙏
I'm sorry, who's "Tama"?

Apologies, Tama is my beloved feline companion.
He is rather petite however he is a voracious eater when it comes to tuna… and salmon… and all kinds of cat friendly fish.
Mr. Jap, do you like it here on Tumblr? (^.。.^)ノ
I am rather fond of Tumblr so far actually. I enjoy interacting with others as well as viewing some art. Do you enjoy Tumblr if I may ask?
Oh hi Japan how are you doing? What do you think of going to my farm this weekend? You can bring your dog
@ask-the-swiss-canivet-guy
Greetings. I am doing very well, thank you. I would be honored to go to your farm this weekend. Which day is most convenient for you? I’m sure Pochi-kun would utterly adore your goats.
Pochi and I decided to take a small walk today however Pochi had other plans… we boarded the bus and walked over to the local convenience store for sweet treats and onigiri.
Thank you. I shall be sure to attend in a timely manner… that is if Pochi-kun ever decides to get up…

Even sea bream is not delicious when eaten in loneliness.

Thank you. I told Tama-kun you complimented him and he said “mEIROWKWKR HE WAIEJSNEBEHIAWK” in response…
I don’t think that was Tama.
