If you're female, and you have a problem, you would go to a (quite fictional) message board in Shinjuku station and write your problem and sign it XYZ, and City Hunter would find you.
Dragonballs only exist as toys here.

Its clear that sarcasm doesn't exist either..
You mean these ones?  I have a set  Ebay.On topic: people think they can escape to japan because they love their anime or whatever and get bullied for it, they have the narrow minded idea that everyone in japan likes Naruto and thinks that they will be "accepted" in neverland.. IMO.

The first and foremost reason I came to Japan is both simple and not so simple...
I wanted out of my house, away from the horrific life my mother was dragging all of us into, as soon as possible. But that isn`t why I went to Japan - I figured the best and fastest way to achieve independence would be to get a degree and a good job. Back when I started university, at 16, I took a short Japanese class... And thought it was the easiest thing ever. At the same time, I noticed that most people didn`t find it easy at all. As the university would let you test up and out of classes, I saw the Japanese language as a shortcut to a degree... And being as there was no way I`d ever be able to afford a degree the normal route it seemed like a much much better deal to sell everything, make a trip to Japan, learn as much as I could, then come back and test out of a chunk of classes. My initial aim was an Asian languages degree - Japanese first, then Korean, then possibly work on Chinese. Asian languages were not popular back then, so it would have put me in a great position to get a good job. Once in Japan though, I found it wonderful, and the sort of life I had always dreamed of seemed literally at the tip of my fingers. And then, to add to that, I fell in love and got married. And it all literally fell into my lap.

I do know a Sensei (Yamaguchi Sensei) who teaches an ancient art. He live in Saitama and take the train (sorry, he doesn't run across roofs of building leaping from one to another) to Ueno everyday to teach at a dojo. I've never seen him up against a tiger... but he did tell me once that there is no winning against a tiger unless you have a gun. BTW, that dragon ball thing is cool... I use to be a big fan of the series (But i never thought that "With enough training, I can be Goku too), I think its a good collectors item (Sorry kids, these are just props, I am afraid there isn't going to be a dragon coming out granting you a wish)...
