Josh Barnett entrance with the Fist of the North Star theme

Josh Barnett coming to the ring with the Hokuto no Ken or Fist of the North Star theme. That was pretty cool.

[@BellowDGaming]

He did the Raoh pose on his intro this man knows his stuff

[@MrTempestSeeker]

the opponent must have been confused as fuck cause the theme of Hokuto no Ken is actually a love song

Yup. Manliest love song ever.

[@ethanpok1]

But a badass love song :)

[@pianogiovanna4854]

No. Hokuto was really popular in Japan so he was probably aware.

he's actually seen by japanese fans as Kenshiro (since his pro wrestling days), that's why he dressed blue and the screens in the back used to show some fan art of him as Kenshiro.

[@davidsmith1340]

A buddy of mine worked on the PRIDE video game many years ago, and in doing so he got to know some of the people who worked for the promotion, including folks whose job it was to handle travel and accommodations and the like for foreign fighters when they were in Japan. He claims that Barnett asked for hotel rooms situated as close to Akihabara as possible.

[@1eyeddevil929]

Anime IS cartoon. It derives from animation. Then Japan had their own style which was called Japanimation, later shortened to just Anime. Although cartoon is perceived as "for children", there are adult cartoons, too. It's like Doremon to Elfen Lied. Catering for different audiences under the same media

+Nemo7The7Pirate7 I don't see the correlation of your statement. I apologize. but as it may, no one is gonna board on on a plane with a bear, and vodka is sold internationally. So, I don't understand your correlation. Now, as far as music, I listen to Japanese music, and I'm black. I also speak Japanese. I can compete in Japan and play We Gotta Power which that is the 2nd DBZ opening theme. I feel any can play what they want to play.
