Kamen Ramen chan
Added 2024-05-19 13:00:11 +0000 UTCI find it amusing with the arrival of Kamen America that American-style and Japanese-style comics are getting ever more closer. ...Maybe except that one of K-America's sidekicks calls herself "Kamen Ramen" (and oh look, she even has chopsticks up in her hair!)
This is due to the fact that "Ramen" (bowl noodles) is considered as a Chinese dish in Japan and "Kamen" (mask) in a fiction is typically a masculine character (with a few notable exceptions). And in the '80s there was a character exactly like that...Ramen-Man (above),to be more exact.
