Mix 'em and match 'em! 51 Japanese Characters!

by Chris MaGee

Here's something that fans of Japanese pop culture will probably appreciate. Jean Snow has posted a link to a really fun website called "51 Japanese Characters". Created by Peter Machat, a German foreign exchange student who studied in Japan, it features... well... 51 Japanese different characters. Kabuki actors, otaku, yamanba and yakuza are all represented in a kawaii doll-like style. On top of being able to purchase posters and postcards of the characters Machat has also set up a mix and match game on the site that allows visitors to create over 100,000 random combinations from the 51 characters.
