When my sister and I were watching Wonderful Precure, we saw these three and thought it'd be cute if they were also Cures in their youth.

The up-and-coming Rudopolis game is all about different factions, y'know...

昨年末に閉店した麻布十番の思い出の店「BLUE & WHITE」が、1月6日に最後1日だけ店を開けるということで、オーナーのAmyさんに会いに行ってきました。 ここは私が中学から高校生にかけて、刺し子のアルバイトをさせていただいたお店なのですが、近かったのに時間が合わず、とうとう行かれず仕舞いだったんですよね。本当に久々の再会でした！ 閉店セールではものすごい立派な竹製のベンチや大きな竹籠に1000円とか1500円の値札が！！ ほしかったし、Amyさんは「あげるから持って行っていいわよ」とさえ言ってくださったのですが……、置き場所がない！！ 泣く泣く諦めました。しかし昔だったらタクシー使ってでも持って帰ってただろうなぁ…？ 再会が嬉しすぎて当日の写真はありません。 代わりに100円で買った “おかめ” の顔付きの器を。春に蒔こうと思うオシロイバナの種を入れてます。

I drew the children :3

I tried to make it more true to the game's art, I hope you like it!

[ask-the-kabuki-kids]

(Note: The asks and dares will usually be drawn, not written. This is just for the intro.)

Fox: Hello! We're the Masked Kids of Taiko no Tatsujin! Welcome to our ask blog! My name's Fox!

Hyottoko: And I'm Hyottoko, everyone's favorite sibling! :3

Fox: Sure you are, Hyottoko. Wait, where's Okame?

Okame: *yawns* Oh, hey, guys. Are we starting?

Hyottoko: Um, yeah, like a minute ago. Get with the program!

Fox: Hyottoko, that's enough! *clears throat* anyways, let's discuss the rules!

Obviously you can ask or dare us anything, as long as it's not harmful, offensive or inappropriate.

Also, please don't spam our ask box, we may noy be able to do your dare or answer your question right away so be patient with us, ok?

Okame: Thanks for that, Fox. Now, I have written descriptions of all of us so you can get to know us better... look below the picture to see.

Fox:

• The oldest sibling

• He/him

• Can be hotheaded, but otherwise kind and looks out for his siblings

• Usually the one to start or end an arguement

Hyottoko:

• The middle sibling

• He/they

• Energetic (a little too energetic...), enjoys teasing but has good intentions

• A bit self-absorbed (Don't tell him I said that, though...)

Okame (the one writing this list)

• The youngest sibling

• He/she (I don't really care about labels...)

• Usually calm, can fall asleep at random moments. Sorry about that.

• I can be a bit naive, I'll admit that...

Okame: And that's it, hope it helps.

Hyottoko: Waaait, was was that last thing about me?

Okame: ...

Fox: Alright, let's not take up too much time. Enjoy asking us questions, user!

(Note: These characters do not belong to me. They belong to Bandai Namco and the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise. Thank you!)

Tattoo Analysis: Kanda Tsuyoshi

Kanda is gross. There, I said it. But his tattoo is beautiful, unique, and I had fun researching it.

(Tattoo Breakdown)

Tennyo (the "heavenly maiden" featured as the centerpiece of Kanda's tat) are used in Buddhist art in a similar way to angels. They herald the gods, spread the laws of Buddhism, encourage good and righteous behavior, and are often depicted playing music and scattering flowers in the wake of the gods. The Tennyo on Kanda's tattoo is stripped of all this religious subtext. Just a beautiful woman to be lusted after.

Instead of heralding a god or goddess, the tennyo is heralded by a cascade of okame masks, tumbling across his arms like disembodied heads. The okame mask is often worn for festivals. She is a lusty, comedic character, with a round, chubby face. The okame is based on a goddess who did a seductive dance as a joke to entertain the Shinto sun goddess. A funny, sexy, party girl seems fitting enough for Kanda—who is treated a bit like the comedic character in a Shakespearean tragedy who dies in Act 3 to signify that shit has gotten serious.

Several of the games' tattoos with a full border include some sort of flower. Kanda's is dotted with red maple leaves, symbolizing lovers and the passage of time. It gives a very "let the good times roll" sort of aire to both his tattoo and general attitude towards life.
