"He's a mean bastard from Okinawa..."
OKINAWA, May 8 -- A professional gaijin raconteur and sea-explorer was awarded the Sacred Order of the Rising Sun this week for preventing the certain destruction of the Tokyo Tower by Mothra. Spotting a recently hatched juvenile specimen in the waters off of Iriomote Island in the Okinawan archipelago, he acted quickly and decisively to halt its rampage towards the Motherland. "It was the least I could do after all this country has done for me over the years," he said in a speech at the acceptance ceremony. "It also went quite well with soy sauce and a little wasabi."
