I'm new to this forum and I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, God Hand) I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100% When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer! I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Anyone have some tips so I can fully experience the japanese lifestyle? Wish me luck in Japan!

Er, welcome new GS user! I have had the priviledge of going to Japan and I am sure that you will be most happy there! Everything about their culture is better than the backward, barbaric ways of the Americas! You will witness this for yourself, first-hand one day... but that username... I'm just not sure what to make of that...

Like some sort of noodle dish? Yeah, yeah. Maybe even drizzle some sort of tangy sauce on it.
Funny stuff. Too bad the topic creator won't post more, if he was truly a clever troll, he'd be able to respond and not just copy and paste a first post.
Your extensive knowledge of Anime and ability to write Japanese words using the Roman Alphabet will probably make you of a higher class then most people in Japan. It would probably be more inspiring for you to speak to Americans and educate them on the Japanese culture so that we could understand exactly how they do things and why they do it. Once you arrive in Japan im sure you could always choose to impress a Japanese swordmaster using your Katana skills at a local park while they are running errands, if you were to slice a piece of bamboo or something while they happened to be passing by you. Once he responds to you, you can simply respond with a "Gomenasai" and he will more than likely help you further your training. If you watched Karate Kid then I'm sure you know that Japanese Adults are very fond of American Youth and have an aspiration for helping them find their dreams.
