Japanese women who dig samurai men

by Emily Co on September 2, 2009

In a country where quirky subcultures are a dime a dozen, hearing about the emerging group of women who dig samurai warriors does not really surprise me. They are called rekijo or female history buffs. These women are attracted to the hunky samurais in the comics they read or in computer games, and start becoming history geeks  because of their crushes on the military commander characters. Some of them even use the crest of their samurai as the backdrop for their cell phone. Check out the video to see more on the samurai-smitten women.
