This thread is for some of the terms that I sometimes use in RP, or that others may use in RP that the rest of us may be unfamiliar with.

Bushido The way of the warrior. A samurai's code of honor.

Daisho A pair of swords carried by a warrior. The larger being a katana, and the smaller being a wakizashi.

Kabuto A helmet.

Kami A spirit, god, or divine force.

Kitsune Fox, or fox-demon.

Katana A large sword, the equivalent of a European longsword.

Wakizashi A shorter sword, the equivalent of a European short sword.

Tanto An Eastern dagger-length blade.

Kunai Small knife commonly used by ninja for throwing (Naruto). In real life it is a gardening tool that undercover ninja used because it was easy to conceal and a good part of a disguise.

No-dachi A large katana, the Eastern equivalent of a greatsword.

Oni Demon. A kind of kami bent on destruction.

Orochi Serpent or snake.

Kabuki is a type of Japanese theater. The word can also be used to describe the masks used in Kabuki.
Isnt Shottogan just Shottgun in a Japanese accent, like Dainamique Marukingue in Naruto?
