M.A. in Asian studies with a focus on Japanese History

Lmao did he even put any thought into this lie? Bruh why would a Japanese university offer this area of studies under Asian Studies instead of the much more obvious umbrella of Japanese History?

Yeah man, I have a Masters in Western Studies from the University of Oxford with a specialization in English history.

Get the fuck outa here with that bullshit.

Edit: Japanese people are calling out his obviously machine translated Japanese.

A friend of mine got a degree in Asian Studies with a focus on Japan. When she actually went there and talked to random Japanese people about how she did Asian studies the Japanese people would often ask her "Oh, so you really like Thailand or something?"

Kenji Yamamoto with the handle "Samurai_KenjiYa" might as well be John Doe "Cowboy_JohnD".

Howdy Y'all, my name is Kenichi Smith!

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)

I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the Midwestern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in America!

Yeah the guy who was personal bodyguard to Oda Nobunaga and was allowed to carry swords when it was illegal for anyone to carry swords except for samurai or royalty, that guy wasn't a samurai. Ok.

"He was a retainer." Yeah, a ton of samurai were.

Ken Bone would never lie about his race. Or his sexual preferences. In fact, he'd post about it extensively and then do an AMA with the same account.

He kinda reminds me of the Emperor of Japan

I don’t know why, but the image of a high class Japanese academic from a prestigious university tagging Elon Musk, a man child streamer who lives in squalor, and a man child youtuber who looks like a soyjak, is so fucking funny to me
