Allow me to introduce myself.

[Manny_]

Hello everyone. I am from the United States. I live in the NE. I am an aspiring writer, presently working on a story with Asian females as the main characters. Two of which, are (born and raised) Japanese, so I require information about Japanese culture.

I am a mixed race person born in the US, my parents are from Jamaica. I'm about 1/8th chinese, about half black, with some white, and possibly native american in there somewhere...

I'll be happy to accept any input on my inquires. Particularly I'd like to hear from a Japanese woman to how plausible my characters sound to them.

Thanx all and have a great day,

-Manny

Welcome and yoroshiku.

Good luck with your story and be sure to post. We'll have a blast analazing your problems for you.

Ok, I will be glad to inquire. But, what would be the right topic to post my questions? They relate to the Japanese language (name of characters), Japanese culture, the martial arts, the role of women, and organized criminal activity (both have touches with the yakuza).

I'll have my questions ready along with a background of the characters

Thanx
-Manny

manny, just drill up to the top. Most probably go up in the first 2 main categories. I haven't found a need to move any threads yet so just go for it and trust your own judgment.
