A male who, because of his Asian back ground, is probably Metro and may or may not dress like the Japanese Raver kids. (see "Fruits" magazine.)
Ronin often carries a manpurse, although he'll probably refer to it as a "European carry-all". Ronin probably has a fondness for house music, Russian girls, Strippers, Russian Strippers and Sushi.
It would be unwise to taunt someone named, "Ronin". Because of his oddball name, he was probably forced into taking Karate, Judo, or Jui-Jitsu in order to keep from getting his a$$ kicked on a bi-weekly basis. ....Actually, this is true of anyone with an unusual name.
This person is also a demon in the sack.
