Get the Kapono mug.The Katana is a single edged curved steel weapon, used by warriors of fuedal japan. It is made by forging and folding steel to rid it of impurities, then coating the cutting edge in clay, heating it up and quenching it to harden the cutting edge, revealing is called a temperline (Hamon). The Katana was a decorative peice of art as well as a weapon, consisting of a Tsuba (hanguard) Tuki Ito (handle wrap, usually coloured) and other intricate artistic fittings. The Katana is not superior-but amazingly strong and sharp for a small thin weapon. Under controlled test conditions, a Nihonto (japanese made katana) was able to shatter a .45ACP round without sustaining damage, and widthstood 7 direct hits from a M2 HMG (heavy machine gun)with its .50BMG armour piercing round before shattering.
The katana came into use in the 1400's, before hand the Tachi was used, a longer sword used on horseback and worn in a different manner. Before that were the straight blades, Chokuto, from China. The katana is usually worn with the cutting edge (Ha) facing upwards, thrust through an Obi (belt). On rare occasions, The Katana was worn blade down (sometimes when armour was worn). It was usually the primary weapon of a warrior or Samurai, though in wars Yari (spear) were prefered due to the damage they inflicted on Armour, along with Maai (distancing).

Get the Kadon mug.A Kamon is someone whose purest joy is derived from making others uncomfortable and surprised, yet everyone loves them. Except for people who hate being made uncomfortable or surprised. Clever, bizarre, and spontaneous, the Kamon carries with him a substantial bubble butt that he uses to push others out of his way, often in the bathroom. Sneaks up on others flawlessly...may claim they are a ninja. They probaby are. Well-versed in RPGs, the Marvel universe, and Japanese swords, they can take you down and keep you down. The Kamon, when making faces, will shock and delight you; when it smiles, you will want a hug. Has a weakness for redheads and is master of "That's what she said" jokes. Totally gross yet unbelievably attractive, the Kamon is the life of the party with their crazy antics, witty humor, ultra-creepiness, and intrisic awesomer-than-awesome-sause-ness.
Victim - "Who is humping my leg slowly and forcefully whilst complimenting my choice of socks in a whisper?"
Friend - "Oh, it's just a Kamon."
"It's hard to get away from a Kamon." (I have actually said this)

Get the katonna mug.Katana is a beautiful Japanese word for a sword. However, it is also used as a name. Katana is a beautiful girl with a big heart. She is absolutely stunning, kind, trustworthy, warm-hearted and smart! Katana acts tough on the outside as a defense mechanism used to hide her true feelings. She is also really easy to get close to very quickly. One of her best friends is named Alyssa. Katana is a really good friend and one of the best friends you’ll ever have. If you meet a girl named katana, get to know her! You won’t regret it.
