Why Fruit Punch Samurai?

I call myself the Fruit Punch Samurai, The question has been posed once and I'm going to answer straight off. In searching for a creative name that would suit the nature of this blog that I would call “Revolutionize This” I tried to choose an interesting character that was doing what I do; spurning and reacting to the changes in his or her Society. I, an adamant lover of Japanese historical figures and historical fiction, couldn’t help but be drawn to watch the Japanese anime by Hideaki Sorachi called “Gintama”. The first character I felt intimately drawn to is Kotaro Katsura, an farcical portrayal of Kido Takayoshi alias Kogoro Katsura. This brings me to the point of why I chose Fruit Punch Samurai as my Blog name. Kotaro is a character in Gintama who is dealing with serious change, and he learns that to understand these changes he, himself, had to change. With this he became a great revolutionary and is known as one of Meiji Japan’s triumvirate of great founders to their modern government. “This is a site for people to voice their deepest convictions!” said he as the Fruit Punch Samurai. So I’ll honor the name as the Fruit Punch Samurai and raise my sword and mind for the good of my countrymen so that greater understanding and change can lead us in a better direction.

This site examines the many changes that are happening all around the world and not just political changes, but social, linguistic, artistic, philosophical, different cultures, and most importantly; changes in conviction. I hope to be able to cover a wide spectrum of happenings but I would like some feedback if possible and whenever anything feels left out. I’ll do my best to cover as much as possible.
