Sorry for nit-picking ... "yama-arashi" means porcupine, while "hari-nezumi" 
means "hedghehog".

Another famous "yama-arashi" is a judo-technique created by SAIGOU Shirou.

Ahem. please insert "u" between "o" and "j" to make the word "shoujo".

"shojo": virgin girl
"shoujo": girl

This confusion might be caused by the roman-spelling that _allows_ both
"shojo" and "shoujo" to be pronounced as "sho-u-jo".

He's not as tall as lovely-boys-in-classic-shoujo-manga whose legs were
almost 1.2m  ( while their height was 1.7m )...
