Fuu Hououji
The list of characters from the ''Magic Knight Rayearth'' anime and manga series by CLAMP. (Note: many characters' names are either taken from or related to cars). Main characters Hikaru Shidou is an eighth-grader with bright red eyes and scarlet hair, who is small for her age and often teased for her boyishness. She helps her parents and her three older brothers (Masaru, Satoru and Kakeru) to run a school for Kendo. She is headstrong and determined, and in many ways very childish, but she is fiercely loyal to her friends. In particular, she wants to save Cephiro in the first arc in order to return home to her dog, Hikari, her precious childhood friend. She uses fire-based spells, such as ''Arrow of Fire'' (Honoo no Ya) and ''Crimson Lightning''. Hikaru is very popular with fans, especially with boys, because of her sometimes childish behavior; for example, in the manga, where Fuu is "asking" Ferio to help them, Umi catches on to what she's doing, but Hikaru has no idea what' ...

Manjū
is a traditional Japanese confection. Of the many varieties of manjū, most have an outside made from flour, rice powder, kudzu, and buckwheat, and a filling of ''anko'' ( red bean paste), usually made from boiled adzuki beans and sugar. ''Manjū'' is sometimes made with other fillings such as chestnut jam. In Hawaii, one can find Okinawan ''manjū ''that are made with a filling of purple sweet potato, butter, milk, sugar, and salt, but the most common filling is bean paste, of which the several varieties include ''koshian'', ''tsubuan'', and ''tsubushian''. History Manju is a traditional Japanese flour-based pastry (instead of rice-based like mochi). It originated in China under the name ''mantou'' in Chinese, but became known as ''manjū'' when it came to Japan. In 1341, a Japanese envoy who came back from China brought back ''mantou'' with him and started to sell it as ''nara-manjū''. This was said to be the origin of Japanese ''manjū''. Since then, it has been eaten fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carbunclo
Carbuncle (Spanish: ''Carbunclo'', ''Carbunco'' or ''Carbúnculo'') is a legendary species of small animal in South American folklore, specifically in the mining folklore of northern Chile. The animal is said to contain riches of some sort; in some versions it is a precious stone that gives fortune and good luck to its owner. The description of the animal vary. The chaplain and explorer Martín del Barco Centenera describes it in '' La Argentina'' (1602) as "a smallish animal, with a shining mirror on its head, like a glowing coal". As explained in the ''Book of Imaginary Beings'' Barco Centenera "underwent many hardships hunting the reaches of Paraguayan rivers and jungles for the elusive creature; he never found it." In the same book, the mirror in the carbuncle's head is said to be akin to two lights observed by Spanish explorers in the Strait of Magellan. Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés identified these lights with the gemstones hidden in the brains of dragons. The assoc ...

Rabbit
Rabbits, also known as bunnies or bunny rabbits, are small mammals in the family Leporidae (which also contains the hares) of the order Lagomorpha (which also contains the pikas). ''Oryctolagus cuniculus'' includes the European rabbit species and its descendants, the world's 305 breeds of domestic rabbit. ''Sylvilagus'' includes 13 wild rabbit species, among them the seven types of cottontail. The European rabbit, which has been introduced on every continent except Antarctica, is familiar throughout the world as a wild prey animal and as a domesticated form of livestock and pet. With its widespread effect on ecologies and cultures, the rabbit is, in many areas of the world, a part of daily life—as food, clothing, a companion, and a source of artistic inspiration. Although once considered rodents, lagomorphs like rabbits have been discovered to have diverged separately and earlier than their rodent cousins and have a number of traits rodents lack, like two extra incis ...

Autozam Clef
The Autozam Clef is a mid-size sedan that was sold by Autozam from 1992 until 1994. It shared Mazda's GE platform with cars like the ɛ̃fini MS-6 and Mazda MX-6 coupe. The word "clef" is a musical notation, and Mazda chose it to signify that the Clef was meant to serve as a reference point by which other Autozam products would become to be known or regarded as. The Clef was mechanically related to the Mazda Cronos, but featured different bodywork, and rear side window designs. The Clef had the same width dimensions as the Mazda Cronos which shared the 2.5 L V6 engine. The width, length, and engine displacement dimensions have particular significance in Japan, due to dimension regulations, where Japanese consumers pay an additional annual tax for larger vehicles, and also had implications as to how much the annual road tax obligation will be. As the Clef was the top level sedan at Autozam, which was introduced as a retailer of entry level products to Japanese consumers, the ...
