Black Kanji Pins and Buttons
Description: The oldest use of the color black in Japanese culture was tattoos. In ancient times, Japanese people would be tattooed, especially fishermen, who would get tattooed wide birds or fishes to protect themselves from evil. Kuro sumi is the name of the ink used in Japanese tattoos and artistry.
Description: Akuma wears a symbol on his back, this symbol comes from the Japanese kanji meaning, 'ten'. The symbol itself comes from the Chinese language, and it was later adapted by the Japanese. It means several things as Japanese words often do, including: 'day', 'sky', 'heaven', 'beyond human', 'invincible', 'more than man' and 'ten'. It is synonymous with 'Immortal'. It basically means what Capcom has always conveyed, that Akuma is no longer human. In folklore, whenever the character 'ten' appears on a person's forehead, it means that that person is immortal. Capcom, for clarities sake, placed the symbol on the back of his gai.
