I really dig Kimono! He's a boy in my herd. One of my favorite G3s.I remember when she came out some people pointed out that she has a name after a Japanese garment and a symbol of a Chinese lantern (as Japanese lanterns apparently look different), which does make her a little culturally "ummm." Like, China and Japan are not the same just because they're both Asian . . . IIRC they've historically been pretty bitter rivals.But anyway, I do like the idea of ponies with non-Western symbols and I wish there were more.
