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.

It's icky? Why? Sure it's innacurate but that doesn't make ponies like Wigwam, Kimono and Fiesta Flair icky. They're quite unique.
I love her, I got her because I love Kimono's Townhouse. I thought her symbols were maybe ugu isu. Taffeta what do you think?
I have always wanted her because she seems like one of the 'classic' G3's to me.

She was in the lot of 40 G3's I got about 8 years ago. Still has her charm necklace.

LOL yeah he does. He's actually a Wigwam bait turned into a custom (one of my earliest): http://lonewolf3878.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Pony-Warrior-124718762
I don't think I ever saw Kimono's townhouse.
