Unsigned Comment from 2007

[edit]

It's so cool! The way it was believed to ward off illnesses! Do you know any other kind of symbols or charms that is also believed to ward off diseases?

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Sagegenis (talkcontribs).

Do you mean Japanese examples, or just general ones? You might want to ask at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous for a wide range of responses. -- BrianSmithson 05:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It might be worth noting that there are many small bobble-headed cows like this in 'Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask' for the Nintendo 64. They are generally sitting on tables and shelves in the townspeople's houses/stores. The cows are black and white, however, and not red, but it may just be because there are only monochromatic cows in Zelda. Since their heads do visibly bobble, and it is a Japanese game, I can only assume that this is what they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.134.55 (talk) 22:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


It might be helpful for someone who lives in Japan to take a picture of one to add to the wiki. Does anyone know any bilingual wikipedia editors? 75.161.190.20 (talk) 08:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Akabeko in Rurouni Kenshin

[edit]

Is it worth noting that the Akabeko is the name of the shabu-shabu/sukiyaki/gyunabe restaurant in the Rurouni Kenshin manga and anime? I honestly thought it was just named 'the red cow' until I happened across this entry; it makes somewhat more sense that it would be named after a popular item.

Perhaps in a 'In Popular Culture' section? Then the above mentioned Zelda references could likewise be included?Comprehending reader (talk) 04:07, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
