Kuro Katsuo

Japan’s #1 Suicide Bomber (1943-1943)

Oh man, Kuro Katsuo used to be the biggest deal back in ‘43 after he single handedly killed 300 allied soldiers and himself. He was on the cover of almost every magazine and newspaper in Japan for a solid month and was even named Tokyo’s “Mr. Suicide Bomber”. Unfortunately, following his crowning achievement he’s said to have retired from living and is now resting all across the south pacific.

Back in the ‘80s, the provinces of the Soviet Union were almost inseparable and spent all their time together as the best of friends. But what ever happened to them?

That isn’t because you aren’t wearing those socks, it’s just because your life is slowly deteriorating in the way it was always destined to. What a relief, eh?
