   Well as I said the culture notes explain that Sue is playing as   
   'Terryman' a US Chojin and Ohno as 'Kinnukuman' the star  of the   
   anime and manga series, "Kinnukuman" from the 1970s and 1980s.   
   Toys were imported to the US briefly but I used to see "Ultimate   
   Muscle" on a kids TV cartoon time on weekends after turn of the   
   century.  Ohno uses the Kinnukuman character(meat) on her forehead.  Sue   
   sports the Cowboy hat and ever present hamburger of Terryman.   
      
   Later on Sue uses the Evil face of Asuraman who has 3 faces and   
   6 arms all of these are part of the same story, roughly a parody   
   of professional wrestling.  The wrestlers are all super men aka   
   chojin drawn from all over the inhabited worlds.  I saw it because   
   I had nothing better to do but I did not hold it in high esteem.
