in Japanese that cleverly works out to represent "Kinniku day." The
"Kin" in Kinyoubi (Friday), coupled with the "ni" ( 2) and "ku" (9) of
the 29th end up forming Kin-ni-ku.

Special thanks to Kyosuke Okada aka Duke for providing me with these images!!! Duke and his company TRiCEP came up with these killer Kinnikuman day poster designs, and I cannot say enough good things about them.
These posters look amazing! I completely dig the solid colors choices applied over the Yudetamago Choujin drawings, and must figure out a way to get a few of these bad boys for the Nama Niku art gallery ~ 肉
The 6th official Kinnikuman Day takes place this month on Friday the 29th in Harajuku, Japan. Friday the 29th is a bit of a word play in Japanese that cleverly works out to represent Kinniku day... The "kin" in kinyoubi/Friday, coupled with the "ni/2" and "ku/9," of the 29th = Kin-ni-ku ~
The theme this time around is "Burning Inner Strength." The message for Kinnikuman fans on this day is to look within to find the strength and courage needed to rebuild Japan and help the victims of the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami.
