SciFi and Fantasy Art Kamikaze-defeated? by Chris M. Rubenstahl

My favorite character ever. Kamikaze was my Street Samurai in the Shadowrun roleplaying game. Tough as nails, he was a cop whose family was slaughtered when he got too close to a corporate case. Left for dead, he managed to survive and seek revenge (I know, I know.... a lot like Robocop... so sue me!) Anyways, in this picture, his cyberarm has just been blown off, and he is attempting field repairs....

11 Dec 1998	The artist	Loading... Whoops... I forgot... it's not a priest, but a religious statue in the background there... I had just read a comic (I think it was an issue of X-Men) where the image of a really messed-up character (probably Wolverine) was sort of "watched over" by a statue of this type, so it found its way here...
20 Dec 1998	Brian Keith Cooke	Loading... Aaaahhh, I see...That's a pretty neat concept (wherever it came from ). And it looks like he needs all the help he can get!
31 Oct 1999	Beverly Houston	Loading... THings ain't looking so good for ol' Kami...
27 Aug 2000	The artist	Loading... grins Shadowrun is my favorite game, period, bar none. You oughta check out the new edition of it... they've really tightened things up, both in rules and in game "history".
27 Aug 2000	Anon.	Loading... DUDE!!!! Finally, someone else who knows Shadowrun! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've had the dardest damn time finding people who even game period, much less those who want to play Shadowrun. too bad I've never played Street Sammies, or I'd have some witty comment about how Sammies are the best characters in the universe. Oh well. By the way, great pic
31 Mar 2001	Marcus	Loading... Did anyone here know that "kamikaze" means "the divine wind"???? Mail me if u want to know whay it's called that
5 Apr 2001	The artist	Loading... Actually, yeah... I took a year of Japanese in high school, and one of the movies we watched was Tora Tora Tora, about the Pearl Harbor attack. The kamikaze pilots believed that they channeled the "divine wind" (a tsunami) that had driven off Chinese attackers a thousand years before.
6 Feb 2002	Anonymous	Loading... Defeated? He doesn't know the word!!! Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks for the vote of confidence!"
7 Jun 2002	D&D gamer	Loading... Luckilly, C-3P0's joints are designed to disengage rather than break, so lost limbs are easily re-attached Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Yeah, but unfortunately, most Shadowrun cyberarms aren't designed for that."
29 Jan 2006	Spade	Loading... Chinese? It had been the mongols, that's a BIG difference. "Kami no kaze" would be the correct term, by the way. Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Actually, no. Joe Brennan (aka Kamikaze) was a transplanted New Yorker and former pro football player in my old Shadowrun game. The name 'Kamikaze' came simply because, as a shadowrunner, he took near-suicidal risks quite often. "
