Yukio's pigeon-toed judo stance is puzzling.

Well, the floor mats in my Toyota are all over the place and it never caused me a problem, but then, it's not a Lexus. Toyota should have installed these gas pedals/floor mat sets in their F1 cars. They might then have won something.

It does look a bit odd. Hope he gave the emperor a firm hand shake. I hate to squeeze a tissue. And actually the emperor also wanted to bow, but due to evolution (emperors haven't bowed for thousands of years) their spines have fused. He can only move his head…
