Robert (Bob) 'The Beast' Malcolm Sapp's got his fists bunched under his chin and is reeling from Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic, peering over gloves at his opponent's open stance and red and white chessboard pants. The man The Beast is an American kickboxer, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and former world champion professional wrestler and professional American Football player' and, wait for it, has 'released a music CD entitled "It's Sapp Time".'

There's more of them. A dozen or so listed on Wikipedia (where else?!)

Dave Spector, writer, TV personality, wearing a lead grey suit and a broad grin, looking not exactly at the camera but still smarting from an article about him entitled 'The Incredible Inflating Man', probably. Thane Camus, grand-nephew of philosopher Albert Camus, who ' quizzes Japanese people on English and foreigners on Japanese' on TV. Bobby Ologun who is famed for making fist-in-mouth gaffs. Kent Derricott, about whom those Wiki-geeks seem to have found nothing more interesting to say than 'He is approximately 180 centimeters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.' Maybe his picture speaks for itself.

Really, it's all there- I'm just transferring, siphoning this. But Wiki lets me down when it comes to our man Daniel Kahl, home-spun Yamagata hero who's slapped a shadow of himself on any foreign somebody in this place brave enough to try and integrate themself. For him, you've to look elsewhere, apple-bob in a Google shaped ocean.

..And these are the guys who have made it?! The foreigners who have become a success here? What the hell is stopping me?! Lay down the red carpet and shower me in blossom, I'll flog my identity to steal into that limelight!
