No surprise then, that one of the details that Takizawa is most proud of in his collaboration with Champion is the way he reinterpreted the sweatshirt maker's embroidered "C" monogram into a tricolor abstraction. Shoemaker Mihara, too, stamped his sneakers with a cartoon rendition of Puma's feline logo on the soles?an anim?-inspired touch that has won plaudits in Japanese fashion magazines...

These live-action cartoon heroes--icons for the all important 14-to-14 1/2-year-old male demographic--come in many varieties: animal (Wolverine in X2), vegetable (the giant broccoli that is the Hulk) and mineral (Ahnold in T3).
