...sprinkles. Consumers, especially the key youth segment, prefer splashing out on recognizable icons?an almost Pavlovian response to a society awash in symbolism. 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...

For the “Gender” field on the template (notice that the field isn’t called “Sex”), people can write in whatever they want.

...Young Il bonded over video games. She liked Warcraft; he was crazy about Masters of Magic. Together they spent hours sharing joysticks in their dorm rooms at Korea University in Seoul in the early 1990s. They married and in 1996 gave birth to Com2uS, South Korea's most successful maker of video games for mobile phones and one of the largest such firms in the world.
