I thought at first it was Bridgestone, but after further investigation the logos don't quite match.

And I found a catalog selling this protector for 55650 yen, which right now is just about $600. It's over twice the cost (in the same catalog) of a WV Platinum.

??

With these catalog pictures, does it strike you that it is Carlucci-like in design (no, I'm not suggesting in quality or fit! Copy cat maybe?) with a plate of some sort over their closed cell protector?

The translation seems to say they will put your name on for free...

Tak's CP was custom made specifically for him.

The poster who said he was a funny guy is spot on. The first time I met him he greeted me with a slight head bow and "Takeshi Hirabayashi...sorry about Pearl Harbor."

I believe he's about 42. He can speak English fairly well, but he frequently enjoys playing to some people's uneducated assumptions and will speak like a 1950's "Hollywood" caricature.
