departed_child_of_godsSo Tojiko has a tendency to throw around Prince Shoutoku's name like it was going out of fashion. For most people -- non-Japanese, or alternate dimensions or something -- this isn't really going to ring any bells. But for anybody born later than the year 900 or so that is Japanese, well...
He's kind of a big deal in Japanese history. Major Buddhist figure, leader of Japan, winner of the religious wars, etc. etc. etc.
Anyway, this isn't going to be relevant for most folks, but for those who would probably know about him, now you know! And are really confused to find out Prince Shoutoku is female. Blame the beer-loving guy whose entire character cast is girls in cute frilly dresses for that.
