Okay, straight up, Kabukimono Girls would have been a f***ing amazing tag name.

No, there's no element of Kabuki theater to her mask. With VERY few exceptions, masks aren't a part of kabuki theater. That's a big distinction between Noh theater and Kabuki theater. Even the paint on it isn't Kabuki-esqe, it's from Butoh theater. I find the art style in the mask much more resembling the Kabuki makeup than Butoh. But it varies I thinka few are more Butoh. Really? I disagree. The dripping, the contrasts, the colors of all the variants, including this past week's, seem much more Butoh to me.

It depend for me,the Green Dripping one yeh.But the has a few more colorful ones.The ones that focus around the eyes with colorful angles remind me more of Kabuki..a very modern take on it ,still. Also I THINK a few of her mannerisms are a little more based on kabuki,but i`m not very knowledge on that part,I like to appreciate visuals more than dance.

I dislike either anyway. it was more a fun fact.I just wish there was away to get a cool name that represents both. I guess weird and standing out cna fit both. Its bad ,and boring,because WWE always boils tag teams of foreign heritage to "that country".For example Sky Pirates was neat,not that silly bu goofy like Kirai, and it fits then as a theme. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Kairi and Asuka leaning into their heritage. Its not like either of them hides from it and it is a part of them. "Sky Pirates" still isn't anything other than combining one word from each of their catchphrases and pretending it makes sense. Maybe its just me but they literally did that wwith EVERY MMC team and it never made sense. Even Boss and Hug Connection falls into it. There's nothing wrong, but it's what happens EVERY time. You're black? Go do black stuff, rap, dance, something like that. You're foreign? Go talk about how America sucks, preferably wearing your national colours. You're Asian? What's an Asian thing we can call you? There's more than one of these people? They have to either team or feud as fast as possible! There's a handful of exceptions, but we're what? 2 years away from 3 anti-American foreign heels running around Smackdown at the same time? In isolation, it's not amazing, but fine. But it's part of a long pattern that's at best lazy and ignorant, at worst xenophobic and racist.

Does Vince even realize how racist he appears?

They'll get a storyline where they fall in love and then they'll be called The Gayshas.
...
How I hope Vince isn't reading this.
