Japan To-do:

is the inspiration for the helmet of Darth Vader. i dont believe this to be true. the idea that his helmet derrives from the standard wehrmacht stahlhelm is more common. because of the use of german stormtrooper also more plausible.

The word kabuto is probably related at a very ancient level to the Indo-European *kaput, "head." The helmet is protection for the head, and the first helmets were probably made of the skulls of bears, lions, and wolves. Das Baz 15:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget to mention kabuto beetles :)

Oh, and about Vader.. uhh.. he didn't wear hakama or robe/cloakness.. He had a cape. A superhero cape.
