URASOE CITY, Japan -- (Feb. 9, 2009) From parts unknown Kou "the killer" Johnston uses a "folding chair" to entice Kai "the screamer" Johnston down from the top of the "squared circle" in this no-holds barred cage matchup at the Johnston METRODOME on Monday. Referee Tomoe and Ken Johnston stand off to the side to ensure they miss the 1-2-3 count like all professional refrees in wrasslin'.

Johnston Jackass (Season 2)
URASOE CITY, Japan (Feb. 9, 2009) Kai -- in mask --, Kou and Ken run around the house. Kou slips and falls in the video. I guess I shouldn't laugh when this stuff happens but I guess laughing is better than screaming at them to !@!# the !#$#@! up. Sorry this is best quality for this video from my cell phone.

Brushing Teeth before Bed

Anything can be a toy
Touring Tokyo
TOKYO'S UENO PARK -- (12/29/2008) -- Tomoe, and the three Ks -- Kai, Kou and Ken -- pose outside of an Asian-architecture inspired building (it might be a port-a-john) in Tokyo's Ueno Park. We were to go to the zoo that's at Ueno Park called get this -- The Ueno Zoo -- but it was closed on Mondays. Whooda thunk!
TOKYO'S UENO DISTRICT (12/29/2008) -- Kai and Kou enjoy some authentic Soba in a soba restaurant near Ueno Train Station in Tokyo. Soba is basically noodles made from buckwheat and dipped in a sauce.
TOKYO'S UENO District (12/29/2008) -- Ken tries his hand at chopsticks at the Soba restaurant. He's in his "I want to do it myself!" or "Jebun de" stage of development. Which of course makes for loads of fun for the boys and girls.
TOKYO'S YAMANOTE TRAIN LINE (12/29/2008) -- Ken puts the choke hold on Kou right in front of their mother on the Yamanote Line. Mom was clueless to the "sleeper hold" as she was a little tired.
TOKYO'S SHINAGAWA AQUARIUM (12/29/2008) -- The three Ks -- Kai, Ken and Kou watch a shark bottom feed or sleep in a fish tank at the Shinagawa Aquarium Park in Shinagawa district of Tokyo. This was our plan B since Ueno Zoo (our plan A) was closed. The boys sure did get a kick out of the sharks though. Like minds....think a like. Ken especially liked the sharks that had the big chainsaw looking bill on them. Really strange to see. The dolphin show at this aquarium was really good too.
TOKYO'S Shinagawa District -- (12/29/2008) Ken stirs his lemonade as Tomoe sets her coffee down in anticipation of a spill. Too slow...Kou just to her right spilled his lemonade about two minutes after this picture was taken. The restaurant guy had a smile on as he wiped up the lemonade but a "if your @#$%@ kid wasn't on the table maybe this wouldn't happen" look. He didn't offer and we didn't ask for a free refill. Touche!
Sunday
Post office granpa
NAHA, Japan -- (Dec. 28, 2008) -- Kai puts on the "free" glasses at the airport post office to help him see a little better before going on vacation to Tokyo.
