    Are there any other tutorial site beside this that offer some tutorials on how to draw a kimono?

    What is the male's japenese dress called? the one that is like what Kenshin wears in the anime?

    Well, no one's answerin'...so lemme try and field this. What Kenshin's wearin' is called a hakama. It's pretty much used these days as what you wear under kendo gear. It's a billowy skirted pant...much like M.C. Hammers, but does not taper back in. And a top that functions much like a yukata, light but large. Motoko wears one in Love Hina. Hino Rei wears one in SailorMoon. Kuno Tatewaki wears one in Ranma. The first two are red and white while Kuno's is black and blue. Of course, Kenshin's is fuschia (???) and white. I think it comes in three layers, with the first serving as "underwear" and the other two consisting of the pant and gi. I'm pretty much pulling this outta my keyster here...cuz I've heard this stuff a while back.
