Did you see the follow up program where the Mongols built a huge fleet only to be destroyed in a typhoon? I always knew that was the source of the name Kamikaze but I did not know that they made landfall and were beat back into the ocean by the Samurai. Now that would make a great movie.

LOL, saw that one too. Something that I can't put my finger on was amiss about the program. Anyway, one thing they failed to mention is that the Samurai were from the Ainu tribe and were likely quite bigger than most of the attackers.

The Samurai And The Ainu
