Hi Rt The kanji is Japanese, and what you said is quite interesting, the kanji is translated as Ten, and gu tengu, then ten mountain goblin (can see the Chinese sky dog, sort of)
I think (disclaimer my Japanese is not that good) the ten is translated as heaven (sky) and the gu as goblin
Very interesting cheers
KEEP THE VOTES ACOMING
Why is this on a scooby forum? well everyone knows scooby drivers have the best taste (hehe)

Why would you put Kenji on a non-Japanese car? 
I'd personally go for someting like number 3, but maybe with a fat stripe in the middle with 2 pinstripes either side, if you know what I mean.

Thnx for that ray
seems twin stripe is the winner
Just done some research, seems the tengu never appeared in chinese mythology (or i have not found it yet), the tengu was a winged goblin that taught the yamabushi fo fight, many of the fabled ninjutsu schools have strong links to the tengu, and some wood carvings show the teng teaching their arts of ken jutsu (the art of the sword) to people, it is one of the few things Japanese that did not derive from china,(even though the kanji here may be identical to "sky dog" in Chinese, it is does not mean sky dog in Japanese) that along with the beloved meneke neko (spelling?) you know the cat you see in Chinese takeaways, its paw is raised and a big gold coin around its neck (incidentally what is called in Chinese?) (irashai irashai- “come in come in” heheh spelling?) to invite you to come in, its good luck for shop keepers and the like.
Very fascinating I will do some research into the “gu”, part of the kanji see how dog, changed to goblin form the original Chinese kanji into the Japanese.
Cheers dude, keep them coming
OO its like a cultural lesson all in one
Here is the kanji for dog, as you can se it is different to that of the Chinese

just found:
Tengu is a mythical mountain goblin. Tengu has a red face and extremely long nose, and carries a hauchiwa (feathered fan). Part man and part bird, tengu have supernatural powers, though they are mischievous rather than evil.
Tengu are worshipped by yamabushi (mountain priests), they usually wear the costume of yamabushi with tall geta (wooden clogs). Minamoto Yo****sune (a great warrior in 12th century) is famous for being taught martial arts and strategy by a tengu on Mt. Kurama, north of Kyoto.
Tengu also have been known to abduct children. In the Kamakura Period (1192-1333), there were many sudden disappearance attributed to kidnappings by tengu.
There is a saying "tengu ni naru (to become a tengu)," which means to become conceited.

HEHHEHE
Had to do loads of work to get the picture, ended up drawing it again myself as the one on the site is too small, that has to be the maddest name for a restaurant heheh
Trying to figure out what cat flap would be, asked a Japanese friend and he did not know
There may not be a catflap in kanji, but I can make cats door, or cats entrance may use these in the kanji instead of the tengu, but I do so love tengu, been fascinated by them for many years, and their wiley mountain goblin ways

yeh ive seen that one before, hehe it looks fantastic, i want something a little unconventional dare to be different and all that
The stripes look nice, but its been done to death, I might opt for the kanji and if i dont like it ill go with what everyone recons, the 2 stripes, they are cool in a retro sort of way
If i go for the stripes im gona put a big number 6 on the back, with a small caption
"i am not a number, i am a free man"

Having heard one of these at a Bassingbourn track day, they sound fantastic and go like a bullit.
However, whatever way you decide to dress it up, you cant polish a turd!!!.
Sorry, only joking again. I'm a Caterham owner and I couldn't resist it.
I like the sound of a red circle number thingy ie lucky strike....
respect
