The History of Iki Guy
Iki guy comes from Okinawa, but like where does it, what is it? Where does it come from? Yeah. According to the research that I've done, there was a, this wonderful group of women who were known as Ama divers. They literally went down and they jumped into the ocean butt naked and took a wooden barrel out and floated it on the surface of the ocean. So eventually over time, it morphed into ikikai, which means life's worth. And other people in Okinawa started doing things that were really good at whether it was woodworking or, or teaching or, you know, learning martial arts or whatever they case.
