Reasons A Woman Would Hang Out With Shishio...
1. Women adore men who make them laugh.  The way his hair sticks up between those bandages is pretty darn funny. 
2. He thinks big.  Never hang out with a man who thinks small. 
3. No matter how bad you look, he can never criticize you.  He will always look worse.
4. He buys you lots of those nifty off-the-shoulder kimonos.  They've got to be easier to move in than their more tightly wrapped counterparts.
5. All of his cute henchmen.
6. He's an interesting conversationalist, if a little insane. 
7. You don't have to worry about cold feet in the night. 
8. He's easy to buy clothes for.  No worrying about solids, plaids or stripes.  Just one extra-long roll of linen bandages, please.
9. Come on.  Admit it.  He's hot.  -- Contributed by Danielle of the Soujirou Shrine
10. When he gives you a 'smoldering' look, he really GIVES you a 'smoldering' look. -- Contributed by Julie Farel
11. You need never bother about nursing his ego, since his is ALWAYS big enough already, and unlikely to be hurt.  -- Contributed by Tracy Lim
12 Instant Hot Water in the Meiji Era! Whether it's for a bath, tea, or to boil tofu, just give him a couple seconds to make it hot! -- Contributed by Tigris
