ＫＡＢＵＫＩＭＯＮＯ ( カブキもの ) is often translated into English as 'strange things' or 'the crazy ones'. The Kabukimono were a group that dressed in a somewhat strange, peculiar style and spoke in a vulgar, specialized vernacular which matched their often outrageous behavior. They were often very violent and rude, doing things such as not paying at restaurants and stealing money from townsfolk. Cases of cutting down people simply to try a new sword were commonplace.
