KANEKO’S CRIB NOTES XXXIII:THE FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS

(To the tune of…)

We Four Kings of Buddhism are
Wearing scowls, on sin we wage war
North and West, South and East
Protecting near and far

O Kazuma Kaneko, that Atlus guy
He had to refine the Four Kings in ‘09
Pictures countless, statues endless
Which of them would catch his eye?

Scouring sources exhaustively
Kaz found the Kings of Todai-ji
Studying, inspecting, scrutinizing
He Cribbed them for his posse

O new Heav’nly Kings of sleek design
High-res images of you are impossible to find
Sprites are meager, screenshots weaker
Give them a page each in a future guide!

Six years late, a revelation
Kaneko Works IX’s high resolution
Kishin four, scanned and restored
Newly for Twenty Twenty-One!
