Elon Musk Stuns Japan by Enrolling in Samurai Sword Class with Bikini-Clad Model: “I Wanted to Experience the Power of Both the Katana… and Beauty”
Kyoto, Japan – August 4, 2025 — While the global tech world continues to buzz over Elon Musk’s latest AI rants and Mars colonization plans, the billionaire took an unexpected detour — this time, straight into a traditional Japanese dojo in Kyoto, where he was spotted training in Kenjutsu (swordsmanship)… alongside a Japanese model wearing a red bikini.
From Tech CEO to Part-Time Samurai
Photos circulating on Japanese social media show Musk dressed in a white training gi, earnestly practicing basic katana moves under the guidance of an elderly sensei — while a stunning model in a two-piece bikini and traditional hakama twirled elegantly beside him, wielding a bamboo sword.
An eyewitness remarked:
“At first I thought they were filming some bizarre anime ad for Cybertruck Japan Edition. But no — Elon was dead serious about learning swordsmanship.”
Who Is the Mystery Bikini Samurai?
The model has been identified as Rika Watanabe, a former member of a Japanese idol group and current brand ambassador for a major Tokyo swimwear label. On her X account, Rika wrote:
“Taught an American how to hold a sword today. He wanted to know what it felt like to be struck by a katana… and by the gaze of a Japanese woman.”
Her post instantly went viral, turning into a national meme in Japan.
Musk Speaks Out: “I Didn’t Come to Japan Just for Sushi and Robot Deals”
In a now-trending tweet following the class, Elon Musk posted:
“True power doesn’t come from AI — it comes from what you learn when holding a wooden sword and trying to stay focused as a bikini-clad samurai spins around in front of you.”
Responses poured in instantly:
“This is the anime version of Elon I always dreamed of.”
“For the first time, AI is no match for a bikini.”
