THE FIVE RINGS
by John Holloway
MMA fighter Dave Kellogg wins the MMA world championship in Tokyo. He also wins Mikiko Toranaga’s heart. The problem is, Dave’s an American and she’s the daughter of the most powerful Yakuza leader in Japan. Mr. Toranaga isn’t happy that his daughter has fallen in love with a Gaijin. He orders Dave to leave Japan. Of course, Dave doesn’t and takes off into rural Japan with Mikiko only to be captured by the Yakuza. Dave’s beaten within an inch of his life. Barely alive, he’s flown back to the US and recovers in UCLA’s hospital where he meets a “Carlos Castenada” professor who sends him to the SW to “gain a spiritual base.” Dave learns “Yaqui Way of Knowledge” and returns to Japan to find Mikiko. Dad has gone to great length to hide his daughter.
