Tori Chiki Ban Ban

Apparently this is a fried chicken place in Kyushu.  Tori means bird or chicken and "chiki" comes from chicken. Ban ban is how bang bang is written in Japanese. So, it's "chicken chicken bang bang" or "bird chicken bang bang." Take your pick. Sometimes you might see a chicken place that has a cartoon chicken mascot. This works well because most people (I can safely assume I am like most people) like to imagine that the meat they are ripping into was at one point a cute character that children adore. This restaurant has turned that concept upside down.
I guess the idea is that some assassin monkey dresses up as a chicken, probably "gets to know" all the hens, and then murders them. The consumer then can enjoy the lifeless carcasses. It turns out, this is also kind of fun to think about while you eat meat.
