Trivia

  • This may be a reference to the movie The Karate Kid, in which the main character's master gives him a uniform and headband of his own design.
  • Disturbingly, yellow may not be this headband's original color. It may have been stained yellow as a result of Jarate practice. Although modern belts are colored with dyes, traditionally martial artists began their training with a white belt, which eventually became stained black from years of sweat, dirt, and blood.
    • The new official description explains that the bandana was white in the distant past.
  • In Japanese, there is a phrase that describes the act of putting on a similar headband, and is used as an expression to describe getting down to work. A Western world equivalent to that expression would be 'rolling up one's sleeves'.
  • Being able to be painted, it can itself contradict it's own name, changing it from a "Yellow" belt, to any of the paint colors provided.
