As previously mentioned, Sengoku has an obvious habit of relying on horoscopes and luck to predict outcomes, and really, what human being wouldn't feel tempted to know that their future in life is secured? This doesn't cover anything about the concept of LUCK but Sengoku's trademarks lie within the number 7 and maneki neko. And horoscope, but that's explained here with the Sagittarius. THE LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN: In my 40.5 scans, the little pattern used for his information boxes reads: LUCKY 7 in Katakana. So, now you know where my site name came from! Also, fans draw it all over the place - the lucky seven and Sengoku - whether it be on his shirt, him holding up a seven, or holding up seven fingers. Seven is supposedly a mystic and sacred number; among gambling, mythology, religion. Depsite that, 7 is a symbol of good luck and fortune. Supposedly, it's the "number of perfection" that has clearly defined many things in our daily lives as well as defied mathematics (according to my research). And seven is ALWAYS the winning number in jackpots. Even though i've touched research on the number seven slightly for the sake of this shrine - it's a little tough to define why the number 7 is so important since the number really does take into account many different levels of life. Not to mention, TONS of superstitions with the number seven are all over the place. For some supersitions and explanations, you can read up more at this site. MANEKI NEKO: Since I come from an 'Asian' heritage, I'm familiar with those porcelain cats holding up a golden bar with one paw raised in the air, they're common among local Asian markets. So, when learning that Sengoku had one of these suckers on top of his locker facing in a lucky direction, I laughed! The maneki neko is suppsedly something that brings good luck, good fortune, or money depending on which type you have. The gesture on the cat's paw (right, left, high, low) and position (left, right) matter the most when possessing one. If put in the correct position, you'll eventually have luck come in your direction. It's not specified which type or color he has for the maneki neko, though it is positioned in a lucky spot, facing a lucky direction -- a direct practice of feng shui. Maneki neko come in all sizes, shapes, expressions, and colors. They're also not just a Japanese myth, most of the asian countries have a tendency to display them in their own households.
