The Secret Life of Hirohito

Hirohito was a Samurai. At least, he had hoped to be reborn as one after a mediocre and dull life as a clerk in Osaka. His main tasks were to sort through mail, discard junk and forward messages to their recipients. A highlight of his day was flagging a letter or memo as "High Priority". He often got papercuts from tearing open envelops all day. He hardly remembers how he passed away now. It probably wasn't a very exciting story. 

Now he is a letter-opener in the shape of a samurai sword. Or more accurately, a katana.

Karma's a bitch. Really.
