Since I've gotten so many requests for this, thought I'd publicly post
the anime references in Star Trek.

ST:TNG

"Ménage à Troi" - The Ferengi Security code begins with "Kei Yuri".

	Actually, the beginning of the security phrase is: "Kei to Yuri..."  which
literally is Japanese for "Kei and Yuri..."  Scary thought about Ferengi
security codes, isn't it... Threating someone with a visit from the Dir...
Lovely Angels...???


	And I've always been partial towards Rich Sternbach's statement that one
of the default buttons for the Holodecks on Federation starships is labeled
"Tomobiki Simulator"... This of course, has lead to various visions of the
1701-D crew playing assigned parts...  and given Riker's general role in
the show, it's obvious he'd have to be Ataru...  Perhaps Troi as Shinobu...
and Ensign Ro as Lum???  (Or maybe the other way around???)  Of course, the
Troi/Shinobu scenario fits nicely with the Worf/Mendo setting, which
indirectly leads to the (current ST storyline) Dax/Asuka Mizunokoji
casting...  The rest of my fevered casting ideas available on request...  I
keep threating to write this one, and it may show up someday... just 'cause
it'd be fun!!!  Beverly Crusher as Ran would be a blast!  This would
probably get started when the crew finds out that Lt "Broccli" Barkley has
a fascination with this particular scenario... and is cast in the role of
Megane...
