Did the Ninja Turtles get anyone else interested in Japan?

Not particularly. Maybe it got me into the martial arts craze, and ninjas and all that, but not Japan particularly. I mean when you really think about it, other than Splinter's Miyagi impression, a few flashbacks, and Usagi, there wasn't really that much Japanese stuff on the show... and it made their food look gross.

I'm not sure if Japanese food wasn't as popular back then as it was now, but it's weird how they made Splinter's sushi seem so weird and foreign. "Not even on a pizza dude."
