The Inuyasha stuff was nice, especially since I wrote it three months ago on an anime discussion board, but I'm not entirely sure why it was placed here, so I got rid of that.
I could go into a paragraph or two about *why* you can't swing the sickle-end around and expect to hit anything, but I'm not sure that's relevant to the article.
Question for previous editor: How is the kusarigama *not* derived from the kama?

since it was apparently stolen
i think that you statement about throwing only the weight is incorrect. iseing the Kama end gives it a 10 foot reach AND the chance to entangle. Oh, well.
I did a bit of editing and clean-up, but I didn't add any text/info. One question, though.... The article uses two different ways to spell/punctuate the name of this weapon: "kusarigama" and "kusari-gama". Is one more correct than the other? Does it matter? It would be good to be consistant within the article, but I have little/no expertise in the subjects of Japanese language (or translation thereof) OR martial arts weapons, I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Mutableye 02:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Not sure how to change this, but a Kama isn't the same as a sickle, despite the remark in the opening paragraph. If anyone knows how to change opening paragraphs, would you mind doing so?
I was under the impression that it was Kasurigama. I've seen it spelled this way before but which way is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stupidninja ( talk • contribs) 19:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
Is this really a "Fortification weapon"? I was thinking it was more of a "Personal Weapon". 24.10.168.198 ( talk) 05:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
See what I did with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuriken#In_popular_culture or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_(weapon)#In_popular_culture for example.
Okay, I guess I already did it :) -- Ostateczny Krach Systemu Korporacji ( talk) 15:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Didn't the kusarigama earn the ninja the majority if their kills on deadliest warrior. If so shouldn't it be mentioned that it was the most effective of all their weapons on the show in its trivia entry? -- WikiDonn ( talk) 22:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I think that Kusarigamajutsu should be merged into this article because it doesn't really add anything new, but just regurgitates what was said in this article's summary.
