As anybody who's been to Japan (or anybody who frequently visits Bored Panda) will know, there's no shortage of things to do in the Land of the Rising Sun. We're not just talking about eating, cosplaying, and visiting awesome temples, either. We're talking about perusing the clothes stores in search of funny t-shirts with the best (or more like worst) examples of English turned Engrish via comically bad translations. Hunting for translation fails is precisely what somebody who goes by the name of critcrawl did recently. As you can see from these hilariously funny translations, they weren't disappointed with the results! Dainty Protagonist has to be our favorite - a t-shirt slogan that truly hits home. Which of these t-shirt fails do you sympathize the most with? Let us know in the comments!

My favorite shirt from Japan (that I bought as soon as I laid eyes on it) says: People in the NEWS! My best friend He's their pet He's not a pain in the trunk!

It looks like a sample slide from a PowerPoint or something.

Surely they meant "Major Transport with the Aid of Other Delivery"? Hell; everyone knows that!

Now this just makes no sense at all. Gibberish would be easier to understand

I's like to see what it is supposed to read. I think you missed the boat. Or boat gone away, you.
