STRONG BAD: So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it! Ding-dong...
{reading}
Dear Strong Bad, what would you look like as a japanese cartoon and what would it be about? -james f.
{Strong Bad pronounces "f." "fffffffffff"}
{typing} A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.
{cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look different, the changes are applied}
Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real-real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!
{we see Stinko Man, the anime Strong Bad, flying around in all sorts of cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime-rendition of the field.}
And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.
{20X6 Homestar walks on}
20X6 HOMESTAR: Hey Stinko Man! Everybody says you're the guy but, I wanna be the guy too!
STINKO MAN: No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.
{Pan Pan, the anime version of !PomPom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 20X6 Homestar}
STINKO MAN: Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!
{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene, and a bunch of Japanese names flash across the screen for credits while the 20X6 theme song plays. Then we're back to Compy with Strong Bad typing.}
STRONG BAD: {in Stinko Man's voice} Japanese cartoons are w-- {clears his throat} Oh, ahem, excuse me. {goes back to typing and uses his regular voice} Japanese cartoons are weird, man. Though I may be on to something with that blue hair. {stops typing} Look pretty nice, it look-a pretty nice!
{does the ink-transition again and flashes more credits; one of the credits is a link to email Strong Bad instead of The Paper}
Easter Eggs
- At the very end you can click on the words, "Japanese Cartoons" and see "Stinkoman K 20X6" in action.
- At the end of "Stinkoman K 20X6" you can click on "Japanese Cartoons" again to see Homestar Runner watching it and singing along to the theme song.
- While or after Homestar is watching the intro to Stinkoman, you can click on the "NES Endings" video tape to see various ending to NES games.
- Once the NES Endings window opens you can click on it to show more.

- According to Strong Bad, the steps to making a cartoon character into a japanese cartoon character are:
- Make the head a little bean
- Have real-real big eyes
- Get rid of the thumbs
- Make it all shiny
- The shoes would be a whole lot cooler, like robot boots
- And for some reason, they'd have blue hair. You gotta have blue hair!

- The name Stinko Man is a reference to island. Homestar suddenly calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman."
- 20x6 is actually a reference to the first Metroid game, which is set in the year 20x5.
- The spaceship looks a lot like this spaceship from the videogame Galaxy 5000
- The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from The Legend of Zelda for NES.
