I LIVE WITH A MONK??

坊主／ぼうず、Bouzu

If some one has a shaved head, you call him BOUZU.  There used to be more BOUZU boys in Japan because by rules, boys were required to have BOUZU hair.  Now public schools eliminated the rule.  Thanks goodness for many of them.

The word BOUZU can also be used to a novice buddhist monk.  This young man chose to shave his head because he wanted to be loyal to his school baseball team (they lost in the tournament game).  He received a new nickname, "ONIGIRI HEAD," that means RICE BALL HEAD.

この男の子は、坊主です。新しいニックネームは、「おにぎりあたま」かわいいね？！たたみの部屋にすわって笑っていますよ。
