Hatsumi is the only living student of the last "fighting ninja," Toshitsugu Takamatsu, the so-called 33rd Grand Master who was a bodyguard to officials in Japanese-occupied Manchuria before World War II and fought - and won - 12 fights to the death.
...Rumors of Takamatsu's death still abound to this day, but scholars estimate it occurred sometime after, but before the end of, his thirteenth fight to the death.
I was browsing for patches of mapped areas and noticed a little plot in northern Algeria that appears to be the only mapped area of that country as of now.
My first guess is that it's of some sort of military base judging by the helipad on the west. It's virtually isolated and surrounded by some sort of structure. According to this article the US states it has no military bases in Algeria, so it must be a local establishment or of some other nation.
I don't know why this trips my curiosity - I know nothing of Algeria or military installations (assuming that's what it is). Still, if anyone has any ideas it might be fun to speculate.
Also, there is a patch north of Poland that appears to be entirely of just the sea zoomable down to the finest level. What's with that?
