Frank Chickens: Enter The Ninja
David Quantick, NME, 31 March 1984
"HAVE YOU read Winnie The Pooh?", asks Kazuko Hohki. I admit I have. "And Mary Poppins? And The Borrowers?." Kazuko, one half of Frank Chickens, is explaining why she came to Britain. "When I was very small, I read all of these, and I realised they were all made in England. So I had a fantasy about English people, because they had such good fairy tales, and such good sense of humour."
