Menpo/Yodare

The Menpo and Yodare are parts of the Kabuto in most rights.  The Menpo is the face protector and the Yodare is the is neck protection.    The Menpo was a metal face plate that covered various parts of the face.  Some only covered the cheeks some covered the whole face. Most Menpo where equipped with a hole in the bottom of the chin to allow sweat to drip out of the mask. Most Menpo have the face of a man but there a many different versions.  Most have a wild mustache in bright colors.  This is to gain a advantage in combat by straining the eye or scaring the person for a split second. .  The Yodare would cover the neck with plates that where laced in place.
