While I was in Japan this year, I stunbled across something good. The Gosstsu ee Kanji illustrated encyclopedia, ダウンタウンのごっつええ漢字完全大図鑑. As far as I am aware, this book is out of print, but it can still be found for cheap on Amazon.

Here is a photo of the cover and some sample pages.

In most sketches where she featured, she was simply named "Ryoko", and there is one page dedicated to her characters, so a lot of them, such as her role in the 5 rangers series, is not included for some reason.

I got it as a gift from a guy I was visiting.
I doubt you can find it easily in used book stores. Amazon, Yahoo or Ebay are probably your best options.

Nice! I’ll try to track it down on my Book Off jaunts :D

Well, I found a link of the encyclopedia in Amazon.JP:

There are also the Best of Gottsu ee Kanji DVD’s and there is also the Chicken Rice song by Hamada as a single:

You can get the 3 volumes of "Best of Gottsu" (each one is 3 dvds, so 9 total) in AsianDVDClub. Each one has 1 seeder.

I thought about downloading it when I found out about them but thought that maybe downloading 30+ gb of a RAW japanese show that I wouldn’t understand was a bit weird (and it would fuck my ratio up :( )
