		Believing these crabs -- Heikegani -- are reincarnations of the spirits of the Heike warriors defeated at the Battle of Dannoura, Japanese fishermen kept throwing them back into the sea from their nets.
		Since the crabs with shells resembling samurai warrior’s face were thrown back, and those not resembling samurai were eaten, the former were given a greater chance of reproducing.
		And, as the generations of both men and crabs were passing, there were more and more Heikegani in the Japanese sea.
