Anyone know a link to a Japanese explanation of D&D?

[Lord Zardoz]

I have a friend who is somewhat curious about D&D. However, I would ike to make sure that she has a reasonable idea of what exactly D&D is about. There is also the cultural disconnect in that she had not really heard of D&D prior to meeting me.

What I would like is a link to any sort of japanese language explanation and description of what D&D is.

Cultural disconnect?

This may sound silly but ask her if she has seen or played the following...

Record of Lodoss Wars, Berserk, Slayers and/or Final Fantasy I. Basically, D&D is the source material for these franchises.

Have you tried the Japanese Wikipedia?

D&D--Big in Japan!

The cultural disconnect is mostly that while she is familiar with the concept of RPG type video games, the idea of a pen and paper RPG is completely unfamiliar to her.

Don't forget Bastard! Every tabletop game should have at least two or three spells of ultimate destruction named after bands and songs.
