Not true.
The pants are called "zubon". A "hakama" is something different. Hence I corrected the entry. -- Kennin may 23rd, 4:26 (CET)
Simple Corrections
I corrected the grammar, and removed a blatantly false claim that it holds up pants it doesn't even touch. Obi do not hold up pants, they simply hold the kimono, or apparently uwagi closed. Nagajuban have their own belts, and hakama have their own bit to tie to hold them up. Those other pants probably also hold themselves up instead of requiring a separate, detached piece to do it. And, I'm pretty that's the case, because we never see the pants those must be requiring a belt. From a "western" perspective," it probably made sense to assume a belt holds up pants, but that is not the way obi work. Obi are mostly sashes, not belts, and serve the same functions as sashes. The karate belt called an obi in this might not even be an obi at all, and probably has a distinct name, because it's more like a belt to hold shut a nagajuban than an obi. Obi are sashes, so I don't think those are considered obi. Despite that, they unction like obi, n that they only hold the uwagi closed, just as obi only hold the kimono closed. --174.19.234.173 (talk) 21:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
