WHO IS DHAREZA?

Many People Wonder Where Dhareza Came From

Lore has it that Dhareza was kidnapped as a baby by lemurs that cared for him until they got bored. Fortunately, a traveling band of ninjas took him in and trained him to be silent as the night and to live in the shadows. Being afraid of the dark, this was very difficult for Dhareza. He turned to art and design as a source of amusement and illumination. Many years later an archaeological team looking for remnants of the 80s discovered Dhareza and put him to work. The truth is … Dhareza was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka and led an innocuous life of t-shirts and baggy shorts until he moved to the United States where he received an “education”.

No ... Seriously
