It's Japanese. It looks like "watshiwa aini aru". It's not gramatically correct. Watashi = I or me, ai = love, aru = to have, to exist. You figure out the rest.

It says 'pitagora suicchi'- this literally means 'Pitagora Switch'. \n\nI just checked on Yahoo Japan for you, and it looks like it is the name of a kind of cartoon show. I've never seen it before though, so I can't tell you anything about the contents of the show.

I am an Orthodox Jew and did a quick check on a few of my books.  The one thing I cannot find is any link between that kind of symbol and Judaism.  It was not used by any of the 12 tribes or any of the various Kings of Israel.\n\nIt doesn't meant here isn't any (I am no authority on this matter), but I cannot find one.  Maybe something more local to you and the area though.  Another option is that it is merely decorative- especially if it is an oriental dragon, orientalism has come and gone in fashion.  (A sudden thought- he wasn't originally Welsh was he?  It is a slim chance, I know)

Erm... this is weird.  The last character is not Chinese, it looks Korean.  Sorry but I don't understand the characters except for the first one, 談.  It means "to talk about / to discuss".
