My friend and I always send emails back and forth with so-called familiar/well known phrases or quotes. He sent me this phrase in an email today.10 points to the first person to tell me where this phrase comes from, who said/wrote it, and what does it mean. I tried doing a search on yahoo, but it wasn't working for me. Help please?

My friend and I have been playing this game for years, and we're not allowed to use any phrases/quotes that aren't part of pop culture or general knowledge. The object of the game is to pick an obsure phrase or quote that is from something wildly popular. Unless he is cheating, I'm not understanding why I can't find the origins on the internet. This is really frustrating me!

OMG Jeny G you are so right, I feel like such an idiot!!! The Superfriends was one of my fave cartoons when I was a kid. I can't believe I didn't get this, I'm going to strangle my friend when I see him. Thanks to all who answered!

Literally, the phrase means " Like the wind, quickly or swift as a wind. " a popular line spoken by a samurai in the once infamous animated series, superfriends. These words were used whenever he uses his powers to turn his whole body into a tornado. Check out Wikipedia.
FYI, Superfriends was a Hanna Barbera cartoon series. The Samurai, as one of the superheroes, was added to the team at the latter part of the series, before the show actually died down.

It says "Fast like wind".
I don't know where this came from.
This phrase is in japanese language
kaze = wind
no you ni = like
hayaku = fast.
