Kabuto (兜, 冑) is a type of helmet first used by ancient Japanese warriors, and in later periods, they became an important part of the traditional Japanese armour worn by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.
Note that in the Japanese language, the word kabuto is an appellative, not a type description, and can refer to any combat helmet.

Eggplants are probably the last thing I would expect to see on the head a fierce samurai warrior. However, historians think it was used as a symbol of prosperity. But I bet if your date showed up wearing this it would mean something different
