Kancho
1. put hands together as if praying - haha very signifigant when I think about it
2. intertwine your middle, ring and pinkie finger so your index finger is pointing straight out.
3. wait for unsuspecting victim to walk by
4. find victim and position oneself behind them in a crouching position
5. when you sense their most moment of relaxation, scream out a “kiyaaaa!” and ram your index fingers into their backside.
6. obtain Kancho enlightment.
Ah yes, the kancho. So much fun for the giver, and not so much for the receiver. Not sure where its origins began, but I too have had my experience with Japanese schoolkids trying to violate me. It usually ends with me holding them upside down and threatening to throw them off the 2nd story balcony.
I thought that returning home, I’d be safe from the kancho, and I was. . . up until a recent visit to a Korean supermarket where I found this:
Notice how happy the person giving the kancho (bow in hand) is and the arrows are tipped with hearts signifying love is on the way. Pink and green (horny) hearts floating above its head.
Also notice the one who has just been kancho’d has a frown on its face and a broken bottom LEAKING CHOCOLATE! They had to have known the symbolism there. And what is that symbol behind him? Looks like a heart with eyelashes? NO, its a butt in the middle of a target with pain ‘lines’ shooting out of it!
Flip the box over:
So sweet, getting kissed after getting the rectal trauma of a lifetime symbolized by the now BLUE heart floating above her head. Looks like he is going to cry, right? Yes, tis the story of the kancho.
