Congrats and thanks for sharing your insights!

Whatever WaniKani tries to do, don’t use the same mnemonic for more than one pronunciation. For example don’t use the same word for both ほう and ほ or try to use gone for both ごん and がん. That way only leads to confusion and mistakes.

I got it. Now I’m trying to remind myself がん Ghandi. こん Condor. ほぅ @Whologist. ほ Who.

First off, I have enough false humility to keep it out of the title,

That‘s one of the new additions in Webster‘s dictionary. It‘s called „Humblebrag“.

Congratulations! Amazing feat and very interesting read. You‘re a hero! A Superhero.

If you cheat apprentice level kanji/radicals to stay on schedule, that probably doesn’t do any real harm if you’re honest about it

Agreed. I never accept a mistake on my first round of reviews (only), and I don’t feel like it has affected my memory thereafter.

Not really… one is Kyoto and the other one is Little Kyoto

Oh boy, yeah that did not help me at all, too little of a detail to stick.

The difference can’t be bigger. Kyoto is a real city. Former capital of Japan and even now still one if its most important cities.

Little Kyoto doesn’t exist. There is Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, where historically many Japanese people lived, and there are parts of other cities that have been informally called Little Tokyo (Vancouver, Düsseldorf), but Little Kyoto is a fictional place.

That’s certainly true, but I did not think about it that much when learnign those kanji.
