Looking for the name of a japanese language game

[dblair]

In some “real world” setting anime I’ve seen characters play a language game where someone says a word, then the next person says another word that starts with the last kana of the previous word.

What is the name of that game?

Shiritori. Good game to use in English lessons too, hehe.

~Shiritori~

To quote Moonstruckさん, author of the original しりとり thread: The first person writes a Japanese word, then the next person writes a new Japanese word beginning with the last “letter” of the last person’s word. If someone ends a word in ん, they lose…because no words start with ん. Example Person 1: 眼鏡 (めがね - glasses) Person 2: 猫 (ねこ - cat) Person 3: 子供 (こども - children) Person 4: 勿論 (もちろん - of course) Person 4 loses. It’s a great way to learn new vocabulary from each other, looking it up,…
