Recently started WaniKani, and just unlocked 玉. The description of Tama receiving a drop from the king formed a particular image in my mind, so after looking for some existing artwork I instead spend some time trying to get AI to generate an image that closely matched my idea of her. And so, I give you: Tama, WaniKani’s resident ball girl, out and about collecting balls. That’s her job, after all. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/2/1/7/217c5de857d680255e36c5eec5937a56589cd3f3.jpeg) ---

Okay, this is so cute! The story of Tama also really helped me remember this kanji from the get go. I love that she’s got onions in her basket as well given she’s also in たまねぎ! Glad she doesn’t seem to have any eyeballs in her basket (though I guess technically it’s her strange sister Dama in that one …) As a side note, I may actually try doing this for any of the kanji/vocab that I struggle to remember. An actual visual representation could work where my brain can’t picture it on its own. ---

Hmm, Dama looks decidedly less friendly. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/1/4/2/1428a5f530a808a394fd6fc2cbb4799e44de9894.jpeg) Yea, the stories help a lot! I might end up making more in the future. Having a picture like that helps making it stick! (Or maybe it’s just the time spent on fiddling with the AI to get a good image. Hmm…) ---

This is actually a genius idea, sometimes I have a really really hard time memorizing wanikani’s weird brain convulsions at picturing stuff ---

There’s a thread actually where some people were attempting to make these for all wk kanji. I think it’s this one but maybe hunt around!
