Shiritori ~Japanese Side~
Maybe some of you have heard of this game.
It's called Shiritori. It's often played by Japanese kids to help learn their Kana... Not to mention that it's a great game to be played by anyone learning Japanese. The rules are simple. Someone starts off with a word. Whatever that word ends with, the next person must start the next word with that syllable. Ex: Hikari > Ritsuko In TRUE Shiritori, only nouns are to be used... But here, we'll allow anything, so long as it's Japanese. Be it anime series, characters, words, etc. Now, there is a way to lose. In Japanese, there is a stand alone syllable, the N. It can be used at the end of a word (udoN) or in the middle (koNnichiwa). If someone ends a word with the N syllable, they lose, simply because a word cannot be started with that syllable. (It just doesnt exist. Language rules and all.) Detailed information on Shiritori can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori Lets play! Sakura

This might be inaccurate since our words (includng mine) might include Kanji-based characters.

Zhang... You fail.
I started with Sakura, so you should have started with 'ra'. Anyway, Kanji based doesnt matter. Any Japanese word can syllabically be converted to Kana, so this bases on that. No matter which Kanji is used. Anyway, I'll continue with your's. Chikara
