Fun with yojis

I came across something today that's all kinds of fun and even somewhat relevant to this blog!

Check it out:

Essentially, you put your name (or, I guess, anything you like...) into the little box and it creates a "yoji jukugo" that expresses your essence. I use the quotes because they aren't really legitimate yoji-jukugo, more like niji-jukugo that are put together in funny ways.

Post your funnier ones in the comments! I'll start with what I got when I tried putting the katakana spelling of my name:

  1. Man, Nirav - nobody's gonna beat that.

    Although mine's not as funny, it wins points for accuracy.

  2. Haha... I tried my last name followed by my first name and it gave me = 痴漢宣言

    I much prefer my name in katakana tho = 足首美人

  3. Bamboo, your yoji comes oh-so-close to beating mine, but at least for the moment I seem to still be in the lead.

    You can actually put in all kinds of variations (eg. katakana, hiragana, kanji if you've made them up/already have them, roman letters in both upper and lower case, etc, etc).

    Brett, this one is kind of funny: http://usokomaker.com/yoji/?a=Maker&oo=%B2%F9%CE%F5%C5%C7%BB%D2%BF%A9

  4. I hope this one doesn't capture my true essence... 淫乱志望

    I'm having way too much fun with this.
