DESCRIPTION:Japanese count big money in units of 10,000. They don't for instance, have a word for 'million.' - a million is actually called 100. Which would be logical if it were written with -sized commas:
100,0000 . . . but it's written with rest-of-the-planet commas, like this: 1,000,000. I'm sure some asshole
thought he was doing the rest of the world a favor with this compromise, but actually that just makes it
more confusing for everyone. Probably it was the same motherless douche who decided to import all the
on-yomi from China and get them all wrong.

ONYOMI: RYUU
ONYOMI: JUN
Same ON-yomi as regular dragon ()

This looks difficult but it's easy: the left side is 'stand' () and the right side really looks like a dragon
standing up on its hind legs, facing right!!
The KKK moves on patrol around here in June.

KUNYOMI:
DESCRIPTION: MEAN-A-LIKES:

every four years.

The ancient Chinese one is mostly used in peoples' names. But you also have to learn it in order to learn the
next kanji.

Number: 1744

this means disaster - not in the sense of earthquakes or tsunami. Disaster in the

1054
sense of 'How was your trip to Tahiti?' 'Oh my god, it was a total disaster!!! First we
missed the plane, then I got an infection, then on top of all that our hotel was run by
zombies!'
carries the sense of a bunch of random unconnected misfortunes. It never rains,
but it pours, kind of thing.

the Wu dynasty of China
OBSOLETE, STRONG
DESCRIPTION: No disrespect to the Wu Tang, but this kanji is not so useful.

Why bother with it? Because you need this one for "apologize," which, this being Japan, is pretty useful.
Actually to me this looks more like Kraftwerk than Wu Tang, because the box is a head, the diagonal line looks
like two arms -- right raised up and left plunked down, and the bottom part is clearly a keyboard that the
little guy is playing. So I guess if you can imagine the GZA playing a keyboard while making up some
beats, there you go.
