Shiritori is a
Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word
which begins with the final
kana of the previous word. No distinction is made between
hiragana and
katakana.
Example: sakura -> rajio -> onigiri -> risu -> sumou -> udon
The word "udon" loses the game, as it ends with a syllabic "n".
(Japanese words may not begin with a syllabic "n".)
Usually, only nouns are permitted.
In some variants, dakuten and handakuten (see
Hiragana) are ignored. Thus "furo" can follow "suupu".
