In the Japanese langauge there are three character alphabits. Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji. Kanji came first and it was adapted from the Chinese letter system. Later on the Japanese decided they wanted their own letter system, so they made hiragana, a simpiler form of kanji and has all the main Japanese vowels 'A I U E O' divided into columms. The Ka, Sa, Ta, Na, Ha, Ma, Ya, Ra, Wa and Nm. Then came Katakana, which is basically the same thing as hiragana, only the characters look different and it is only used for words that weren't originally in the Japanese langauge, aka: Hamburger, America, Ice-cream, Record and so on. The characters above is written in katakana, which is wrong because the 'Ke kasai' is a japanese phrase, therefore it should be written in hirgana. <P>Woo! Japanese 1A right there. Waaay to confusing if you don't know any Japanese...o.O <P>------------------
