Download Jan Ken Pong Anime APK
"Jankenpon" or "janken" is the Japanese name for rock-paper-scissors. Anime and manga often use it to help make decisions.
In English, it cannot be directly translated from Japanese. To collide or clash is "," so the full phrase means "two fists collide." This is a supposed corruption of the Chinese term "," which is pronounced "loeng kyun pung" in Cantonese.
The first two syllables of "Jan-ken" are said while players show their hands. They show their play by saying "pon.". This is the most important rule of the game.

- The name "Guu" refers to rock.
- Paper is known as "Paa".
- A pair of scissors is called a "choki.".
