reflection #10



After watching summer wars again, because it is such a good movie, I wondered if there were other movies that included the hanafuda game. I went looking and I was surprised to find so many. For the Hanfuda in general I found Korean drama called Tazza and a movie called Tazza: The High Rollers. It revolves around these gamblers playing a the Korean version of Hanafuda which is Hwatu(war of flowers). So I thought that was cool then I found some others in cartoons.
Dragonball
When I looked for films related to koi koi hanafuda I was surprised that in quite a few animes there are characters named after the yaku/combination inoshikacho(boar,deer, butterfly). For example, InoShikaCho is a creature in the anime Dragonball. In the anime Kamichou!, Ino, Shika, and Chou are the three tiny spirits that the God Association sends to Yurie as assistants. In the anime Ranma 1/2, Ino, Shika, and Cho are grandmasters from the martial arts tea school. The anime Naruto has a three-man team consisting of the members Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi, as well as the team formed by their respective fathers (and the rest of their families), Inoichi Yamanka, Shikaku Nara, and Chouza Akimichi. The combination is referred to as the InoShikaCho formation.
