My favorite character is the Kanji 雨・あめ・Rain. 雨 was the first Japanese character I learned and, it may just be me, but it seems to really stand out in Japanese writing. I really like all of it’s associated Kanji like the one in my user image which means snow – 雪・ゆき・Snow.

I do have one Kana I particularly like which is the hiragana symbol め, from what I’ve read it originated from the cursive Chinese character for woman 女・おんな・Woman, I haven’t read any other hiragana references although I’m sure all of hiragana originated from cursive Chinese characters.

On the other hand, my favourite kanji to write is either 子・こ, 水・みず (water) or 冬・ふゆ (winter).

Favourite Hiragana to write: あ,し,ま,め,る.
Favourite Katakana to write: ア,タ,ホ,ナ,レ,ン.

I’m weird…
