Memory Hook
Imagine a 'person' standing alone, independent. 'Ko-jin' sounds like 'co-jin' — think of a 'co-worker' as an individual in a group. 'Co-jin' → 個人 (kojin, 'individual').
Cultural Note
In Japan, the concept of 『個人』 (kojin, 'individual') is often balanced with group harmony. While individuality is valued, expressions like 『個人情報』 (kojin jouhou, 'personal information') highlight privacy concerns in modern society.
