Memory Hook
Imagine an 'adult' who has 'grown into' their role. The kanji 成 (sei) means 'become' and 人 (jin) means 'person' — together, they form 'adult' as someone who has become a person.
Cultural Note
In Japan, the legal age of adulthood is 20 years old, celebrated with 『成人の日』 (seijin no hi, 'Coming of Age Day') on the second Monday of January. This day honors those who have turned 20 and become adults.
