Memory Hook

Imagine a 'full' belly after a big meal — 'full' sounds like 'fuku' in Japanese, but think of 『腹』 (hara, 'belly') as where you feel full. 'Full belly' → 腹 (hara, 'belly').

Cultural Note

In Japanese culture, 『腹』 (hara, 'belly') is often associated with emotions and determination. Phrases like 『腹が立つ』 (hara ga tatsu, 'to get angry') literally mean 'belly stands up,' showing how feelings are linked to the stomach area.
