Memory Hook

Think of a cheek that's so soft, you say 'Hoho!' (頬 hoho sounds like 'ho ho' laughter) — cheeks puff out when you laugh! 'Hoho' → 頬 (hoho, 'cheek').

Cultural Note

In Japan, cheeks are often mentioned in expressions like 『頬が赤い』 (hoho ga akai, 'cheeks are red') to describe blushing from embarrassment or cold. It's a common feature in anime and manga to show emotions.
