[edit] First section edit.

NEEDS PICTURES —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.140.93.240 (talk) 07:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I just edited the first section of this page. Since it involved deleting paragraph I thought I should explain why. First I changed "undy gundy" to wedgie or goosing since the former seems to be a fairly obscure term.

I removed the last paragraph because all content was redundant or irrelevant IMO. Goosing is now mentioned in the first part, and the "I am a Japanese School Teacher" site is already an external link. All that leaves is the Dirty Sanchez comparison which really didn't add anything useful.

[edit] DELETED Azrael's Story,

One exception is when a student of an English teacher living abroad in Japan created a fabled story where the teacher kanchoed Godzilla. To ensure that the fingers would stay clean, as Godzilla wears no clothes, the student drew the teacher, Azrael, using a rocket instead.

These kind of storys are best left to Azrael's site. Gerard Foley 20:17, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Too much information?

Several parts of this article seem to be well-intended, but over-informative, for a wikipedia entry. Specifically:

  • linking to "nachos", based on similar pronounciation
  • illustrating how to write "kanchō" in hiragana and katakana
  • explaining the the concept of homographs
  • explaining the difference between wāpuro and Hepburn romanization
  • listing the homographs of "kanchō"
  • listing words that contain "kanchō"
  • linking to the automatic translation service "used to obtain various meanings of kanchou"

These should probably be replaced with references, or removed altogether.

I've cleaned all that up by deleting most of the information you mentioned, which was dubious both in terms of relevance and accuracy; I've also removed various other irrelevancies (the "Dirty Sanchez" has nothing whatsoever in common with kancho other than that it involves both the fingers and the anus, and it doesn't really seem necessary to state that the penis is not involved in kancho). — Haeleth Talk 21:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! The new version is a vast improvement. --Piet Delport 15:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Is the link to the lotte website really relevant? Serpentes 19:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ADDED Boong-Ga Boong-Ga external link

I remembered that there is an actual arcade game based around Kancho. I added a link to an explanation site in the external links.

[edit] Other uses

The word is also used as an honorific term/title, which can be applied to high ranking martial arts masters. See http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~yoshinryu/eng-yoshinkan.html and http://www.yoshinkan-aikido.org/contents/yoshinkanaikido/kancho_biographies?language=english

That's the unrelated word 館長; this article is about 浣腸. See wiktionary:kanchō for a longer list of Japanese words pronounced this way. — Haeleth Talk 12:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to cite "I am a Japanese English Teacher"

There seems to be some question of who to attribute this link to. Its author uses the pseudonym Azrael, although I think he does refer to himself as Jeff at one point, which agrees with the full name in the whois database. I feel that his use of a pseudonym indicates he'd prefer not to have his real name publicly associated with the site. Of course, someone could just ask him.

[edit] Name in other languages?

The article lists a few other countries in which kancho'ing is done. What is the name of the practice there? These names should be mentioned and redirects set up. — BrianSmithson 18:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

We could add that it is referred to as a "Hopoate" in Australia, in honour of the rugby league player who was disgraced for doing this to opponents during tackles. DrHacky 05:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be an article on the Hopoate. Perhaps it could be merged into here? Or maybe just a link both ways would help (especially as Hopoate is an orphan article, not even linked from the "inventor"'s page. --Dreaded Walrus t c 06:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


Umm.. I'm just gonna go ahead and delete the reference to it being "saca caca" in Mexico, cause I'm a Mexican leaving in Mexico and was actually shocked something like Kancho existed, and believe me it's not something that happens here. A "saca caca" is slang for a kick that aims for the anus, yes, but just that.. a kick. Calleja (talk) 07:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

That's fine by me - I've been trying to locate verifiable sources for kancho without success and am wondering if it's just a made up thing where people stage "kancho" incidents for pictures/videos. Marc Kupper (talk) (contribs) 10:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Plavnik?

Where is the source on Michael Plavnik? I have not seen any other references to him except on Answers.com.

[edit] Korea too?

Is kancho a part of Korean culture too? I found this image on Google Images . . . . — Brian (talk) 23:29, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

D'oh. Never mind. Just read the article, and it's there already. — Brian (talk) 00:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

"In Japan, there is even a TV gameshow where a celebrity routinely kanchōs random people."
