Interesting Fact

Japan's Ōkunoshima, famously known as "Rabbit Island," is home to hundreds of free-roaming rabbits. Yet one question remains: where did they all come from? Many visitors assume they are descendants of animals used at the island's wartime poison gas facility, but historians largely reject that theory. The most likely explanation is much simpler: a handful of rabbits released decades ago multiplied into the rabbit-filled island seen today.

Memory Trick

A Person slightly opens the Box, and find another box inside and shouts in dramatic anime sound, Naniii !! Bonus: δΊ» is another common radical of person kanji.
