Japanese wordplay information


Japanese wordplay relies on the nuances of the Japanese language and Japanese script for humorous effect. Double entendres have a rich history in Japanese entertainment (such as in kakekotoba)[1] due to the language's large number of homographs (different meanings for a given spelling) and homophones (different meanings for a given pronunciation).
