According to this page: http://www.thejapanesepage.com/hka.htm the stroke order for the 'ka' is different...

I learned in elementary school: curve-line → slash → spot, and I think you can write better in this way. But the stroke order is not so important...(if you can write well, that's ok) --Brevam 03:41, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I learned sweeping curve, vertical line, dot. Also, GO is next to KO, as well as in the alternate section near GE, etc. I think the one near KO is unneeded and identical.

Mneumonic for Ko
It seems a little more complicated than it needs to be. Why not leave out the "far away, closer to you" stuff? That's not relevant for remembering the two lines being start and finish lines and "Go!" I'm going to edit it to make it simpler, but if there's some reason for the additional complexity feel free to revert. --Anonymous 2008/01/08


 * Nevermind. I see that it was all because of the "tail" on the top line; but it's a very confusing mneumonic. It should probably be rewritten. In any case, I'm just going to ignore all that stuff and just remember "Go!"
