Denki Anma Attack

Posted on 15. May, 2007 @ 2:18 pm by harvey in Culture, Humor

Yes. This is culture. Japanese Doritos?

Denki Anma is a technique, if you will, that was popular in Japan among elementary school kids approximately 15-20 years ago.

Much like the picture, one person will grab the others legs, and place their foot in the others crotch.

The foot is then jiggled, causing discomfort, and getting a hearty laugh(?) from the other.

The Denki Anma technique was used on female and male victims indiscriminately.

An “Anma”, is a type of electronic massage device, you can find them built into chairs at onsen and similar places.

The denki anma should be brought back. Or, “resurrected” if you will.

Please practice this at home, in you respective countries.

    Along with “kancho” I practice “denki anma” everywhere with strangers, I wonder if that’s the reason why I don’t have friends…
