Ouija
The japanese version of the Ouija Board is called Kokkuri San.
Two girls, sitting across from each other over a paper scrawled with the hiragana alphabet grasp a pen between them, chanting the name softly. “Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san, tell me, when is the date of my death?”
The question hangs in the air as the pen slowly begins to move, spelling the answer out on the sheet of paper. The rest of the group watches in breathless anticipation.
Kokkuri-san, Japan’s answer to the Ouija board, has graced schoolrooms across the country for years with answers from the beyond.
In this game, the hiragana alphabet is drawn on a piece of paper, and two people hold a pen, ballpoint touching the paper, in the center.
Closing their eyes, they ask “Kokkuri-san” a question, and the spirit is supposed to move the pen in an answer.
According to a Japanese friend, much like Ouija, most people realize that the other person is moving the pen purposefully, but everyone makes their dutiful squeals of “sugoi!” and “kowaii!” anyway.
Also, in line with its Ouija board counterpart, the game has been subject fodder for horror movies such as the aforementioned “Shinsei no Toilet no Hanako-san,” and one called simply “Kokkuri-san.”

omg!Ouija boards are so creepy that a ghost comes out of it.
i think you should have specified that “sugoi” means cool and “kowaii” means scary for people who don’t know. still, this is so awesome!
OMG I had a Ouija board in my classroom last year and kids would play with it at recess and one of my friends said: “When Is Sam going to die and how?” (I’m Sam) And the this moved around and spelt out: “80 years old of a head concusion.” Soo now I’m really scared of Ouija boards
Dear SammieRoxURSox24,
Do not worry, spirits are bored and some very cheeky. They will pretend to be something they are not to mess with you. Also if you heard that from one of you’re ‘friends’ told you this then it is defornetly not true. Remember sprtits are bored and like a joke as they would if they were living.
i seen one at target i was scared that someone will get it
This can be seen on the game “The World Ends With You”
But instead its not typically used with a pen its mostly used with a coin of some sort like a 100 yen
