Koohii Story 1 To reach climax I doth the bidding of my dominatrix taskmaster.
Koohii Story 2 This character is used in two very high-frequency words: "you are welcome" (どう致しまして) and the honorific form of onegaishimasu (お願い致します; おねがいいたします). Can´t you just picture this ridiculously polite S&M picture? A businessman, who DOTH the bidding of his taskmistress, is climaxing and yelling out "お願い致します" while she whips and says "どう致しまして". (This kanji also means "to bring about" and "do humbly", which is perfect for this image).
