| Koohii Story 1 | To keep this distinct from other kanji such as "watchtower" and "pagoda", I use the mnemonic "towering tower". -- In some old 8-bit kung-fu videogame, with a plot similar as Bruce Lee´s last, unfinished movie, the hero must break through a gate at each level of the towering tower, fighting with opponents using various styles of kung-fu until he meets the finale at the topmost level of the "towering tower". |
| Koohii Story 2 | Remember the two towers from lord of the rings... each has it´s own - very difficult to master - entrance gate. |
