Meaning

Primary

Tashirojima

Explanation

It's an island where they use cats as a substitute for rice! Lovely Tashirojima. Don't worry, they don't eat them! ...or, wait, do they?

Reading

たしろじま

  • Kyoko(Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi(Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

This is a place name and it uses the kun'yomi. You haven't learned this particular kun'yomi for 代 yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:

When you go to Tashirojima, make sure you visit the old woman. You know what woman I'm talking about, the one who starred on Murder she wrote (しろ). She writes a lot about cats now, I guess.
