✊✋✌️ Janken = 'jan' (crash, like a clash of hands) + 'ken' (fist): a fist-clash game, rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock.
Japanese 'jan' echoes the sound of hands clashing on the count. 'Ken' means fist, and the three hand shapes are the 拳 (rock), 鋏 (scissors), and 紙 (paper).
