<p>So when I first saw <em>Naruto</em> seeing the scene where Kikashi uses his "1000 Years of Pain" on Naruto when he tried to get everyone's lunches when Kakashi isn't looking i thought this was just some joke made up in Naruto.</p>

<p>the other day watching <em>A Lull in the Sea</em> in Episode 15 I Saw Hikari chasing Ikari's son doing the same thing saying "kanchou kanchou" and telling Ikari he was going to give him "3 years of Pain". i also seems to remember seeing Ikari's son do it do someone</p>

<p>Both Hikari and Kikashi do mostly the same thing, they clasp their hands together with their index finger pointed out and poke their target in the butt</p>

<p>Now i am wondering where this poking someone in the butt originate from? Is <em>A Lull in the Sea</em> getting it from <em>Naruto</em> or is it from something else in Japanese culture</p>

It is actually a Japanese prank known as kancho.

From the Wikipedia article on [Kancho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho).

> Kanchō (カンチョー) is a Japanese prank performed by clasping the hands together in the shape of an imaginary gun and attempting to poke an unsuspecting victim's anus, often while exclaiming "Kan-CHO!".
>
> The word is a slang adoption of the Japanese word for enema (浣腸 kanchō).

According to [Naruto Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/One_Thousand_Years_of_Death):

> This technique's full name is "Konohagakure Hiden Secret Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years of Death" (木ノ葉隠れ秘伝体術奥義・千年殺し, Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi, Viz: Konohagakure's Most Secret and Sacred Technique: One Thousand Years of Death, English TV: Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death, UK DVD: Secret Ninja Technique of the Hidden Leaf School, Death for 1000 Years, English Games "Sacred Taijutsu: 1000 Years of Death").

It is mentioned that [Akira Shiotome](http://naginoasukara.wikia.com/wiki/Akira_Shiotome) (Miuna's brother) loves playing kancho:

> He enjoys playing kancho with Hikari Sakishima and Shun Sayama and after Manaka awakens, the two enjoy playing with each other.

Also, [in the scene where Akira played the prank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EglbeKYlg88) in the 15th episode of Nagi no Asakura, he only said "Kancho". The person who subbed it in English probably wrote it as "# years of pain" as a tribute to Naruto.
