After a year marked by the exploits of Shohei Ohtani and a spate of robberies, the kanji “kin” (金), which means gold or money, was selected by the public Thursday as the character that best represents 2024.
'Kin' selected as the kanji of 2024 after strong year for Japanese athletes
The choice also reflected the Liberal Democratic Party’s slush-fund scandal and the spate of robberies involving shady part-time jobs.
