[3-Minute Essay] Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy

This is about when I was uploading yesterday's article.

It happened on the screen where I set the hashtags after finishing the writing.

Characters that appear frequently in the text catch my eye as recommended tag suggestions.

Hitotarawo

That's my account name, you see.

Many of the people reading my articles know this account is "Hitotarawo" when they read it.

Even so, I thought there was no need to go out of my way to set it as a tag.

That said, maybe there's a possibility that someone has already added it as a tag...

Holding onto a faint hope, I tried selecting Hitotarawo.

Wait... no way...

Then, to my surprise, it hit on as many as 61 items 😭

The second one from the top, the tag "Thank you Hitotarawo-san", has 28 items too ❤︎

I'm the one who should be thanking you for making me the subject of your posts.

I can only think you're trying to make me cry.

I mean, I did cry 😢

The third one, "Hitotarawo-san", has 17 items.

They must be kind people who were considerate enough not to just call me by my name without an honorific 😍

I looked through them with a smile.

From the next one on, the teasing completely begins.

I'm honestly surprised to be targeted by hashtags😱

“Hitotarawo Syndrome“

Um, what kind of syndrome is that?🤔

“Let's get Hitotarawo to buy it“

I think it's from a project to buy paid articles, so I get this🙂‍↕️

“Hitotarawo-ism“

What is this 'ism' thing...

I assume it means a way of thinking or something like that...

And it seems it's already been deleted😅

“Hitotarawo Land“

It's basically a theme park now😂

“Hitotarawoooo“

Don't scream in hashtags🤣

By the way, even if you search for 'Hitotarawo' on the top page, my articles don't show up at all.

The articles of everyone who introduced me show up in droves (thank you♡), and the Hitotarawo account was buried in a funny way🤭

Regarding the account name, I actually wanted to make itHitotarao instead of Hitotarawo.

However, if I used 'Tarao', I would be completely defeated by a Tarao who is more famous nationwide than I am.

Thanks to that, the chances of anyone finding this account even if they search for it are infinitely low.

Because of Tarao, who appears in a national anime, I ended up having to compromise.

I operate as Hitotarao, but I still continue to view Tarao as my rival.

Just to test it out, I looked it up on Yahoo, where you can see search volume, and there were 191,000 results.

I'm really glad I didn't pick a fight with something like that.

I wouldn't stand a chance.

Unfortunately, it's a total defeat🏳️

Just in case, I searched for Hitotarao on Yahoo as well.

At 2,870 results, it was more than I thought.

But compared to Tarao, it's not even on the same level.

I was treating him as a rival on my own, but there's a world of difference between us.

That said, that Tarao is just an anime character.

There's no way he's going to jump out of the anime and start posting on note.

Just to be sure, I'll search for Tarao in the note search bar.

Isn't Tarao appearing in massive numbers on note‼️

(This pattern was well-received before, so I'll include it in the related articles😘)

There are so many Taraos that I can't even show them all here.

Man, I'm really glad I didn't go with 'Hitotarao'.

It would have been completely buried within note, too.

There were so many Taraos, but I'll introduce the accounts that particularly caught my eye.

Just in case it causes any trouble for the people involved, I've hidden their IDs.

A tipster!!!!!

It reeks of gambling.

Though, there's a possibility it has nothing to do with the Tarao I know.

Boat race tips are the foundation 😂

That's gotta be intentional, right!

They clearly state that boat race tips are their foundation.

It says weekends only, but he only appears on Sundays.

It's not impossible that this guy has nothing to do with the Tarao I know either.

Tarao is in the icon 😂😂😂

There's no way to talk your way out of this one, right?

Plus, this one seems to be about bicycle racing; these guys are all about gambling 🤣

He's calling him 'Katsuo-niichan' (Big Brother Katsuo) 😂😂😂

It's just so endlessly like the Tarao I know...

Tipsters, motorboat racing, keirin, horse racing—it's at a level where I want to suspect an addiction🤣

The clincher is this person.

Tarao Fuguta🤣🤣🤣

I really want to believe this is the exact same person.

I'd like to post this person's bio, but I can't do it without permission, so I'd like you to see it if possible.

They live in Bangkok, Thailand, and flat out say they won't be returning to Japan for a while😳

I just assumed the Tarao Fuguta I knew was in Japan.

Huh?

Looks like I've done it again.

It's become an article where the meaning of what I wanted to say is unclear.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy feels a bit like love.

That's too forced, it's a stretch...

Oh dear, oh dear.
