Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Walk in my footsteps! Imagine a person walking behind another, following their path. This radical brings the energy of following, chasing, and gradual movement to a kanji. When you see it, think of a sequence, a trailer, or a change that follows another event. It's the radical of the "follower."”
Where it sits in a kanji
