Kumizone (ConceptTopic, 9)

TL;DR: Kawachan is a bad joke shop, not a wiki.
Kawachan is the website which you are reading right now. It was originally known as Kumizone, as it was only part of the Kawachan website, but slowly grew to take over the whole domain, at which point the two separate names didn't make sense, hence the renaming. Kawachan was named after Kawase, and was initially created as a Kusaba chan board, whereas Kumizone was named after another of Kawase's nicknames, with the "zone" being a long-since-forgotten pun on the Sonic series.
Kumizone came about on February 18, 2008. It was originally intended to be a parody of ED, though over time it devolved into a place to write about whatever rubbish some bored people pull out of thin air on a sleepless night. Though it was born from a hilarious MSN multiconvo between Kawase, Keiji, Sara and James, the latter two didn't stick around due to being way too busy, and Kawase eventually shied away later. Recently, the more active users are User:KasaneTeto, User:Chao, User:Neko Kohaku and of course User:Keiji.
Although the name Kumizone has long since faded into obscurity, the term Kumizonian remains... mostly because "Kawachanian" would just sound silly.
One word story
The one word story is a free, online, instant-access non-game created by Team Ikaria. It is the sauce of much win on this site. On April 4, 2009, the one word story from was transferred from Team Ikaria to Kawachan as it fits better here, and as all Dumbledore content needs to eventually be moved to Gollum.
Unfortunately, due to not actually being used by sensible people (And only one person known to use it), it's now full of crap. It might be rebooted one day, but it's not a priority.
