Hari Kari is NOT Japaneese! It came from the movie "Carrie" starring Sissy Specek back in the late 70's or early 80's. She played a physco girl who was possessed and did mean things to her friends and family. Hari Kari does not mean suscide. It just means to do something scary to sombody else.

Because Westerns don't find the correct word, Seppuku cool, rhyming slang as always been more hip - - - but Hari Kari is both a term for suicide and the name of the guy running the fish fry on Pier whatever in San Fran -- --- Peace.

Seppuku with ritual attire and second (staged)
General Akashi Gidayu preparing to commit Seppuku after losing a battle for his master in 1582. He had just written his death poem, which is also visible in the upper right corner.Seppuku (Japanese: 切腹, "stomach-cutting" or "belly slicing") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku is also known in English as hara-kiri (腹切り) and is written with the same kanji as seppuku but in reverse order with an okurigana. In Japanese, 'hara-kiri' is not in common usage, the term being regarded as gross and vulgar. The practice of committing seppuku at the death of one's master is known as oibara (追腹 or 追い腹) or junshi (殉死); the ritual is similar.
