Im confused so are you saying those are Japanese symbols because im pretty sure its Chinese. I dont speak either but im pretty sure thats what it is. Or were you agreeing with me in a joking way? Sorry vvveeerrryyyy long day today. Its 1:06 am been up since 5:15am and im still playing around in the garage waiting for my damn saudering iron to heat up.

I think I can clarify. They look like Chinese because its Japanese kanji. Kanji are the adopted logographic Chinese characters (hanzi) that are used in
the modern Japanese writing system
