Mnemonic

You want to introduce yourself to the Shougun (しょう) but no matter how much you call out, he won't come close enough for you to tie your introduction thread to him. You call louder and louder, "SHOUGUN LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF!"

Hints

Finally the Shougun sighs and turns toward you. You call out your name and get the thread around him. Uh oh. He doesn't look happy.
