For those who don't know, the movie Lilo and Stitch it was made by Disney and released in 2002 and was a big part of my childhood. Since then we have had other films and series in the franchise. But personally I was unaware of the anime until the date of this article.

In the original series, an alien pet lands on the island of Hawaii and a little girl named Lilo begins to raise him. In the film we see several references to Elvis and also the traditional culture of Hawaii.

In the Japanese anime, the story takes place 10 years after Okinawa, where Stitch meets a girl named Yuna. In the anime we see several references to Okinawan culture.

In the original series, the protagonists mention the word Ohana several times, which in Hawaiian culture means family, but is far beyond blood bond and can represent Friendship. In the same way the film says that family can never abandon or forget.

In the Japanese version, we have the word Ichariba-Choode which takes its name from the first episode of the anime, in addition to being quite pronounced by Stitch, even becoming a song by Yuna.

The proverb "Ichariba-Choode” mentioned in the anime by Stitch means “although we only met once, even by chance, we are friends forever.”. There is also a song with that name within the anime.

Ichariba Choode Song Lyrics Sung by Yuna:

 Were surrounded by the ocean and the sky is always blue our good deeds are rewarded our dreams are coming true on your journey through life friends will help you each day knowing you can always count on them will guide you on the way Ichariba Chode We are one big family and we will always be just like cousins you can count on me.
