With all of the Pokemon fans on this site, I thought for sure this one would be gotten pretty fast. Ryukyu is an island chain south of Japan. If anyone were to know that, I'm sure the answer would be obvious.
---

Blue Category [1]
1 - Hello Kitty
2 - Rumiko Takahashi
3 - Boku is a masculine pronoun, whereas Watashi is gender neutral, however it can still be seen as strange for a guy to use it.
4 - Scary

Green Category [2]
2 - Ganguro

Yellow Category [3]
1 - I think it's 2511? I was never very good at putting those together to form a full number.

So not especially so. I am okay with that.

Edit: Only looked at other posts after answering... why are other people not spoiler tagging theirs?
---

6 Weeb points Hitty. Nice try!

A lot of the other things, I have some basic prior knowledge of, but not enough to actually answer the question. Like Orange 3 and 4 (I remember hearing about it when it happened, and even some of her roles, but not her name).

There are a lot of terms for me and you depending on how polite you want to be and who you're addressing but the most generic term that you would use with strangers is watashi for I/me and anata for you. The Pokemon thing has to be before Gen V so I'm just going to guess Kanto because that's an actual region.

Could have at least gotten 1 if it was specified wearing a bow :(
