- Made up of the ideogram "Ki" (means energy or spirit) and the ideogram "Ai" (means matching or union)
- KiAi means "working with Ki" or "harmonizing Ki" or "uniting the spirit."
- Powerful vibrations that paralyze the adversary for a brief instant.
- Start from the hara (the lower abdomen or intestines - the ocean of energy), not the throat - observe like a cat meows or a lion roars
- One cry, one instant containing all space-time, the whole cosmos. (Taisen Deshimaru)
