RTK works by linking each kanji with a unique keyword so your brain learns to distinguish them individually and stop treating them as "blurry scribble that probably reads like XX... probably".

Ok. (I'll get to my point in a while, just hear me out first.)

I'm not a beginner, I did Heisig when I first started learning japa but I burned out eventually. After that I just moved on.

That said, I do like how "memorable" some kanji still are, the ones I do remember from way back. I just can't seem to forget those and I instantly recognize them. I also NEVER confuse those with anything else, contrary to some others.
Therefore I decided to do Heisig again, which should be a lot easier now (mainly cause I'm no longer an idiot with "1 10" anki steps and 0% lapse modifier).

>get to japanese judas-tree
>google it out of curiosity (and to get a mental picture of wtf that was)
>it's how you write Katsura's name
>probably won't forget it from now on

So, here's where I'm getting at:
What if I changed "japanese judas-tree" to a picture of Katsura (or just his name or something)?
The need for me to reproduce the kanji from memory would still be there.
Why not change 憂 to a picture of Tanaka Aiko?
Why not change 妙 to a picture of Araki?
Why not change 漢 into MOTHERFUCKING KAMINA!

Thoughts?
