Why do Japanese eat katsu-don before a match?
Katsu (カツ), is a famous Japanese dish which generally refers to any kind of a deep-fried meat. Even though it is commonly understood as a tonkatsu (豚カツ, pork cutlet), sometimes it can also be understood as a torikatsu (鳥カツ, chicken cutlet).
The word 'katsu' itself can also be written in a different way as 勝つ, which is read in exactly the same say (a homophone).
Katsu (勝つ) means "to win" or "to gain victory". (e.g. 試合に勝つ!, shiai ni katsu! = I'll win the game!)
This is why Japanese sportsmen eat katsu-don (カツ丼 = a rice bowl topped with deep-fried meat) the day before a big match. Japanese students do the same too before taking big tests or school entrance examinations.
So,, it is OK to say:
A katsu-don (カツ丼 = rice bowl with cutlet) is
a katsu-don (勝つ丼 = winning rice bowl).
Do you know that the famous finger-snack Kit-Kat, is called "kitto-katsu (キットカツ)" in Japanese?
Kitto-Katsu, can also be written as きっと勝つ, which means "definitely win!"
