I read this words In some japanese dramas (it appears to be an english words often used in sport activities)

The answer to the question "what does it mean?"for japanese players is this:

Hut-two, hut two. Groups of joggers can frequently be heard using this English word like a kind of mantra during physical activity. Sometimes pronounced like "fight-oh".

"fight-oh" is the katakana pronounciation for ファイト, or FAITO. It basically means to fight, but usually not the physical/with fists type of fighting. Fight more likely means to do your best, such as in athletics, in school, or in your personal life.

I think you're trying to say "fight-on", which here in the US means bassicly to start the game. If its a fighting match, yeah, it means to start the fight but this same concept can be used for any activity to replace "start". Fight-on has a much more masculan sound to it vs. start, hence why some are using it.

I'm watching Sekachu now and the boys keep repeating that and the melody gets stuck in my head~~
ファイトファイト～XD
I guess it makes more sense to say faito instead of 'ganbatte' ^^;;

think of a sports meet when everyone on the team puts their hands together, says a little cheer and end with "BREAK!" or "FIGHT" or "WIN!"
although its much cuter when it is Yankumi by herself.

Basically... Fighto just means fight. Its a friendly cheer. in japanese

its cause there is no T ending sound. there is TO, so instead of FIGHT its FIGHTO with a TO at the end.

i'm relieved. i thought i would have to scour 80 million kdramas to figure out why everyone keeps saying "fighting!!" all the time.

oops! ok, what is the 'aja aja' part about???

Do you guys know which japanese drama first started saying fight-oh and which korean one first started saying aja aja fighting...I think for k-dramas it was full house or full house that made it popular...correct me if i'm wrong?

It's basically something you say to cheer someone on..

E.g. (Gambatte - Japanese) (Ah-ja ah-ja fighting - korean) (Jia you - mandarin)
