Rain frog (アマガエル 雨蛙 Ama Gaeru)

This is a persimmon which was in her parents' garden.
Could you find out a being on the leaf?

Yes, it's a rain frog. Rain means "雨", Frog means "蛙".
In case of individual Kanji , "雨" and "蛙".

We can pronounce [Ame ; 雨] and [Kaeru ; 蛙]。

But when the both Kanji join together "雨蛙".
We have to pronounce it "Ama Gaeru"

Hi, I am Ama Gaeru, Rain frog, "雨蛙", "アマガエル", "あまがえる"。
