The word Japa emanates from the deepest part of the remnants of the great Oduduwa tribe popularly known as Yoruba. It is coined from two popular words, JA meaning to run and PA meaning to give emphasis and importance to Yoruba words.

Popularly used to depict the manner and nature in which an individual elopes from difficult environment or nations such as Nigeria. But also finds usage in escaping or disappearing swiftly from a dangerous situation.

The word Japa has become a popular slang among the habitants of Nigeria and other parts of the world where you find these homo sapiens called Nigerians and many businesses and trademarks have been born out of it most notably study2japa.com.

It is evident that this is a slang that has come to stay and one that everyone hopes to use on day in this way. "I have finally JAPA from the clutches of Nigeria"

Japas is one of the characters in the game Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. He is a Zora, and he plays bass in the band The Indigo-Go's. He's a laid back, relaxed guy whose long "hair" (which is really fins) is styled like that of a typical grunge rocker. He frequently held jam sessions with Mikau, guitarist of The Indigo-Go's, before he died, and once Link gets the Zora Mask, he (Link) can embody the spirit of Mikau and play with Japas.
Japas is amazing and you know it.
