Derived transliterally from the Japanese word 'Katapan' which is a combined form of two words 'Kata' meaning shoulders and 'Pan' which comes from the english word 'Punch' meaning the act of hitting an object with closed fist.
A lot of ignorant, dumb, spoiled, and ego-boosted, kids from 12-18 of age who think they are really bad-ass and the center of attention play this so called 'game'.
This game is practiced almost everywhere in schools, homes, facilities, outdoors, private or public in Japan. It is more common though, in places like an All-Boys Catholic School, eg. St. Mary's International Schools of Abundant Guys. Seeing dumb, hyper kids playing Katapan on the streets often says a lot about their mentality level and undeveloped human nature.
The game is really simple. Two kids usually get together to punch each other's shoulder while taking turns. Whoever can bare more pain usually wins.
Simply said; 'Dumbass Game'
Look at those two hopeless fucker....
Are they playing Katapan?
Amen

katakana 

It is a Japanese syllabary alphabet used to spell out foreign, now mostly English words. Consists of approx. 45 syllables, which can be further modified with accents "=b and °=p, prolongations (nigori) and smaller versions of vowels, ya-yu-yo and tsu. It doesn't allow for an exact transliteration, thus introducing a thick Japanese accent.

1. The romantic shipping of Aang, the Avatar, and Katara, the last waterbender from the South Pole, from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Kataang will ALWAYS be better than Zutara because a) Aang is the Avatar, master of ALL elements, including romance, b) Zuko loves Mai, and c) Katara is not stupid.

A fusion of Katara and Aang, main characters in the animated series, Avatar:The Last Airbender. The term is used by fans of the romantic pairing of these particular characters, although their relationship was not initially portrayed as romantic in the show, at least not mutually as Katara seemed more of a mother figure to Aang while he had an obvious crush on her. Future episodes may reveal if Katara reciprocates Aang's feelings, as it is yet unclear.
Katara + Aang = Kataang
Kataangers - fans of the relationship
kataang by angelstella July 20, 2006
A shipping pair for Avatar the Last Airbender. Places main characters Aang, 12, and Katara, 14, in an adult relationship. People who ship it are either little kids or pedos. Pairing enjoys fluff, Oedipus complexes, rape kisses, stalking, and small peens. Because of Aang's infatuation with Katara, he becomes very possessive to the point of even killing those that look at Katara. Kataang becomes canon after very little development, which was all one sided. It only became canon because it was Bryke's "soft spot."
Pedo bear likes Kataang.

Aang: I got the girl cause Bryke loves me.
