Recently I bought the Channel (Japan TV) and today I was watching "こどもニューズ" and they showed a kanji. I could write it because I knew the radicals and they said the word. Only it was only one reading. I looked it up on a kanji search engine and found... out of the 3205 kanji on it... it was not one... I looked up what it was and so to show you and help you read it, here it is. For extra learning

鰆 さわら
魚(さかな)+春(はる)=鰆(さわら)

Japanese Spanish Mackerel (Scromberomorus Niphonius)

Yay for the use of こ(う) こい こい(しい)! Who knew that love could be so complicated?? In case people are wondering the meaning of that kanji means: in love/yearn for/miss/darling heart blaugh
