- 倣う — to imitate; to follow as a model
- A に倣って — following the example of A
- 模倣 — imitation; copying a style or method

The kanji 倣 combines the person radical 亻 with the element 方, which can mean “direction” or “way.” Together they suggest a person following someone else’s way — copying a style, method, or behavior. That’s why 倣 appears in words about imitation and modeling yourself after a good example.
