Usage notes
Most commonly written all in hiragana as よろしく. The kanji spelling is generally reserved for formal contexts.
As noted above, use as an interjection arose as a contraction of the longer phrase 宜しくお願いします (yoroshiku onegai shimasu, “please think well of me”). Also encountered as the full formal phrase どうぞ宜しくお願いします (dōzo yoroshiku onegai shimasu), and the abbreviated form どうぞ宜しく (dōzo yoroshiku).
