do you know the meaning of "Satoshi"?

From the reaction to my past article, I learned that many foreign people know the information of Japanese anime relating with Japanese language.

So, today, I'd like to explain about more deep knowledge.

That is, the meaning of Satoshi's name.

(As you know, Satoshi is the character of Pokemon.)

1) First name in Japan

In Japan, when people give a name to a child, they consider about the meaning of his or her name.

And the meaning of the name comes from its characteristic, which is known as KANJI !

2) How to write Satoshi in Kanji?

We can know the meaning of his name when we see the Kanji of it.

However, there is a little problem.

In Japan, Satoshi is written in KATAKANA, which stand for just its pronunciation...

...Don't worry. Then, we can try to detect it!

3) Let's detect!

Actually, Satoshi is very popular name in Japan.

(I have 3 friends whose name is Satoshi!)

And it can be written in certain ways, which is

聡史、彗、悟志

聡史 and 彗 means "this boy is clever."

悟志 means "this boy has good taste."

Then, you may think that his name is 悟志.

However, I think his name is 彗.

Because, 彗 is used by a word "彗星," which means comet.

And then, this name can express "this boy is speedy and cool like a comet!"

Of course, this is just my opinion. 

When you want to know about other character's name, please leave a comment!

Thank you^_^
