What does Inuyasha mean?

Dog: Of course, it means dog

Yaksha: Transliteration of the evil meaning in Sanskrit, that is, a man-eating ghost. After converting to Buddhism, he protects the heavens, especially as a god. A follower of Samantha, guarding the north.

This allusion should be very clear to children who have read "Sacred Biography" or other Buddhist allusions

Mr. Takahashi What is the purpose of naming the male protagonist Inuyasha? Maybe it means "protecting"

because in the second volume, when Inuyasha said to Kagome: "In any case, I will protect you"

After that, Tie Suiya reacted and changed. Having a heart to protect the one you love most is probably the ultimate meaning of protection.

Kagome KAGGOME

The sound KAGO means "cage" in Japanese, and ME is written as "eye", which means eyes, and "slit" means "slit", which together means "cage" Seam".

It is said that there is an ancient Japanese nursery rhyme that has been circulated from the Muromachi period to the present:

Cage seam cage seam

Bird in the cage

I want to run out all the time

On that night before dawn

The moment when the crane and the turtle reunite

Who is facing you behind the scenes?

CHINAREN Takahashi Forum's article "Japanese Ballads in Inuyasha" explains as follows: This nursery rhyme was sung while playing a certain game. The child pretending to be a ghost squatted in the middle of the circle and covered his eyes. A bunch of children sing nursery rhymes around the ghost. After singing, if the child pretending to be a ghost guesses who is facing him from behind, that child will change to play the ghost. In other words, the profound meaning of the last act of this nursery rhyme is: "The person who is always behind the ghost will replace the bird in the cage as the scapegoat." This nursery rhyme is well known to all women and children in Japan. It can be seen that when Mr. Takahashi drew Inuyasha, he named the heroine KAGOME, which already hinted that he wanted to draw this story into a ghost story. If you don't understand Japanese culture, it is really difficult to understand. You won’t know it all at once.

Platycodon KIKYOU

The dictionary explanation is: "One of the seven autumn grasses, a perennial herb that grows on its own in the mountains and fields, with five blue-purple bell-shaped petals. , for viewing. "This kind of grass has many similarities with Platycodon's character. She is a cold and arrogant girl who is not afraid of the cold and is strong~~~~

Feng KAEDE

Like her elder sister, her younger sister Feng's name also comes from a plant. The original meaning of KAEDE is literally "frog hand", which vividly represents the shape of a maple leaf. The author believes that Feng is a common name

七宝 SHIPPOU

If it has a long sound, it means Qibao, if it doesn’t, it means tail.

The general name for the seven kinds of treasures in Buddhist scriptures, namely: gold, silver, colored glaze, (stone car, stone canal), rose, agate, and coral. Of course, if the Buddhist scriptures have different versions, the seven treasures recorded will be slightly different. There is also a saying that it is called "Qizhen".

It seems that coral is also one of the seven treasures

Speaking of this name, what does it mean? It may be an allusion to the cute little fox demon’s various gadgets and tricks

(But now everyone’s impression of Qibao comes more from the subtitles producer “Qibao”)

MIROKU

The transliteration of "the being of great compassion" in Sanskrit is a Bodhisattva who saves people who have never listened to Sakyamuni's teachings. After Sakyamuni's death, he returned to the human world from Tushita Heaven after 5.67 billion years.

At first glance, it seems that Maitreya is not worthy of his name. Such a lustful Maitreya~~~ However, it is true from the point of view of killing monsters, and his magic power is also very powerful, but no matter how you look at it, Maitreya The one who was redeemed in his life should be himself, because meeting Kagome, Inuyasha and his party was his greatest luck

Coral SANGO

As introduced before, it was Qibao one of them. As for what a beautiful and precious thing it is, and what a heroic girl it is, everyone should know it. She is beautiful, gentle, brave, strong, has incomparable love for her brother, and has incomparable trust in her companions~~~~~ In short, she is a treasure Yeah

 

Amber KOHAKU<

Just like Platycodon and Feng, both have names with the meaning of "treasure" to illustrate their sister-sister relationship.

Of course, amber is also a kind of treasure. The translucent and shiny stone after petrified resin can be used as decorations

SESSYOUMARU

The first meaning of killing is the literal meaning of killing. Meaning, the second meaning is cruel. It fits the personality of the adult very well. He is so cool. I like him. He is a gorgeous and handsome person.

Sesshoumaru-sama’s methods are indeed cruel, but I always feel that there is something hidden behind it. ~~~~~

As for "Maru", it is a Chinese character that Japanese people like very much. It is pronounced as "MARU" after the names of children, swords, boats, dogs, etc.

For example, Hiyoshimaru is not the monkey of Oda Nobunaga in the animated version, but the nickname of Toyotomi Hideyoshi

When Sesshomaru uses this name for adults, is it a metaphor that Sesshomaru is a monkey? Dog^_^

There is also a treasured sword~~Manwanwan that can carry a sword

Bell RIN

I was doubting whether I should use this bell The word, because the same pronunciation also has "phosphorus", but after reading the explanation, the author thinks that this word is most suitable for the little sister's name

This bell can be interpreted as a break of verses when chanting sutras. of Buddhist utensils. The author thinks that my husband named this sister Suzu, which may mean that the Suzu is the turning point for Sesshomaru-sama to change, and is the basis for Sesshomaru to be good. Is this explanation too far-fetched?

Evil views JYAKEN

Evil views, or wrong views, this little villain~~ is just a follower at best.

Mica KIRARA

The Japanese expression of mica (UMO), I still think the pronunciation of KIRARA is cuter and more in line with the image of mica

Mica Zai TV It seems to be Cui Zi's helper in the version. When I saw it cuddling next to Cui Zi, I was suddenly very moved~~~~~

MYOUGA

The meaning of this name is very interesting: I don't know Unconsciously receiving blessings from God, blessings from gods and Buddhas, or there is another explanation: incredible luck. Grandpa Mingga, this little old man who would run for his life when in danger, sometimes had good luck with the guy watching, and could escape unscathed at any time, which was different from Inuyasha who always lost in almost every battle. The latter is often penetrated by his brother Sesshomaru's poisonous claws, his hands are broken by his love rival Gangya, and the list goes on and on. It would be great if Grandpa Mingka could protect his young master one day, even if he is a little lucky. He is fine, but it seems that there is little hope, but when encountering powerful enemies of all kinds, Grandpa Mingka's "Monster Encyclopedia" head is still very useful

NARAKU

The Sanskrit transliteration of "hell" has the saying: "The bottom of Naraku", which refers to the extremely deep hell world that cannot be escaped, and also refers to a deep place where the bottom is unknown. There is no way to climb back out of the situation

Naraku's existence is undoubtedly a negative angle, and he is also like hell, and seems to have the tendency to drag everyone down. But~~~Xiao Nai, how does it feel like in hell

KAGURA

Dancing music played in front of God

This~~~ is average It is played in a shrine. It is a product of Shintoism. Does it coincide with Kagura's unique trick of which fan can make corpses dance?

One is from Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures, and the other is Shinto dance music. , no wonder they are out of tune, Kagura, the "daughter" wants to break away from her relationship with Naraku

Kanna Kanna

It is not found in the dictionary, there is only one Kannazuki, it is The elegant name of the tenth month of the lunar calendar literally means that there are no gods. This is true. In the eyes of the lawless Naraku, what are the joys of gods and Buddhas? According to Maitreya, "no", so there is no smell of monsters. The smell, no matter how much she did, she didn't notice it. This may be the explanation for "无"

It seems difficult to deal with such a expressionless and emotionless girl.
