Bleach manga question!! (Japanese version)
|
I've always assumed that Ichigo's name was written 苺 (Strawberry), since that's how they translated it. But I mentioned it once in a conversation with a friend who knows Japanese, and she said that ã„ã¡ã” (Ichigo) can also be applied to a separate set of kanji that mean "protection", which would fit in well with the series. Is Ichigo's name written in kanji or hiragana in the Japanese version? And what was the other set of kanji pronounced "ichigo" that my friend mentioned, does anybody know? |

Dude y dun u get a japanese english translation dictionary instead of asking dum questions. |
Re: Bleach manga question!! (Japanese version)

My dictionary doesn't seem to cover it. I figure it's combination of kanji, combined solely to form the name (like most other Japanese names with multiple kanji). Short answer: dictinaries don't define names. ^.^ |

i think his name certainly doesn't translate as strawberry ^^; It's probaably another kanji but another character was sort of making a joke out of the fact his name is pronounced the same way. |

episode 8-9. The one that deals with the GroundFisher and his mother's death. Ichigo said he was given the name "Ichigo" so he could protect someone. Then he says the person he wanted to protect the most was his mother. |

ichigo's name is "一护" in kanji |
Re: Bleach manga question!! (Japanese version)
|
Ichi - one Go - I dunno maybe something about protecting or stuff like that that's why his dad said ichigo was given that name so he'll protect one thing that's important to him. That's my assumption |

Thanks very much, guys!! I was trying to explain it to some friends of mine. |

I haven't seen a lot of Bleach but I'd like to know why the sword is so gigantic when he carries and it's so slender and small when Rukia carried it. Does it have something to do with their power levels? Grr X_x? |
Re: Bleach manga question!! (Japanese version)

ya.. sorta.. gotta do with the amount of "spirit energy" tt they have.. cant really remember how the anime explained it as...

Re: Bleach manga question!! (Japanese version)
|
It's because Ichigo has an unusually large amount of spiritual energy. A lot higher than Rukia's. It's also because Ichigo doesn't know his zanpaktou's name. Thus, it's just a bigger version of Rukia's zanpaktou. |

Hey I think ur right Ichigo also means strawberry. I was looking throught a japanese name dictionary and i saw it there. Also it reminds me of the anime called Ichigo100% and its about this guy who falls in love with 3 girls who wears strawberry panties.. O and how come Zangetsu looks like a giant version of a household kitchen knife? |

Dear Bleach-fans, Ano ne, at first I thought Kurosaki's name means Strawberry too, but until I read his name from the Bleach Official website and realized that was not true. '苺'- ã„ã¡ã” refers to strawberry whereas Kurosaki's given name in kanji is '一è·' means first to protect. Ano ne the word '一' means One/First whereas 'è·' refers to Escort/Nursing/Protection. I'm sorry if the explanation might get a little confusing... ja mata ne, mi-chan

It would be common to think it means Strawberry, but as for Japanese names, "Ichi" is extremly common in male names. (when I first watched it on TV I thought his name was 一郎 which is Ichiro (same as 鈴木一郎)but In a few of the Game Commercials and I belive sometime when he is fighting æ‹å— it showed his kanji, which is as Chidoriochibi stated, is 黒崎一è·. By the way, Ichigo's fathers name is 一心 |

Hi Chimie-san, Hee...hee, when you mentioned that Kurosaki's father name is '一心', does he has any brother by the name of '一æ„' Haha, one heart and one will, sugoi desu ne, plus one to protect '一è·'. Welcome to the 'ã„ã¡ã„ã¡' 一æ—, just kidding :P Ja mata ne, mi-chan
