Japanese names are great. They are so much more interesting than English and Western ones in general for that matter. My helper at the schools surname is Terayama which means Temple Mountain and it just gets better from there.

My favourite baseball player for the mighty Hanshin Tigers is Akahoshi which means Red Star. It`s as if they were all given Dances With Wolves Indian names. “You want medicine for axe cut?” You go see Ringing bell Temple Mountain.” etc. etc.
