class="friend-comment" cid="d1247fb23a004ad98bb5ef76eae64f69"><p> I&#8217;ve named our PCs after anime characters before.  I&#8217;ve also named them after Temari patterns (usually flowers in Japanese like &quot;kiku&quot; for &quot;chrysanthemum&quot;), and words that I like in Japanese (like &quot;kawaii&quot; meaning &quot;extremely cute&quot;).  Most recently I just started naming them after Aikido techniques (&quot;ikkyo&quot; and &quot;nikkyo&quot;: &quot;first technique&quot; and &quot;second technique&quot;, for instance). Japanese is fun because it makes everything sound cool. &#8211; <a
