Ninja Forever

[Kon-Tiki]

Omochi? That's a japanese term designating a rice cake.

Uhhh, got it from a book. 'Stupeur et tremblements' by Am

If you want to choose a name of a previous ninja/samurai/funny hat guy then you have an infinite list of names...If you want it to be a name of some real ninja I definitely suggest Hanzo(that's the first name in "your" order). I have always though that Hattori Hanzo's story is fascinating and I have made an RPG-character called Hanzo(actually in japanese you write it "hanzou" but the last 'u' means the 'o' is pronounced as long). I think a name of any real character would be good, except Ishikawa Goemon^^;He is all used up.

Or just go wackety wacky and make up a name using japanese words like "Yagoi"=scorpion, if I remember right, animals aren't the most important thing in my studies^^;. I think that sounds also a little bit like a name. One of my hobbies is to write fantasy stories and in one the main character is called Yagoi Hebiroku.

[SGreenslade]

omochi is fine kon-tiki...in Stupeur et tremblements Amelie Nothomb mentions that a rice cake is called Omochi. After the narrator gets fired from Yumimoto and goes to the New Year party, she no longer has that interest in rice cakes she had before because she's afraid one is going to say "Amelie-san" in the voice of the vice-president and laugh. Dunno how you could have missed that, it was in the book. That's where I got the definition from anyway.

I have a few names:

Musashi

Masamune

Muramasa

Kiyomori

Yoshitomo

Tokiwa (female)

Yoshitsune

Benkei

Antoku

Toyotomi

Oda

Miyamoto

Musashi


A note about Japenese names:
              "In Japan, it is customary for the surname, or family name, to go first, followed by the given name. Minamoto, for example, is a family name-like Smith, while Yoritomo is a given name.Often, given names in a Japenese family begin with the same sound, like Yori or Yoshi. A comparable example in English would be a family of Smiths who named their children "Smith Joanne," "Smith Joseph," and Smith Jody." "   - Secrets of the Samurai, by Carol Gaskin  (has Ninja stuff too. I recommend it)

I think some names like Miyamoto Musashi and Hattori Hanzou are all too abvious names or a ninja except if the game is about them. If you are going to make a character, maybe an evil one, who is not too bright, I suggest Mr.Mori^^;(no offense here)But I got the idea that you have the names already.

[Kon-Tiki]

Yup, already got names (using a translator and putting different words together )
E.g.:
Dai seems to be a prefix for 'big/great'
Jaaku means 'Jerk'
Daijaaku ==
