My real name isn't Japanese, it's a combination of the first name of my dad (Joselito) and a famous Filipino film score composer (Ryan Cayabyab). My user name, of course, is named after Japan's moast famous Akita, Hachiko, as well as the statue in his honor in Shibuya. :)

Ohhh. The closest I can get to that is Yoshiro (when converted phonetically), or Taka, which means "tall, and honorable." Joseph, wich turns to Jose, which is the main part of my name means "God will increase." Ryan means "little king." A little king will grow to be honorable. Hence, Taka.

There have been many anime/manga characters whose first names are Taka. One of them is Sukunami Taka, who became Tamahome in Fushigi Yuugi.
