hi,
i am sorry if this question was already posted. i researched the forum but couldn't find anything.
i watched "moon child" for the first time a few days ago ( yes i know, it's an older film and i should have watched it much sooner *lol* ). i wanted to know if someone can tell me what kei in english means...the name of the vampire portrayed by hyde. i looked in my japanese dictionary and there was only one translation for kei : punishment, sentence. then i googled it and one site for students of the japanese language had a lot of meanings one was "light" which i think would also fit the character, since vampires all seem to long for the light but yet it kills them.
so now my 2 question
1)what would be the best english translation for his name in the film ?
2) does anyone have a nice kanji version of the name kei that he / she can show me ? maybe insert a link or picture ? it should be big enough to see because to be quite honest , i have a hard time to decipher kanji symbols when they are written on a computer keyboard. they are too small.
i am sure, for someone who speaks japanese, is japanese and has seen the original film / the original movie poster or an article about the film in a japanese magazine could help me !
thanks so much for your help !!
