Need a word or phrase translated?

That's much easier to see.

The wire blocked part of a character, that should be from the "Rousoku Tanker Corporation". Makes more sense, as it was a gift to Esso Standard.
 
On the edge of the art frame are these figures in pencil (which I enhanced.) Does this make sense or help?

平瀬啓三
Hirase (family name) Keizō (male given name)

It's most likely the artist's name. According to the site linked below, Hirase was a painter and violinist in Kyoto.

アイ アム ア カントウ ガイジン
I would love to say I knew what it was instantly, but actually I thought it was Rousoku myself. Google set me straight, as it does so many times.

Given that it was obviously a transportation company and 速 isn't an uncommon kanji to see in that context, it never even crossed my mind to google it. Now I see why the license plates from the all say なにわ instead of using kanji.
 
What kind of deity would a fictional god titled "Jūgami" (じゅうがみ) be?
googles guess would be "god of guns".

If it isn't close enough to intuitively mean "God of Beasts", could you provide an alternative?
I'm interested in correlating real Kami, but for my purpose only (fictional) ones with the role included in their title/name will do.

Thanks in advance!

PS.: If I am being ignorant or misconceiving about anything here please enlighten me as much as you can!

Edit: I don't really like "Kemonogami"
But if there is nothing else I'll take it.
 
獣神 means "God of Beasts", but the common reading is "Jūshin" or "Jūjin", not "Jūgami".
 
So it is 獣神 !
Splendid, i like it! Thanks for your help!

What about 野獣神?
 
The reading is "Yajūshin" or "Yajūjin", meaning "God of Wild Beasts", but it's less common than 獣神.
 
Allright, thank you verry much again!
One last question. Although I do not assume so, does any of this change with the gender of the deity?
 
女獣神 "Mejūshin / Onnajūshin" means "Goddess of Beasts".
 
hello! could someone please translate the writing on the crewneck please?

"Intuitive"? Surely you are being ironic.

A Mickey Mouse shirt, with writing in English on the sleeves saying "Mickey Mouse"....
Can you perhaps intuit what the Japanese says?

The Naniwa I was familiar with was 難波. 浪速 is a new one to me.
Perhaps the use of hiragana on the license plates reflects the fact that there are multiple ways to write this name with kanji.
By the way, here is one dictionary's discussion of the origin of the name (as usual with a name so old, there are numerous competing theories): 浪速

I have a funny translation request. I was given a tote bag that presumably says something related to the Yomiuri Giants baseball team in Kanji, but I'm not sure. Could anyone help out? I've attached an image of the front of the bag. Many thanks in advance!

It says 一新 (いっしん), which means 'restoration; renewal', suggesting the team will have a whole new start this year. (They currently sit at .500, so maybe they didn't 一新 enough this year.)

Although somewhat different in appearance, the second character appears to be 純. If that is correct, then the two characters together are probably a person's given name. There are multiple possibilities for the reading of this name, including あけすみ and あかすみ.
 

It could also be a person's last and first names.
 
a little stuck with a question on 変態
A person's asking "is he a pervert?" It's translated as just a "Pervert?" in english subs.
By ear it sounds like "hezakiru?" for me though I suspect it's like hentaikeru or so. What's it like in reality?
 
Do you have an audio file or something of the word/phrase?
