Meanwhile, 仁 (hito) means “benevolence/humanity/virtue”, while 花 (ka) means “flower”. Once again, 谷 (ya) is valley, and 地 (chi) is earth. Yachi Hitoka: 谷地 (yachi) are both kanji that have come up in other names Daichi’s and Noya’s, actually. Her given name completely echoes the intent of her last name, with 潔 (kiyo) meaning “undefiled/pure/clean”, and 子 (ko) meaning “girl/child.” “ko” is also an incredibly traditional sounding piece of girls’ names. What probably isn’t surprising is that 清 (shi) means “purity,” and 水 (mizu) means water. Shimizu Kiyoko: 清水 (shimizu) is an interesting last name because there’s a temple in Kyoto by the name of 清水寺, though it’s pronounced Kiyomizudera. I’m gonna skip a few here because I could do everybody’s names but there are like a million characters, so I’m just gonna make sure to also do… More importantly, his first name, 忠 (tadashi), is the character for loyalty and devotion. Yamaguchi Tadashi: Yamaguchi also has a super common last name: 山口 (yamaguchi) literally means the entrance to the mountain. I think that suits his personality to a T-lights on, lights off. 島 (shima), just to be thorough, means “island.” Meanwhile, what I find interesting is that his first name, 蛍 (kei), is the character for fireflies. I think everyone already knows about how he has 月 (tsuki) “moon” in his last name, naturally, making him Hinata’s opposite. Tsukishima Kei: I find Tsukishima’s name actually quite interesting. Although he does have 龍 (ryuu), or “dragon,” in his first name, which I think feeds the character, he also has 之介 (nosuke) at the end, which is another common suffix for boys and sounds very traditional. I mean, his last name 田中 (tanaka) (middle of the rice field) is one of the most common last names in Japan, so I guess the purpose was to try to make him an everyman, in a sense. Tanaka Ryuunosuke: Comparatively, Tanaka gets a pretty boring name.

Plus then we throw in his given name of 夕 (yuu) which, guys, guys, it means “evening.” They are ABSOLUTE OPPOSITES how is this not the most fucking perfect thing ughh.

Noya’s kanji are 西谷 (nishinoya) which lit translate to… 西 (west) 谷 (valley). Nishinoya Yuu: Are you even ready for this I was not. His given name, 旭, means daybreak, or the sun rising. 東峰 (Azumane) breaks down into 東 (east) and 峰 (peak/summit), so we’re talking about the tip top of an eastern mountain ok. This kills me ok.Īzumane Asahi: I actually started this post because of Asahi and Noya in particular because THIS KILLS ME THE MOST (except for Ukai but I’ll get there) so ok. 孝 (kou) is the character for filial devotion/piety/respect, whereas 支 (shi) means to support. But his first name 孝支 (Koushi) is once again a completely made up name. 菅原 (Sugawara) breaks down to mean “sedge field.” Sedge (I had to look it up) is apparently a plant that grows in wet areas. Sugawara Koushi: This one, like Daichi’s name, is a little more obtuse. It literally means “swamp village” which comes across a little oddly to me, especially since 大地 (Daichi) means “great earth,” which fits him well, being the foundation of the team. Sawamura Daichi: 澤村 (Sawamura) is, again, not unheard of as a last name. Also, I think there is some of the concept of “the shade exists because of the sun,” or like, maybe that’s just me, I don’t know. The character in Tobio’s name also has the meaning of ‘hero’ behind it. But it’s not your normal ‘man’ character, which is 男. Meanwhile, 飛雄 (Tobio) is another completely made up name, with 飛 (tobi) meaning to fly, and 雄 (o) meaning… well, man. Kageyama Tobio: 影山 (Kageyama) literally means shadowed mountain, or dark mountain, with 影 being shadow (or silhouette) and 山 being mountain.

翔 (shou) means to soar, and 陽 (you) means sunshine. While 日向 (Hinata) is the first hit I get when I do the turn-these-kana-into-kanji thing, making me think it’s pretty common, his given name 翔陽 (Shouyou) seems to not be, which means the kanji were particularly chosen (like most of these names, honestly).

His last name 日向 (Hinata) literally means “to face the sun” or “to head towards the sun” which, yes. Hinata Shouyou: Hinata’s name is way too obvious but also really cute. I had noticed that Hinata’s and Kageyama’s names were particularly clever in terms of reflecting their characters so I started actually digging into what all the kanji for all the names mean and guys this is delicious. Ok guys I don’t know if a post like this has gone around, maybe it has, maybe I am saying things people already know because I’m new to this fandom, but seriously.
