ma3zi1 Posted August 24, 2010 at 06:19 AM Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 at 06:19 AM I just got a good look at it, and it says: 邪 鼓 舞 In Chinese, this is somewhat contradictory, and doesn't really make much sense. She says it's Japanese but refuses to talk about it. Can anyone confirm what this might mean in Japanese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayro Posted August 24, 2010 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 at 02:55 PM Doesn't really mean anything in Japanese. Phonetically, it sounds out as "Yakobu" which would be the Japanese way of writing / romanizing the western name "Yakob" That said 邪 = wicked (same as Chinese) 鼓舞 = inspiration / stimulus Referenced below: http://eow.alc.co.jp/%E9%BC%93%E8%88%9E/UTF-8/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 25, 2010 at 01:52 AM Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 at 01:52 AM Just reading phonetically it's possible they were going for "Jacob". Other than that it doesn't make any sense to me. The second part (鼓舞) means to encourage someone/fire someone up, and comes from striking a drum and having someone dance, but with the "evil" on there it's either some sort of neologism that's a play on 鼓舞 or it's supposed to be Jacob, although it's strange that those characters would have been chosen. All that's to say that I really don't know. Does that help at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted August 25, 2010 at 02:23 AM Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 at 02:23 AM Oh, then maybe it's double entendre. That's his name, and he inspires her in an evil way, like through anger or something. Perhaps it couldn't be more fitting! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
