h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am new to this site and was fascinated to learn you are Japanese.

I wanted to ask you a question about a Japanese name as I was not sure if it was real or what it means.

It is Okami Ken Shinobi. Is this a real name or a joke one?

Someone has told me that the equivalent name in English would be very funny and unusual.

I would be very grateful for any help you can give me.

It is good to see that you like Queen. I have a warm place in my heart for them.

Thanks

Hell there
Pleased to see you.
How do you find me

Well, as for your question about Japanese name.
mmmmm but London mayer's first name is Ken, isn't he?

I guess in my dad's generation or after his generation (50s... no, could be 60s), there was very populare comic which has become TV animation and that TV song was "kind of" best sellers among children.
That Comic name is "Okami Sho(h)nen, Ken" Okami means "wolf", Sho(h)nen means "boy". And Ken is one of Japanese boys' name. I think, Ken itself is not so popular those days, sounds very say wenstern name, could be Kentaro, Kenji, Ken... were/are more popular than "Ken". But because of the long name(not sure lol), we "may" call Ken as nickname as well as first name.
I don't know much about this comic, but this story is very closed to the wovles sisters who were fed by wolves and found when they got teenager and had very difficult life with human being. I'm not sure but that comic is simlar to that story...

I found one image of its comic, so you can image what Okami Ken is like. And to be honest, he doesn't look like Japanese boy. lol. his skin colour is darker than us.

One more story about Okami Shonen (apart from this comic) is well known as a boy who love to tell a lie to people.

But as far as that comic is concerned, I suppose, he's a kind of hero in a jungle with animals

Then, I hope you know "ninja"...
Shinobi is another name of Ninja. They were kinds of "ancient(not really but they might appear in 10-11th century? don't know, sorry)" Japanese Secret Agents.

Well, I hope this helps you to make it clear what those words in Japanese mean
I'm so sorry for my bad Enlgish

Do hope you understand my English.

Do you like Queen too?
Yup, me too. I have sweet memory and tunes of them in my heart.
Freddies's funeral anniversary is coming

Thank you for coming here


by the way, My nickname, Taamyu, isn't Japanese name at all
I just named Taamyu as my nickname by myself
My first name is Taeko, very oldfashined Japanese name (when I was born, it's not so oldfashioned. lol)

Hi Taamyu

Thank you for that rapid and great response!

The mayor of London is called Ken (lLivingstone). You are quite right! It is a popular name in Britain and also the name of Barbie the doll's boyfriend!

I see what you mean about Okami Ken, he looks more like Mowgli from the "Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling.

I have seen many refrences to Ninja. They are quite popular in Western culture for some reason. Possibly as they are so mysterious!

Your English is fantastic! It is far better than my Japanese which consists of onlty a few phrases.

I have two friends who go to Montreux every year on a pilgrimage to where Freddie called home. And they go to a Queen convention too! It was they who got me into the music many years ago.

There is a musical based on a Queen songs called "We Will Rock You". Has that toured Japan yet?

It is nice to talk to you!

Hello talk-talk
Glad to know that you now make some sense of those names in English

Ninja.... lol
They are appeared only on TV historical drama.
Not so mysterious. Just they have to WORK like spies.
There are many so-called "Ninja Houses" which has many tricks in houses to protect from enemies (thieves lol). And there are some so-called "Ninja villages", too.

Thank you very much for saying that my English is OK for you to understand

I bought We Will Rock You Live in the beginning of this month, yup new one. And yes there were 3 gigs of them here in Japan, but I couldn't go there because it was far from Osaka

But to me, there is no more Queen sound without Freddie and John
though I love Roger still now

Well, great to talk to you.
Actually I'm very slow responder, but I welcome you anytime

Take Care, Keep yourself Warm.

By the why could you tell me about yourself if you don't mind as you haven't finish introdusing on your space
