Yes. That is the name of a guy in my journalism class who I have to write a profile about for Monday. I sent him an email to ask him this question, but he has yet to respond.
I didn't think to ask him before (during our interveiw) but my introduction contains something like, "He has the name of XXXXXXXXXXX and grew up in the slower-paced city of Kanagawa, Japan..."
but I don't know what his name means
The paper is due Monday with or without this information.
