Still no word on Au Ra Naming Conventions?

[Phia]

Even Yugiri Mistwalker I find suspect. I don't know what "Yu" can translate to, but if "Mist" were in her first name it would probably be "Kiri-" something. (Kyoko Kirigiri, of Danganronpa, has a last name that translates literally to "fog cutter.")

But again, my knowledge of Japanese is cursory at best, and there is the high likelihood they're all using pseudonyms because they're ninja.

In Japanese, the second kanji in a word generally has it's first sound softened. This turns the sounds produced by what would normally be a "t" into a "d", an "s" into a "z", and, more noteworthy, a "k" into a "g".
