'Kibo' is Japanese for the pronunciation of my old online handle, which in turn is a derivation of my old childhood nickname. 'Kaseki' is derived from 'Kasei' which means Mars which I got from my real name.

I always try to make spin-offs of my own name or person when making online nicknames. It's a fun process, especially when you try to figure out a completely new name. Kibo Kaseki is a far cry from what I started out with. :>
