Alternate Character Reading	comment	The pronunciation of most Japanese words is not easily gleaned from how they are written. In the Japanese Writing System, words written in kanji often have multiple pronunciations depending on context. These alternate readings are often used for word plays in Japanese works, which can be extremely hard to translate into other languages. Formal Japanese Readings In Japanese, there are two main types of formal kanji readings, kun'yomi and on'yomi, and most kanji have one reading of each type. There are also two less common types of formal kanji readings, jukujikun and nanori. Kun'yomi (Japanese: è¨“èªã�¿) is a reading based on the pronunciation of the native Japanese word associated with a kanji's meaning. It usually consists of multiple syllables. Characters with kun'yomi usually only have one kun'yomi reading. Usual occurrences: When a kanji appears singly (often with okurigananote the hiragana that comes after a kanji to provide completion and/or inflection, verbs being a notable example), kanji in people and place names Example: æœ�æ—¥ = asahi ("morning sun") On'yomi (Japanese: éŸ³èªã�¿) is a reading based on the Chinese pronunciation of the loaned Chinese character when it was incorporated as a kanji. It usually consists of single syllables, or at most two syllables. Characters with on'yomi may have multiple on'yomi readings, due to being borrowed into Japanese at different points in time. Usual occurrences: When a kanji is used in mutli-kanji words. Example: æ—¥æœ¬ = nihon ("Japan") Jukujikun (Japanese: ç†Ÿå—è¨“) is a particular type of kun'yomi used in multi-kanji words where the reading for the whole word is not a composite of the individual readings of its constituent kanji. Example: æ˜Žæ—¥ = ashita ("tomorrow") Nanori (Japanese: å��ä¹—ã‚Š), also known as jinmeikun (Japanese: äººå��è¨“) is a particular type of kun'yomi only used in Japanese names. Example: æ—¥ is sometimes read as aki in some names. To abate this confusion, phonetic glosses called furigana are often provided in smaller characters next to the kanji. This invariably happens for names (whose pronunciations are notoriously idiosyncratic — see nanori) and terms with infrequently-used kanji. Publications for younger readers will often gloss common words as well. Stylized Japanese Readings In Japanese media, the furigana gloss may sometimes show a non-standard reading not found in any dictionary, for the sake of stylistic effect. This is known as gikun (Japanese: ç¾©è¨“). Gikun can be used in many different ways for many different reasons: Intentionally using more complex readings/characters that still have the same meanings for the sake of fancyness. After all, why spell words like toki, kin or karada as single kanji like æ™‚, é‡‘ or ä½“, while fancier compounds such æ™‚é–“, é»„é‡‘ or èº«ä½“ exist? Making puns by giving the kanji for one word and a reading corresponding to a different one. This way of using gikun hits its peak if the spelling and the reading actually clash, for example è¦ªå�‹ ("friend") and raibaru ("rival"), because you can actually convey a complicated relationship without explicitly spelling it out in many words. Glossing semantic compounds made from Chinese characters with a reading borrowed from another language. For example æ°·å³¶ means "ice island" and is pronounced "aisurando", even though normal rules say it should be pronounced either "korishima" or "hyoto". No points for guessing what it refers to. Identifying a person or thing mentioned in dialog with the spelling while still maintaining the reading which is the actual thing that is said. For example, a character may say "he" or "here", but you will know exactly that they're talking about "my father" or "Tokyo" thanks to the spelling. Sometimes the furigana will be an English word in katakana, most likely as Rule of Cool. (e.g. ã‚¹ãƒžã‚¤ãƒ« sumairu for ç¬‘é¡” egao), both meaning "smile". This example is often milked to hell and back in most shounen-based manga. This has a dual purpose — not only to just look cool, but also to allow Japanese readers understand the context of some strangely crafted English terms (akin to Buffy Speak) if their English knowledge is limited. This technique dates back to the Man'yÅ�shÅ« and Kojiki, and was very common among Edo period writers (mixing and matching Chinese words to Japanese glosses) and Meiji writers (mixing and matching Sino-Japanese words to recently borrowed Western glosses). The subtle nuances that can be achieved with the use of gikun are almost always Lost in Translation and will at worst end up being unfunny because detailed explanation is compulsory. On the flip side, gikun are frequently used when adapting something from English to Japanese in order to retain English names or puns. A few instances of gikun have actually made their way into the mainstream and become evergreen standard, such as the name of the Asuka period, spelled é£›é³¥ meaning "flying bird", but read as asuka meaning "scent of tomorrow". Miscellaneous One note is that kanji characters, having Chinese roots, also have Chinese pronunciations, and one can go from there to other derived regional readings. These readings are rarely used for word plays. A somewhat related though fundamentally different wordplay is ateji (å½“ã�¦å—), where a word (usually one not written in kanji) is phonetically transcribed into kanji, which almost always apply on'yomi readings. For example, the kanji written form of sushi, å¯¿å�¸ (su-shi) is an ateji, and literally means something like "lifespan-administrator". Ateji is usually used for some older Japanese loanwords and as a general wordplay trick. Ateji may either ignore kanji semantics completely or consider semantics to achieve phono-semantic matching. Rough equivalents in English would be Pretentious Pronunciation, Steven Ulysses Perhero, and Louis Cypher, and this can lead to similar humor (Double Entendre, Heh Heh, You Said "X", Uranus Is Showing...), Foreshadowing and drama. Contrast Hollywood Spelling. Not to be confused with Alternative Character Interpretation. See Goroawase Number for creative Japanese interpretation of numerals.

The first and second games also do it in regard to Masamune, Nohime and Yukimura's top weapons, Alastor, Ebony&Ivory, Ifrit and Sparda, whose names aren't spelled in katakana but in kanji phonetically arranged to spell out their names.

However, the game officially uses its Japanese reading, "Genshin", in regions outside of China. The characters from Liyue (a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to China) are all pronounced differently in the Japanese dub, i.e with onyomi. For example, Beidou is "Hokuto", Qiqi is "Nana" and so on. However, "Liyue" itself and Xianglingnote Her name é¦™è�± is more properly read in Japanese as "Kouryou", but the game's Japanese dub decides not to follow it, instead having her name be read as "Shanrin" are still pronounced that way, even in Japanese. Likewise, Inazuma (a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Japan) and its residents' names are pronounced in the Chinese way in the Chinese dub and the Japanese way in their dub. Most translations use the Chinese names for Liyue characters, and the Japanese names for Inazuma characters.

Alternate Character Reading / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach, Arrancar techniques and zanpakuto are given kanji spellings and Gratuitous Spanish readings. For a couple examples, we have Nnoitra's zanpakuto; kanji for "sacred crying mantis" are pronounced "Santateresa" (Spanish for Saint Teresa, also a term for mantises). Starrk's release is pronounced Los Lobos ("the wolves") and written with kanji meaning "wolf pack." Quincy terminology follows the same pattern with Gratuitous German. While the majority of Arrancar zanpakuto kanji readings are simply loose equivalents to or extrapolations on the Spanish meanings, one exception can be found in Baraggan's release, Arrogante ("arrogant"), which has kanji that read as "skull emperor". Uryuu's name (meaning "rain dragon") is a nonstandard reading; when Ichigo first saw it in writing, he pronounced it "Ametatsu". Before him, Yasutora Sado got his nickname "Chad" because of a kanji in his surname normally being read as cha when used for the word "tea". Captain Unohana's shikai and bankai are both named Minazuki, but they each have nonstandard writing. The shikai is written as è‚‰é›«å”¼, meaning "flesh-drops' gorge", which alludes to its healing use (her zanpakuto is transformed into a giant manta ray whose bodily fluids have healing properties). Her bankai is written as çš†å°½, roughly "all-things' end", which alludes to the fact it releases a highly corrosive poison. Minazuki itself is normally written as æ°´ç„¡æœˆ, the name of the sixth month in the traditional Japanese calendar. Mayuri Kurotsuchi's last name is written using kanji based on the meaning of the name, rather than how it's usually read. "Kurotsuchi" means "black soil" (kuro — "black"; tsuchi — "soil"), as does the kanji (æ¶…). However, the kanji's reading (pronunciation) is "ne" or "so".

This applies to many of Index's episode titles as well; for example, one episode has "Witch-Hunting King" in kanji and "Innocentius" in katakana. Accelerator's name is written "ä¸€æ–¹é€šè¡Œ" ("One-way Street") in the series. He gets this nickname because there's pretty much only one way a fight with him is going to end up.

This is because the plot Haruka is based around isn't strictly a Time Travel, but rather a Trapped in Another World scenario, where "another world" happens to resemble Heian-kyou,note It isn't clear whether there's actually any time shift or not, since the world appears to have an independent timeline. and explicit mention is made about "crossing time and space."

The kanji æ—¥å�‘ ("place in the sun") is pronounced hyuuga in on'yomi and hinata in kun'yomi. However, her given name is written in katakana, which obscures this a bit.

In Hashirama's case, the "sea" part is replaced with "world" (ç•Œ), possibly to highlight its greatness. Several techniques used by ninjas from the Land of Lightning are named in Gratuitous English, but written using kanji that could be read in a way that somewhat match the English name.

Alternate Character Reading / int_3adcc9ef	comment	Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!: The surname Takanashi discussed elsewhere on this page Kumin Tsuyuri's surname is written as äº”æœˆä¸ƒæ—¥ (May 7th) in kanji; Tsuyuri being a festival that falls on that day. In Episode 2, Yuuta did mispronunce that as Gogatsu-nanoka, and has to be corrected by Kumin. Shinka's epithet "Mori Summer" comes from this (both with Japanese and English readings!): the first kanji is "shin" in on-yomi and "mori" in kun-yomi. The second kanji is "ka" in on-yomi, or "natsu" in kun'yomi, but it is also "summer" in English. Quite a few of the members of the class have names with odd names. Of note is the girl with surname å�å�å�å�, apparently read as Sunekoshi, of which, su is the infrequent "Tang on reading," ne is the infrequent "zodiac kun reading," ko is the regular "kun reading" and shi is the regular "on reading" of å�.

From the shortened title alone, some Japanese readers may see the kanji and think that it's short for "manga kenkyuubu" (æ¼«ç”»ç ”ç©¶éƒ¨, "manga research club"). One of the jokes has one of the characters do just that — when the protagonist Mairu (Miley in the English version of the game) mentions that she's trying to start a club for comics, one of her friends assumes she's talking about "sit-down" comics and not "stand-up" comics.

The consort Gyokuyou's name (çŽ‰è‘‰), for example, uses the on'yomi reading while the consort Lihua's name (æ¢¨èŠ±) is given the kana reading of ãƒªãƒ•ã‚¡ (rifa), an approximation of the Mandarin lÃ huÄ� (for reference, the typical Japanese pronunciation of the name is Rika). Later, a kitten is adopted by the princess Lingli and named Maomao, which is identical in pronounciation to the story's main character[[note:At least in Japanese: in Mandarin the names would employ different tones]] but written with different kanji.

Alternate Character Reading / int_503d5009	comment	Ayakashi Triangle: Although "ayakashi" in Japanese is usually spelled in hiragana as "ã�‚ã‚„ã�‹ã�—", the manga (outside of its own title) spells it with the kanji "å¦–" (whose closest standard pronunciation would be just "aya"). This allows for several bits of wordplay: The kanji is also found in the standard spelling of "youkai (å¦–æ€ª)", reflecting how ayakashi are based on traditional youkai. "Ayakashi medium" is written "å¦–å·«å¥³ (ayakashi miko)". "å¦–" by itself can mean "attractive/enthralling" but also "disaster", reflecting the sway ayakashi mediums hold over weaker ayakashi and the more dangerous ones they attract. Humanoid ayakashi are referred to as "jinyo (äººå¦–)", an old Chinese term for monsters taking human form. Their earlier stages, which simply have some human features, are called "iyo (ç•°å¦–)". By the seriesâ€™ own use of the kanji, those can also be parsed as "human/strange ayakashi". The word "omokage (image/vestage)" is normally written in kanji as "é�¢å½±" or "ä¿¤". The in-series term "omokage", used for ayakashi doppelgangers of humans, varies between being written in just katakana or as an alternate pronunciation the word "bunshin (åˆ†èº«)" (lit. "alter ego", but often used in fiction to describe Self-Duplication powers). Once when Suzu talks with her mouth full, the kanji are written properly, but the furigana indicates her mumbled pronunciation (e.g. Matsuri's name is given the pronunciation "Mafuri"). The English version leaves the latter out.

Some of Takagi's friends call him "ShÅ«to", which is yet another way of reading Akito, but Mashiro refuses to do so because ShÅ«to, reminiscent of the English word "shoot" as in "shoot a soccer ball", sounds cooler than SaikÅ�, so he decides that if they both are gonna go by dumb nicknames, both of the names have to be equally dumb. "ShÅ«jin" is dumber because it sounds like the word for "prisoner". Handwaved for their meaningful pen name: you wouldn't usually pronounce "dream comes true", "å¤¢å�¶", as "Muto".

Additionally, when Tomokane is looking at the schedule for the next class, she reads "sobyou" (sketching) as "suneko". They soon discover Kisaragi spacing out, which Noda correctly guesses was the result of her imagining "suneko", interpreted as "fresh cat" or "raw cat". And thus begins the drawing of Suneko the cat... especially in Kisaragi's croquis book.

This also later comes into play in the third tournament, in which Kami (AKA God) participates incognito by inhabiting a human named Shen.

It was initially given to him by Bakugo because "Deku"(æœ¨å�¶), means wooden figure or puppet, and is often used as an insult for someone who can't do or achieve anything. Later on, Uraraka started using it as an Affectionate Nickname thanks to a different meaning. In this case, Deku sounds like "Dekiru"(ã�§ã��ã‚‹), meaning "to be able to do", which she says has a similar feeling to "Ganbaru"(é ‘å¼µã‚‹), meaning "I can do it". Midoriya chooses to use the name thanks to the inspiration of the latter meaning. The series features an inversion: a Class B student with a steel hardening Quirk has the name Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, with each Kanji being fundamentally different. note The characters in "é‰„å“²å¾¹é�µ" can be read as "Steel", "Clear", "Pierce" and archaic term for "Steel" respectively.

This kind of thing happens all the time, with clues and "dying messages" occasionally being misinterpreted when first encountered, or that these need to be read a different way to be fully understood, which is often intentional on the victims' (or even killers') part to keep others from figuring it out before hand. Not to mention that they usually have 2-3 puns per episode. In Moonlight Sonata, Seiji Asai lived as a female doctor on the Tsukukage Island for two years and when Conan pulled the thread, locals were surprised about his actual sex. How could it be done? First, his feminine looks, and second, he didn't even need to change the papers but merely changed how the name æˆ�å®Ÿ is pronounced — he switched from the masculine on-yomi reading Seiji to the feminine kun-yomi reading Narumi. There was a case when a Sonoko and Ran asked the name of a TV producer in person, the answer was the kana for Hozumi — that was because his actual surname was å…«æœˆä¸€æ—¥, which is usually understood as "First of August" and would be hard to understand the reading that led to his naming.note Hozumi is literally "picking ears of grain" — and the said date, commonly considered as the beginning of the harvesting season, is sometime remembered as the day when ears of grain are picked. When Shiho Miyano re-invented herself as Ai Haibara (sorta), she chose an alternate kanji for "Ai" that means "sorrow" instead of "love". The title of Dr. (or Prof. if you will) Agasa (Agasa Hakase) is spelled exactly the same as his actual name, Agasa Hiroshi. In other words, if we're to ignore the alternate readings completely, his actual name would be "Dr. Agasa", and it'd be impossible to tell whether he's filled in his real name in a name field for his paperwork or he's just fooling around. Kinda phunny.

Reisen Udongein Inaba has spell cards which enforce this. Her spell cards have both a Kanji spelling, and a Katakana pronunciation given after the Kanji. These result in entirely different phrases. For example, her first spell can be read as either "Mind Shaker" or "Lunatic Red Eyes". Strangely, when you go to Hard and Lunatic mode, only the former changes its name. So in Lunatic mode, the same spell is called "Mind Blowing" or "Lunatic Red Eyes". The series associates shikigami with computers. This tends to show up by having one term in kanji and the other in furigana. Sometimes related terms get the same treatment. In a similar vein, Kasen Ibaraki's house is in an enchanted forest and the only way to get in is to follow a very specific path, which she changes every so often to keep people from figuring it out. Word of God compared this to changing one's computer password; the chapter of the official spin-off manga Wild and Horned Hermit which shows this even has Kasen saying "Gotta change the path regularly!" with the kanji for "path" having furigana reading "password" above it. Utsuho's nickname Okuu comes from the alternate reading of her first name (Kuu). Kaguya's name can be read as Teruyo, but it's mainly used in fanworks where Mokou is deliberately misreading her nemesis' name. Even the series' name is an example of this, as the kanji for "Touhou" can also be pronounced "Higashikata" — as in Josuke Higashikata. Needless to say, ZUN is a huge JoJo fan.

Alternate Character Reading / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Killer Queen has an attack written as è² ã�‘ã�¦æ»ã�, which means "Lose and Die", but the furigana for it is ãƒ�ã‚¤ãƒ„ã‚¡ãƒ»ãƒ€ã‚¹ãƒˆ, pronounced "Bites the Dust". The two Josukes have first names that can also be read as "JoJo". In the former case, this is even lampshaded by a character reading his name and saying "I'll call you Jojo!". Also, the fact that there are two Josukes to begin with, one who spells his name as "ä»—åŠ©", and one who spells his name as "å®šåŠ©". Many chapter names have kanji spellings with furigana indicating English names. When Stands are first introduced, the word is initially written as å¹½æ³¢ç´‹, which would be normally read "yÅ«hamon", literally "ghostly Hamon", given the gloss "sutando" (Stand) — done to show a connection with the earlier Hamon ability, which is shortly dropped. Most Stands in Part 3 and a fair amount introduced in later parts have kanji spellings given furigana showing their English-language names, typically used upon their introduction, after which they just use their regular katakana spelling (for example, Star Platinum is written as æ˜Ÿã�®ç™½é‡‘, which would be normally read as "hoshi no hakkin"). Word of God is that Kakyoin's first name å…¸æ˜Ž was originally meant to be read as "Tenmei", but Araki's editor misread it as "Noriaki", which became the character's official name. Likewise, Kei (äº¬) Nijimura was originally named Kyo until Araki clarified that "Kei" is the correct reading.

Kiara Takanashi's surname is written with the kanji å°�é³¥é�Š (kotori asobe), which translates directly as "little birds playing". "Takanashi" can be written with the kanji é·¹ç„¡ã�—, which means "there are no hawks", revealing the pun: the reason the little birds can play is because the hawks, their natural predators, aren't around to hunt them. Inaâ€™nis Ninomae's surname is written with the kanji ä¸€ (ichi/hitotsu), which normally means "one". "Ni no mae" (äºŒã�®å‰�) means "before two", and one does indeed come before two. The nickname of parent company Cover Corp's CEO, "Yagoo", is a result of this. His real name is Tanigou, but the kanji for it (è°·éƒ·) can also be read as "Yagoo". In one stream, Subaru kept misreading his name as "Yagoo" and it stuck.

Alternate Character Reading / int_ce50887e	comment	Played with in Dragon Ball when the Tenkaichi Budokai announcer mispronounced Son Goku's name as "Mago Gosora" the first time he reads it. At the next tournament, he misreads Chiaotzu's name as "Gyoza". This gets Lost in Translation in the English dub of the anime, since rather than trying to explain character readings to the audience, the dialogue is changed so that it's made clear the announcer is struggling with reading some poor handwriting on the contestants' entry forms. This actually fits Goku's character as he's only just learned to read and write in the last few months before his first tournament. In the anime, Pilaf also misreads Goku's name as "Mago Gosora" when reading a banner at Fire Mountain welcoming Goku for his presumed wedding with Chi-Chi. Shenron's name is an example — the kanji mean "god dragon" and would normally be pronounced "shinryuu", however the furigana give it a Japanese approximation of the modern Chinese pronunciation (ShÃ©nlÃ³ng). This also later comes into play in the third tournament, in which Kami (AKA God) participates incognito by inhabiting a human named Shen. Goku figures out his real identity when he remembers that the kanji for "Kami" also has the reading "Shen" in its Chinese pronunciation, as in Shenron, the divine dragon. The titular Dragon Balls also use this, each one being named in Chinese.

This even applies to the ending songs for the anime adaptation of The Garden of Sinners, where non-standard kanji are given for lyrics in the liner notes. Special attacks like Noble Phantasms have a descriptive name in kanji, with the name they were known by in legend given in furigana. E.g. Excalibur is written with the pronunciation "Excalibur" and the meaning "Sword of Promised Victory"note normally pronounced "Yakusokusareta Shouri no Ken", the latter of which is also the name of its Leitmotif. Lancer (Cu Chullain) has two Special Attacks he can perform with his spear Gae Bolg — a melee thrust which is normally impossible to dodge, and a throw which is normally impossible to block. Both involve calling the name "Gae Bolg", but written with different kanji (translating roughly as "Barbed Spear of Striking Death" and "Soaring Spear of Piercing Death" respectively). All Assassins have a Noble Phantasm named Zabaniya. However, they all have different effects and different kanji spellings. Being the oldest hero of mankind, Gilgamesh uses some archaic language with glosses. This includes how he refers to himself — spelled as the old-fashioned "ware" but pronounced as the more modern/macho "ore". Archer's chant for Unlimited Blade Works gives one of two reasonably different speeches depending on whether one translates the kanji literally or using the furigana. For instance, translating the first line using the former results in 'My body is made out of swords', while using the latter gives us the famous 'I am the bone of my sword'. Inverted in the other great Nasuverse VN, Tsukihime. The protagonist and his evil adopted brother are both called Shiki, but written with different kanji. The background character of ORT had some in-universe confusion as to whether it was associated with the planet Mercury or the Oort Cloud. This because its title is "Suisei no Kumo", which can be written as "å½—æ˜Ÿã�®é›²" ("cloud of comets", ie, the Oort Cloud) or as "æ°´æ˜Ÿã�®ã‚¯ãƒ¢" ("spider of Mercury"). Its name suggests the former, but its eight-limbed body shape suggests the latter.

These were changed to spelling problems in the English version. As part of Woolseyism, the localization team for Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, when translating the names of people from the fictional Asian country of Zheng Fa, simply used the Chinese readings of the kanji instead of the Japanese. In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Spirit of Justice, this was used in localization with Bucky Whet; the characters on his outfit were changed from his Japanese surname (æ‰“ã�¡ç«‹ã�¦ Uchitate) to kanji (ä¸Šæˆ¸) that can be pronounced "Ueto", a pun on his last name.

Attack names would often be given in kanji but the furigana would be English words written in katakana. Minako is a common name, but the kanji can be read as her Sailor Guardian name "Binasu (Venus)". This is played in the live-action series as well.

As we know, she only got the "Chi" right. A common trait across adaptations is that Usagi is awful when it comes to kanji, whether reading or writing it. In episode 127◊ of the first anime written by her future self aka Neo Queen Serenity. Since the puns were obviously hard to translate, dubs tend to say that the letter has grammar/writing mistakes and/or bad handwriting. The first anime's OP Moonlight Densetsu has the line "onaji kuni ni umareta no", meaning "(we're) born in the same country", and which would typically be written å�Œã�˜å›½ã�«ç”Ÿã�¾ã‚Œã�Ÿã�®. However, the written lyrics (e.g. the CD booklet and karaoke aid) write it as å�Œã�˜åœ°ç�ƒã�«ç”Ÿã�¾ã‚Œã�Ÿã�®, that is, the word 'å›½/kuni/country' is written as åœ°ç�ƒ (Earth), which is normally read as 'chikyÅ«'. The pun country/Earth probably brings the Usagi-Mamoru theme to a planetary level. It fits well. A joke in SuperS has Tiger's Eye pretending to be a devotee of Miyamoto Musashi, but misreads the kanji as "Miyamoto Takezo" and improvises a made-up person "not in the history books because their names were too similar".
