A question about names By Supra Vijai - 03-31-2011 05:43 AM
=========
Could some one please explain why some martial artists have changed their names over the years? Also why and what sort of process is involved? I realise in the Japanese language different pronounciations of the same Kanji can and do exist which can complicate things from a Western point of view.
Key examples within Ninjutsu being of course
Manaka Fumio ---> Manaka Unsui
Tanemura Tsunehisa ---> Tanemura Shoto
Takamatsu Hisatsugu---> Takamatsu Toshitsugu
From what little I've been able to gather from reading around the changes were to each persons' warrior name but hoping to get a better understanding of it
Thanks in advance!
