"K – LETTER STORY"

RED: "DEAR MY FUTURE SELF"

Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia

Write a letter to your future self!

Anna watched the television program, which featured a scene from an elementary school classroom, without even thinking about it. Anna has never been to school. She is a Strain who has a powerful sensory ability, so she spent her days being a victim of experiments in a facility, and just the other day, she was rescued by the Red King Suoh Mikoto from "Homura" and came here.

On television, children write their questions and hopes for their future.

"Sounds interesting. Let's try it."

Totsuka, who was watching the same TV on the other side, smiled and said that.

When Totsuka thinks about it, he acts quickly. The reason he is a man of many interests is that he immediately does anything he has the slightest desire to try. Totsuka bought stationery and an envelope and gave them to Anna. Anna obediently accepted it.

"In how many years will you write to Anna?"

When Totsuka asked her, she thought silently. Anna's adult self was now too far away for her. For Anna, who has lived a tumultuous life from a young age and has just arrived in "Homura", the future seems to be within her reach...

"Five years from now?"

"That's great. Five years from now, Anna will probably be in high school."

He didn't think that Anna, who didn't even go to elementary school, would be able to attend high school, but he nodded slightly.

"What about you, Tatara?"

"Yes, I guess I should write too!"

After saying that, Anna watched Totsuka go down to the bar, then he went to his room and took a pen.

"Here, King, write something too."

"What do you mean?"

"Everything is fine. As long as it is written in your own handwriting, it is fine."

When Anna went down to the bar, she heard loud voices. Totsuka is about to give Suoh a pen while he drinks at the counter, and Kusanagi is polishing a glass and tidying up.

"If you can't think of anything to write, just sign it. Oh, I can think of an interesting King signature that I think would sell well."

"Don't sell, don't sell. What are you talking about?"

While she was there, Totsuka noticed her and greeted her.

"Anna, were you able to write the letter?"

She nodded and approached Totsuka.

"Did you write a letter to yourself, Tatara?"

"Eh? I didn't write it to myself. What I, or rather we wrote, was a letter to the future Anna."

Totsuka picked up the paper from the counter and held it up with the back facing Anna.

"Hey, we write too!"

Yata, who was sitting on the couch, raised his fist and said that happily. Kamamoto also shook his belly and laughed.

"It's like a message and it's fun."

"I made sure Saruhiko writes too!"

"You are very persistent, Misaki."

Totsuka folded the paper that seemed to have everyone's messages written on it and said, "Will you let me put them with yours?" and pointed to Anna's envelope containing a letter addressed to her future self.

Suoh watched the scene without thinking.

+++++++++++

"It's letter from the past."

When they got home from school, Kusanagi said that and handed an envelope to Anna.

Anna was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered that event from five years ago. At that point, she entrusted the envelope to Kusanagi, who laughed and said, "I agree to deliver the letter in five years."

She accepted it gently and opened the seal.

[I don't know what to say to my future self, so I'll write down my current feelings, no matter what happens in the future, I'm glad I got Mikoto's red. I'm glad I came to this red place. That is what I think.]

That's what was written on the paper in childish and clumsy characters.

A lot has happened since then. Suoh and Totsuka are no longer there. Anna became the "King" who inherited the red of Suoh, and she also chose to part with the red by destroying the Slate.

Even so, she never felt any regret that betrayed her feelings when she wrote that letter. She also took out another piece of paper. There were messages written with various letters.

[How is the future Anna? Are you having a fun life? Anna is smart and she can do anything, so I hope you can do whatever you want. LOVE! Tatara Totsuka.]

[I'm sure Anna will be a wonderful big sister in five years. If you have any problems, please tell me in the future. I will always support you. Izumo Kusanagi.]

[Have you started laughing and talking? I don't know much about you yet, but I'm sure we'll be good friends in five years. Be careful! Yata.]

[Anna, have you grown up? You're probably still growing, so eat plenty! I'll tell you about any delicious restaurant! Rikio Kamamoto.]

[You don't have to deal with idiots forever. Fushimi.]

Looking at the letters on the paper, Anna's mouth went slack and she could almost hear his voice.

In the corner of the notebook, Suoh's name was written in a slightly deformed font, probably forced to write by Totsuka. With the same letter on that side,

[Live as you want.]

That was there.

Anna's expression looked like she was crying and laughing when she heard those words from someone who had lived the life he wanted and then passed away.

"It's okay. I'm living my life the way I want."

No Blood. No Bone. No Ash.

I’ve had the idea for this piece for a while almost a year now, and I want to make a bigger one with the entirety of Homra. But anyways, K has been my favorite anime for over seven years, and I’ve been debating getting my own Homra tattoo.

#kfest2k24!!!

K Countdown manga volume 1 omake. I don't know Japanese whatsoever. I used various translator programs to make this English translation.

Kusanagi: cooking together is NOT romantic, MOVE out my fucking way

[le-monchou]

what once was, now is || k project

anna struggles to fill mikoto's shoes. yata and kusanagi attempt to help out. || word count: 251 words || hello gays and guys and others, im back in this hole after 8 years, i hope you like my writing. find my cringy mikoto suoh fic titled tasukete ageru on quotev and tell me it sucks lmao i wrote that in 2019 and then rewrote it in 2021.

the city outside is too vibrant for anna's tastes, but the bar inside is far too quiet for her. not right now, when mikoto's loss is still fresh and bleeding, despite the crown firmly affixed on her head. and maybe this is how mikoto felt when he was eighteen and unsure, and despite having izumo and tatara, he stood alone.

anna doesn't like the feeling of being alone. the sound of footsteps behind her makes her turn around to find yata waiting patiently, and for once, his voice is quiet. gentle, like she was seven and terrified of everyone who wasn't red like they were. "dinner time, anna."

she knows what she has to do, but her feet refuse to move, firmly affixed to the cement of the terrace, and somehow far below her, a car honks. the world continues on without the people who were her whole world. "i can't move." she whispers. "the red is too strong."

"and we're here. we'll help keep you safe." misaki responds, and somehow, anna's heart breaks further, because how have they been dealing with their youngest succeeding mikoto? how could she have been so selfish? "and you can take your time, anna. mikoto-san's right there behind you, and we're behind the both of you."

through tears resting heavily on her lashes, anna sees misaki's red shine bright for the frst time in a long time, and she sniffles as her feet finally move, and suddenly, the bar doesn't seem far too quiet anymore.

massive thanks to @kresurrectionfest for organising something like this!! im rewriting all my drafts to keep this fandom going little by little haha

[incorrectkprojectquotes]

Mikoto: It's pretty cold outside. Wanna hold hands? We should stay close.

Totsuka, blushing: OK!

Izumo: It's fucking summer.

Decided to make the boys in Sims 4 so I can share adventures with you guys 😈

[ciaossu-imagines]

💓 - What are some signs they’ve fallen for someone? How do they show their affection?

🤔 - What’s something they’ll never understand ?

For Kusanagi Izumo !

I had two more emojis but i didn't know if i should/could send more than 2 at a time in case it would be too long or too messy to write in one ask

so i'll problably send another ask later !

thank you so much again, bless your blog, really ! 🙏

Take care of yourself !

I didn’t really set an emoji limit this time so you definitely could have! It just tends to be that the more emoji’s or the more questions requested in one ask, the shorter the overall headcanons tend to be for each question. I don’t know why, but that does tend to be the way it goes. Thank you for sending in an ask though, and for such sweet wishes! I hope you’re taking care of yourself too, my dear, and that these headcanons brighten up your day a little 😊

What are some signs they’ve fallen for someone? How do they show their affection?

I do honestly think that one of the biggest signs that Izumo is genuinely interested in someone is that he stops flirting. I know, I know, this seems completely ass-backwards, but it’s true. When it comes to people he’s just attracted to, who he wants a quick fuck with or just want to charm in some way, Izumo is incredibly flirtatious. He’s all charm and wiles, with a honeyed tongue that seems to say just what you most want to hear. He knows how to flirt successfully, what to say and do to make someone feel like they’re the only person around or the most beautiful person in the room. So the fact that Izumo drops that act, that he stops flirting with the person he’s truly interested in, and starts treating them with respect and as an actual person really speaks a lot to how he feels about them.

Another sure sign that Izumo is actually pretty invested in someone, that he’s fallen for them, is the amount of respect and trust he will give that person. He’s a guy who pretty much keeps his cards to his chest, who doesn’t willingly divulge a lot of personal information, who doesn’t share his secrets, and often doesn’t really express his full and complete opinions on things. He chameleons himself in public into what people need him to be, and part of that is kind of having most people be a little unsure who he fully is and what exactly he thinks, believes in, and such. Only Totsuka and Mikoto ever fully and truly knew Izumo, all the way through. So when he starts willingly offering up insights into who he is to a person, that’s a sure sign that he feels quite strongly towards them.

Izumo is also a pretty busy guy, what with the bar, with HOMRA, and with his dealings in the city. So it really does speak a lot to how important a person is to him if he routinely and consistently makes time for them. If he finds himself answering their calls right away, that’s a sign. An even bigger sign? When he found himself rolling over in bed at 3am because his phone woke him up and instead of being angry, he immediately answered their text message. He makes the person he’s interested in an active part of his life, which is a surefire sign that he’s pretty seriously interested in them, and not just as a quick one-off.

He will also nickname the people he seriously is interested in and committed to keeping in his life. This doesn’t even necessarily have to be romantic, though any serious romantic partners he has had have always had personalized nicknames that he’s never reused for anyone else. It’s just a little sign of him caring about them.

What’s something they’ll never understand?

This one might make Izumo come off as sounding snobbish, but it’s his honest take on the thing and he won’t apologize for that. If he sounds snobbish, so be it. But he will never understand the people who easily group all liquor together. Whiskey and rum are almost the same thing? It doesn’t matter what brand vodka is because they all taste the same? Wine is wine no matter the variety or vintage? No, just no on all of that. It definitely does come down to his work as a bartender and his passion for the occupation. He’s been blessed enough to really be able to explore the wide world of different types of alcohol and spirits, to have tasted the difference between a top-shelf scotch and a cheap bottle of whiskey bought from any old liquor store. He’s had the opportunity to do wine-tastings abroad. There’s so many varied and different flavours, techniques, and such within the world of alcohol and bartending that he won’t abide having it all boiled down to ‘doesn’t matter, they’re all the same thing aren’t they?’

[kuradoberijam]

Kusanagi is the one single fixture of a person keeping HOMRA’s financial state together because he’s the only one out of HOMRA’s top 3 who knows how to pay the bills and write checks and file taxes. His besties live in bar HOMRA because both of them have shit credit scores. If you try to explain to Totsuka what a credit score is, he tilts his head in confusion and then goes back to focusing on one of his hobbies. As for Mikoto his budget is absolutely swallowed up by his cigarette habit and also he just doesn’t care about credit scores. And the rest of HOMRA are just like. A collection of dudes that were each individually found in a cardboard box all alone and then Anna.

List of K Project names meanings master post

Remember when someone did a post to explain what the meanings of the names mean with the characters? Well, I am putting it here in this post. 

The analysis and meaning of the names had already been done before but this post is about compiling all the meanings of the character's names here. I do not take any credit for the translations and the meanings belong to the original translators I am putting it here for reference.  I put their name meanings here in case someone is struggling to name there k project oc this is used as a reference to help. 

The Silver Clan: White Rice Party 

Yashiro Isana (伊佐那 社)

Isana (伊佐那), i (伊, that one), sa (佐, assistant, help) and na (那, what?). Yashiro (社, shrine)

Yashiros are temporary shrines set up for deities, this is a reference to how the body known as ‘Isana Yashiro’ (who is, in fact, Hieda Touru) is just a vessel for the silver king Adolf K. Weismann and not his true body much like how yashiro's body is temporarily used for a vessel for his soul. 

His surname Isana (伊佐那) is derived from Izanagi (伊耶那岐命, Izanagi-no-Mikoto) and Izanami (伊耶那美命, Izanami-no-Mikoto) this is a reference to the twin heavenly deities in Shinto mythology who gave birth to the islands and made Japan and other Shinto deities of Japanese and represent life and death. This references his real identity as the first Silver King and the founder king being responsible for the birth of other kings

life and death play a part in Adolf and Claudia, which infers How Adolf became the silver king cursed with immortality after Claudia's death forced him to live while his sister was dead. 

Besides being named after Izanagi Shiro’s last name has further significance in the story,  Isana can be a play on his airy nature but refers to his amnesia in the story and his kind personality before regaining his memories.

Adolf K. Weismann

His real name “Adolf” comes from the Germanic name Adalwolf which means “noble wolf” and "wise wolf”, indicating both his nobilty in German myth wolfs are connected to kings and rulers which references his status as a king. This might infer the term "lone wolf” reference to his loneliness Of being selected as the king cursed to live as his sisters exiled himself from the world out of fear because he doesn’t want to involve himself with anyone that he eventually has to watch die yeah he doesn’t-have it off easily.

His initial K is a reference to the title of the series 

Weissmann is a German surname meaning “white man” referencing to Shiro being the silver king.

His nickname “Shiro” can be written as “white" in Japanese. The term used for “Silver King” in Japanese, (白銀の王, Hakugin no Ō) has the character for "white” (haku,白) while “gin” means (銀, silver) in Weismman “Weis” means “white” in “German”, This references that Shiro is the first king the silver king. 

Claudia Weismann

The name Claudia means "lame” or “crippled” but could probably be named after Saint Claudia, the Martyr of Rome who was mentioned in the New Testament, this can reference the impression that Claudia gives off that of the image of “the lost saint” and to how she She died saving Adolf life from falling debris from the bombing raid. 

Claudia references Izanami as one of the creator gods in mythology She Along with her brother was in charge of the research of the slate that created the kings Izanami’s death references Claudia’s own death.  

Neko “Miyabi Ameno” (雨乃雅日) 

Ameno (雨乃), Ame (雨, rain), no (乃, from). Miya (雅, gracious. elegant, refined) and bi (日, day, sun).

Neko’s first name Miyabi(雅日) came from Wakahirume no mikoto (稚日女尊, Wakahirume-no- Mikoto.) the kanji “稚日女尊” is miswritten as "雅日女尊” since 稚&雅 look alike. Wakahirume is a weaving deity who served Amaterasu, says Susano threw a horse skinned alive into the room she weaving startled she fell off the loom and pricked herself by the shuttle of the loom this frightened Amatarsu she hid in the cave. this could reference to how Neko used her powers to change his memories hence hiding him from the other clansmen while preventing him from coming out of his metaphorical cave and how she hangs around Shiro. 

the kanji can refer to how she is considered good-looking by the cast with sensual curves and her her bright sunny disposition.

Neko’s surname Ameno derives from Ameno Uzume (天宇受, Ameno Uzume) with the kanji changed. Ameno Uzume is the goddess of mirth who danced naked to draw Amaterasu out of hiding in her cave this is a node to how Neko is seen naked in the series and her role in drawing Shiro to come out of the metaphorical cave that he puts himself in. in the Kojiki it described her as “made the deities laugh” I think this can reference to how she brings Shiro happiness. 

surname means “of rain” This is a reference to Neko’s love of baths even though she is a cat and rain is used to describe the sadness in her lonely life before she met Shiro 

Neko’s name makes the beginning and end of Amatarasus's hiding along with the disaster due to the sun refusing to come out.

Kuroh Yatogami (夜刀神 狗朗)

Yatogami (夜刀神), Ya (夜, night) to (刀, sword, knife, blade) gami (神, god). Kuroh (狗朗), Ku (狗, dog) roh (朗, melodious, clear, bright, serene, cheerful).  Kuroh’s surname Yatogami comes from Yato no gami (Yato no gami, 

夜刀の神 ) are snake deities in Japanese folklore that are a symbol of enjoying peace and prosperity under a benevolent ruler but also have the power to kill a person and an entire family if someone sets their eyes on them. they are expelled from this original dwelling land the man who expelled them defied them and worshiped them at a place called Yashiro.  

this references Kuroh's backstory, the deities rumored to bring familial extermination to anyone who saw them notes to how Kuroh is seen as an angel of death by his family and shunned by his own family after the deaths of his family, then his aunt and uncle. Like Yatogami he had to leave the place he grew up with and later ended up with Yashiro Isana like the Yashiro of the tale

the last kanji in his name refers to Kuroh's personality being honest, calm, and bright, the first kanji in his name means "dog”, and the pronunciation of “kuro” alone means “black in Japanese this contributes to his nickname “black dog”. 

Kukuri commented that their names Kuro and Shiro are like Othella this plays into K focusing on contrastionals with the two main characters referring to it.

HOMRA

Suoh Mikoto (周防 尊)

Suoh (周防), Su (周, circumference, circuit) oh (防, protect, resist). Mikoto (尊, noble, exalted)

Mikoto (尊, Mikoto) is taken from the full name of the deity Susano-o no Mikoto (素戔嗚尊, Susano-o no Mikoto). Mikoto is named after the kami Susano, he is Amataerasu’s little brother and was originally in charge of the storms and seas he is known for his violent temper that caused problems, and was expelled from the heavenly realm. This refers to Mikoto's most prominent qualities as the red king being violent. Mikoto can reference his charisma as something he had before he became king

His last name Suoh (周防) comes from an old Japanese province of Yamaguchi Prefecture that is dedicated to a red tortoise in the Nihon Shoki and is well known for its chopper ore (a red color) in the Shoku Nihongi This is a reference to Mikoto being the red king and his hair color. the Yamaguchi Prefecture harbors the Tamanoya shrine that enshrines the creator of the Yata mirror and Yasakani magatama I find this fascinating that it references Yata and Anna from the Red clan. 

his surname refers to his quiet kind nature in which he wants to protect others around him.

Izumo Kusanagi (草薙出雲)

Kusanagi (草薙) Kusa (草, grass, pasture, write) nagi (薙, mow down). Izumo (出雲) Izu (出, exit, come out, put out) mo (雲, cloud). 

Kusanagi is named after the sword of Kusanagi (草薙剣, Kusanagi-no-tsurugi) one of the three imperial regalia of Japan which the sword itself represents valor. It's a sword that has a connection to Mikoto as with the legend that the sword is seen in the body of the servant that Susano slayed and presented it to Amaterasu to settle an old grievance. Kusanagi being named after a divine sword is a reference to his combat ability to how Izumo is the second strongest in Homura. 

Izumo is the name of a shrine (出雲大社, Izumotaisha) that worships Susano's son, Izumo might refer to his role as an information pathway to Homra and his additional role as the one to clean up his clansmen's messes. 

Totsuka Tatara  (十束多々良)

Totsuka (十束多) to (十, ten) tsuka (束, bundle, manage, control). Tatara (多々良) ta (多, many, frequent, much) tata (多々, very much, very many) ra (良, good, pleasing, skilled)

Tostuka is derived from the sword of Totsuka (十束剣, Totsuka-no-Tsurugi) the sword of the kami susano the blade that Susano uses to slay the serpent. Also used by Izanangi to behead his son Kagutsuchi who is the kami of fire Kagutsu's death marked the beginning of death in the world. The sword was taken by the underworld when Izanagi came to visit Izanami the sword is made of metal a part of the element of earth connected with death. his name is from a kind of sword alludes to his hidden strength, and his role in Homra the peacemaker, and the beast tamer. 

Tatara is derived from the tatara method of iron making, the tatara method uses iron sand dread old iron ore and smelts it in a hot fire. There is an old Japanese saying that those who work in Tatara iron making welcome the dead this is because dead bodies in Japanese lore represent the element of earth and iron metal is purified earth. The amount of dead in tatara works was said to increase during the purification process. iron is created from the dead and in the case of the sword also creates more dead people, while poisoning those who work with Tatara with death. his given name is an obvious reference to his overall personality and many hobbies 

His entire name is closely connected with death with his given name dead from Tatara and metal/earth and with the beginning of death in the world and underworld from Totsuka no Tsurugi.  His name shows that he is created to die in some respects and his death was meant to be a catalyst for what happened with Homra 

Yata Misaki (八田美咲)

Yata (八田) ya (八, eight) ta (田, rice field), Misaki (美咲) Mi (美, beauty, beautiful) saki (咲, blossom, bloom)

Despite the different kanji the word Misaki is used seen with how Misaki (御先, Misaki) can translate to vanguard also a term used to call small-scale divine spirits who are subordinates to high-ranking deities appearing as the deity's omen or messengers. Misaki is a homage to the Hinomisaki shrine (日御碕神社, Hinomisaki Jinja) which is a shrine and lighthouse, the upper shrine is dedicated to Susano, and the lower shrine to Amaterasu notes on how Yata is the vanguard of Homra. 

his given name Misaki could be a play on how he doesn’t think before he acts more often than not ending up in all sorts of messes, his given name is revealed in a short story yatas mom named her children after plant theme.

the Yata comes from Yatagarasu (八咫烏) the three-legged crow sun incarnate and a symbol of guidance.  Yatagarasu is the three-legged crow that guided Emperor Jimmu on his eastern expedition and is also said to live in the sun. 

Yatagarsu is the misaki of Kumano no Ookami  (熊野大神, Kumano no Ookami) also known as Susano o. This is a callback to how Yata is the vanguard of Homra serving under Mikoto and later Anna. 

Yata is named after the mirror of Yata (八咫鏡, Yata no Kagami) one of the three imperial regalia in Japan the mirror represents honesty and wisdom. this notes how Yata is straightforward and honest about his emotions and his growth and maturity in the series. Yata’s name is connected to Fushimi Yatagarsu and Sarutahiko is known as guides of high-ranking diety both of them have names from guidance kami and are said to pave the way for the rulers. a clever reference to their relationship and their relationships with their respective kings.

eight is a lucky number in Japanese, which may be why he's been lucky so far hasn’t been gravely injured or near death, and rice fields are a source of food which is why he is so full of energy. 

Anna Kushina (櫛名アンナ)

Kushina (櫛名) Kushi (櫛, comb) na (名, name, distinguished, reputation)

There is no meaning of Anna's name in Japanese but someone did make a post that might guess her name could come from the  Christian Bible Apocrypha [Gospel of Jacob] What is Anna the mother of the virgin Mary Anna is known as a woman dressed in red which is annas signature color when she joins Homura and is regarded as a mystic which references Anna's powers of clairvoyance. 

Anna’s last name, Kushina (櫛名) comes from the kami Kushinadahime (Kushinada-hime,櫛名田比売) She is the wife of the kami Susano with is associated with Suoh Mikoto. She was originally going to be eaten by Yamata no Orochi the eight-headed dragon but Susano slew it with Totsuka's sword after making a deal to save her in return for her hand in marriage Susano turned her into a comb to hide while he slew the snake she is named after Kushinadahime who was saved and married subsequently by Susano. 

much like her kami counterpart Kushinadahime, Anna was rescued by Mikoto who is the counterpart for Susano. the snake, in fact, is Mizuchi, Mizuchi is based on the Orochi in mythology his kanji is a Japanese homophone of the water dragon.  who kidnaps Kushina and he kidnaps Anna and makes her a king through his experiments. Anna’s ability and relationship to sync with Mikoto seem to represent the close relationship between Susano and Kushinadahime. Like Totsuka and Kusanagi her name is chosen because of her counterpart connection to Mikoto's counterpart as a close support of his 

Kushi might be a reference to her short hair, "na" is connected to her position as Homra clairvoyant and later red king.

Honami Kushina (櫛名穂波)

Honami’s name (穂波) means “waving heads of grain”, it's mostly like she's a stand-in for Kushinada-hime’s elderly parents who asked for help from Susano. Kushinada-hime mother was a farmer and the goddess of an early harvest and gentle affection, gentle affection is associated with Honami 

Rikio Kamamoto (鎌本力夫)

Rikio’s name is similar to the deity Ame-no-tajikarao (天手力男, Ame-no-tajikarao) with having the same kanji. Ame-no-tajikarao removed the cave door Amaterasu was hiding and pulled her out returning light to the world after she hid from Susano. He is said to have Herculean strength and the kami of power and sports this is a reference to Kamamoto's strength and how he gets Yata out of a depressed funk to get him to save Anna.

Saburōta Bandō (坂東三郎太)

San(三, three) ro (郎, son) ta (太, thick, big). Ban (坂, slope, hill) do (東, east)

Shōhei Akagi (赤城翔平)

Sho(翔, soar, fly) hei (平, level, even, peaceful, flat, board) Aka (赤, red). gi (城, castle) 

Shohei’s surname Akagi is named after Akagi Mountain (赤城山), a stratovolcano with lava domes. the mountain itself is deified at Akagi Jinja at the base of the mountain.

This is noted that Awashima is the only woman in Sceptor 4 in combat. and how Scepter 4 is related to protection Her given name Seri comes from Suseri hime (須世理姫), daughter of the god Susano who was known to have helped her husband 

Ookuniushi the deity of Izumo Taisha passed a harsh test on her father. Ookuniushi was the ruler of Izumo Provance is the counterpart of Kusanagi Izumo note both Kusanagi and awashima's relationship in the series as the clan's second heads.

Sarutahiko is related to the Yata name Yata no kagami is also connected to Sarutahiko, fushimi and yata are both named after kami of guidance, their frequent use in vanguard-like positions shows that they are both people who pave the way or guide the way.

the name Saru was given to him by his father In the story because he mentioned his son looks like a monkey which he himself hates to be called because it reminds him of his father. 

like most Scepter 4 people he's named after a Japanese naval ship

In the story, she was sent to marry Ninigi and had three children with him representing mountains, fire, and water. Her older sister Iwanaga-hime was originally supposed to marry Ninigo but was rejected the lives of the humans would be sort as the cherry blossoms, this bares some semblance like the story where Kisa married Niki solely for his talent nothing else, and how ayas mother hates Fushimi mom 

there interconnected to fushimi in a way as seen in there myth how the charcater in the myth are interconnected. 

Oogai Aya (大貝阿耶)

Kamo is tricky because there is not a concrete reference of a deity he is based on but here is about the possibility of what he was named after. 

one is that he could be named after Kamo-no-ōmikami  [迦毛大御神], also known as Ajisukitakahikone is the deity of agriculture and thunder is the son of okuninushi, and takirihime one of the three Munakata goddesses and father of a rain kami when he was a child he screamed so loudly he had to be put in a boat and sailed around japan until he calmed down.

his name has something to do with his role in the story, there is an old tradition among people whose work involved the sea where the body of a drowned man was used as a talisman of a type of lucky charm the dead body represented the element earth in the five elements, and earth trumps water, so it was said to provide safety and strength in work to those who worked and traveled in the sea. Kusuhara is named after the kami who provides safe passage like a talisman of the drowned man making Sceptor 4 more stable and stronger 

JUNGLE

Hisui Nagare (比水 流)

Hisui (比水) Hi (比, compare, race, ratio) sui (水, water), Nagare (流, current’, ‘flow’, ‘forfeit) 

Hisui has a connection to the god Hiruko (水蛭子 or 比留子) later known as Ebisu (恵比須, 恵比寿, 夷, 戎) his name comes from Ebisu with the same kanji in his name from, he was the deformed leach child of Izanagi and Izanami and was set adrift later he became Ebisu well known for maritime connection. 

his first name Nagare (流) seems to connect to Hiruko as “流” can mean “exile” which Hiruko was first in exile. the heavy water imagery as the reading of the kanji relates to a stream of water or something adrift. 

this description of Nagare being referred to as the god Ebisu matches with Nagare’s status as king role and character in the series.

Ebisu was abandoned by his parents in the myth which referenced Nagare losing his family during the creator accident. in the myth Ebisu is cribbled and deformed this can infer how Nagare lost his heart from the kagutsu creator and how his life was kept alive because of the slate and he is stuck to a wheelchair Nagare is restrained in a wheelchair keep his strong power in check.

ebisu related to prosperity can infer how the jungle is popular with users and with others growing in popularity over the years.

the ocean imagery is how the internet is described as an ocean or sea with the clan being related to an internet chat group and how he swims through the web and technology with his powers

Hisui means "like water”, and may refer to his speed and power (water can be powerful as well) when he uses his king aura or the domain of his clan which resides in the Internet which can be considered the ocean of the web.

Nagare could also mean that but could means “forfeit” which refers to how he lost his own life two times 

Tenkei Iwafune  (磐船天鶏)

Iwafune (磐舟) Iwa (磐, rock, crag, cliff) fune (舟, boat, ship) Tenkei (天鶏) ten (天, heaven, sky, imperial) kei (鶏, domestic chicken).

Otori and Tenkei both point to his loss as he points it out himself in the dream of Green and Iwafune is meant to compliment and counter Hisui Nagare.

Iwafune Tenkei (磐船天鶏) is named after Torinoiwakusufune (鳥之石楠船神) he is the kami of ships who made a boat for the kami hiruko who was abandoned. he acted as the deputy and messager. in the myth, it was said that he was the boat traveling from the land of Kami to the human world. which traveled to the central lan of reed plans from heaven with the speed of the bird and stability of a rock.

Torinoiwakusufune carrying hiruko on a boat references Iwa’s relationship with Nagare that he was the one who was taking care of his needs and the one who kept his powers in check with his fog and restricted him in a chair to prevent his powers from going out of control being metaphorically boat in a way that helps him get from one place 

to another and a rock to keep him stable and is the second command of the jungle despite being a king. might provide a foreshadowing of his true identity as the grey king and his clan cathedral that acts as a sanctuary until the creator's accident.

Iwafune is also from Iwafune Shrine [磐船神社], these shrines are dedicated to a ship the shaped rock believed to be the vessel used by deities when descending the earth. 

Tenkei (天鶏)  is a Chinese constellation “celestial cock” (天雞) which is the rooster in heaven that crows at daybreak. leading roosters on earth to crow after it. this is a reference to his real name Otori which has a bird in the kanji further hinting at his true identity as the grey king.

Seigo Otori (鳳聖悟)

Seigo (聖悟) sei (聖, holy, sage, priest) go (悟, enlightenment, realize, understand), Otori (鳳, large bird refers to either the peng (a Chinese mythological giant bird said to be able to transform into a fish) or the Fenghuang (the Chinese phoenix).

“Seigo” refers to his position as king to cathedral whitch seems to be a church theme clan, looking at "go" might also refer to how he eventually faced the irony of his power as a king 

his entire name referenced the god Torinoiwakusufune seen in this role as his former grey clan and his role in the jungle and to Nagare.

Yukari Mishakuji (御芍神 紫)

Mishakuji (御芍神) mi (御, honorable, manipulate, govern)shaku (芍, peony) ji (神, gods, mind, soul) Yukari (紫,purple)

 the color purple in his name references his image color his name comes from the ancient kami 

Mishakuji (御社) is one of the Sai-no-Kami [塞の神], which means “deity of boundary”. he is the guardian deity of travelers also crosswords and boundaries he guards the boundary of the village or crosswords to prevent evil spirits, disease, or disaster from entering the village. this is a reference to how Yukari acts as a bodyguard to the green clan being their strong muscle and not letting anyone get it.  Yatogami is the deity of the valley which was expelled into the mountains by Matachi and his men for cultivation then drew a boundary between the land of humans and the land of deity keeping Yatogami on the other side.  both Kuroh and Yukari are written as rivels which is seen in their names. 

Miwa, Mishakuji, and Yatogami were all names of serpent deities this is a reference that they were from the colorless clan

Sukuna Gojo (五條スクナ)

Gojo (五條) go (五,five) jo (條, article, clause, item, stripe, streak,logic, paragraph,)

the logic aspect in his name fits him being a video game and combat hustler, if you put "go" and "jo"  together then it might mean "a winning streak” another game-related reference 

Sukuna is named from Sukuna-hikona (スクナヒコナ) is the medicanal kami is the kami riding the wave in a boat from the pod of the flowering vine. He is paired with Onamuchi and the two kami worked together to form the land and invent medicine. he is the deity who aided Ookunimushi in building his nation in myths he stayed beside Ookunimushi all the time. he is the deity known as the "Small Man of the Renown” The Nihon Shoki refers to him as a brat. Looking at this it matches Sukuna to a t, the part with Sukuna being paired and helping Ookunimushi in the myth is his friendship with Nagare and how he helps him with his goals. sukuna is seen riding the waves on a boat is a reference to Iwa who is named after the boat deity. the "Small Man of the Renown” Sukuna proved to be capable in his own right in the use of jungle and how he completes his missions. sukuna being refered to as a brat in muthoology references sukunas young age and bratty personality  

Gojo came from  Gojo-ten Shrine [五条天神宮] shrines dedicated to Sukuna 

Douhan Hirasaka (平坂 道反)

Hirasaka (平坂) Hira (平, flat) saka (坂, slope), Douhan (道反) dou (道, road) han (反, anti)Her surname Hirasaka comes from 

Yomotsu Hirasaka [⻩泉比良坂], the boundary between earth and hell. Dohan  (道反) is from 

Chikaeshi no Ookami [道反大神], the huge rock at Yomotsu Hirasaka which Izanagi used to block the hell’s entrance after he escaped. 

this references how she helped Fushimi in season 2 from getting killed by jungle users by helping him escape and how she saves the other characters from death. 

Kotosaka

Kotosaka has numerous meanings but the meaning I would choose for him would be Kotosaka no kami (言離神] the alias of Hitokotonushi-no- kami [一言主神, literally the God of One Word) and Yomotsukotosakanoo (aka Kotosakanoo-no-Mikoto), a kami of the underworld it means to sever a relationship in the Nihongi he appeared alongside Hayatamanoo (速玉之男神) to sever the relationship between the original kami, Izanagi, and Izanami he was there to hold Izanangi to his oath when Izanagi spoke the words of divorce at the Yomotsu Hirasaka. these meanings fit Kotosaka himself this is in how he was present during Nagare's death and stayed by his side while he was dying and how Kotosaka is always seen talking in one word or repeating something that was said and is used as a medium for Nagare for speaking to others

The colorless clan 

Ichigen Miwa (三輪 一言)

Ichigen (一言) ichi (一,  one) gen (言, say, word), Miwa (三輪) Mi (三, three) wa (輪, wheel, link, loop) "wa" can refer to how he can see the future aka the wheel of fortune and may refer to the fates of his two students. if you look at "mi" and wa together it may refer to his and his students' lives; the way their lives played out may have been something that has already been foreseen. Ichigen might refer to his nature as the “man of his word or “a man of a few words” a play on his art haiku composition. 

Miwa comes from Oomiwa jinja (三輪明神) miwa comes from Mount Miwa, the kami of the mountain Oomononushi, is a serpent holding power over good harvest, sake brewing and protection from infectious diseases but is also known for his ability to curse.  Ichigan comes from 

Hitokotonushi-no- kami [一言主神] sharing the same kanji in the deity's name grants one word wishes to the deity and introduces himself to the emperor as “I am Hitokotonushi-no-kami of Katsuragi, who proclaims evil in a single word, good in a single word.” like Oomononushi he encompasses both good and evil possibilities depending on careful choices.

this is a reference to his art of haiku which Kuroh brings with a recorder. This can reference that he can see the future and predict what is going to happen with a few words

Kokujoji Daikaku(國常路 大覚)

Kokujōji (國常路) Koku (國, country), jō (常, usual, normal, regular),  ji (路, path, road, distance), Daikaku (大覚) dai (大, large, big, great) Kaku (覚, learn, remember, awake).

jo might refer to himself before he became king and his way of running things has been the normal ji for the country of Japan after he became king. “great learning” references his clan's ability or the great remembrance of his friends who guided him through the years.

his name Koukujouji (國常路) is a reference to Kunitokotachi no Kami ( 國常立神). He is the first of the three kami born after heaven and earth were born out of chaos and is considered the very representation of Japan itself and one of the founding kami. His first name Daikaku (大覚) comes from Daikaku-ji (大覚寺) a Buddhist temple in Kyoto that holds the Five Knowledge Kings they have much knowledge and power which allows them to influence reality known to use their power to get rid of evil influences. this is pretty self-explanatory this references to his bond with the Silver King who references Isanagi and the Dresidian trio being one of the first kings that shaped Japan 

He is the backbone of the contry and its entire properoty was on him and he makes sure evil infleunces like nagare and mizuchi are wiped out. 

Kukuri Yukizome (雪染 菊理)

Kukuri is named after Kukuri hime no kami (菊理姫神) the goddess of meditation, negotiation, matchmaking, and marriage. She mediated on behalf of Izanami and Izanagi when Izanagi talked to her during the month of the underworld and reconciled them, bringing peace to the world mediating between the living and the dead. This matches Kukuri very well 

reflects her cheerful personality and friendship with Shiro she is sociable and helpful she helps mediate the chaos of the awakening superpowers and she is Shiro's link to a normal life. 

Hieda Touru (稗田透)

Hieda (稗田) Hie (稗, Japanese barnyard millet) da (田, paddy, field), Touru (透, transparent  permeable, porous passable, (in the sense of objects spaced far enough apart to allow something in-between)

His first name Tooru is jampacked of meaning this can reference his lack of presence and his harmless appearance and ability to blend in the background which is why he was chosen by Nagare to be the host body for the colorless king. and that he was once a vessel for the colorless king to inhibit. 

Hieda may refer to  Hieda no Are (稗田 阿礼) a person known for being vital to kojikis completion. little is known about Hidea no Are including gender but some theorize they may be distant descendants of the goddess Ameno-Uzume. This is a reference to his appearance in the story as early as completing the plan for the silver king to be drawn out. 

Saya Konohana (木野花 沙耶)

Saya (沙耶) sa (沙, sand) ya (耶, question mark), konohana (木野花) ko (木, field, wilderness) Hana (花, flower, blossom)

Saya’s entire name comes from  Konohanasakuya-hime (木花開耶姫) the kami of cherry blossoms and mt fuji she was said to be in charge of volcanos and has an explosive temper this is a reference to her uncontrollable power in the beginning in the route. 

Mitsuha Kurayama (闇��� 光葉)

 Kurayama(闇山) Kura (闇, dark) Yama (山, mountain), Mitsu (光, light), ha (葉, leaves)

the kanji in the given name doesn't match the kami I was thinking of but if there's one thing that his surname is Kurayama (闇山) in fact If I were to guess what he is based on I would think it is Kuramitsuha (闇御津羽神 – Ravine Water Rushing). Kuramitsuha is one of the two kami born from the blood of Kagutsuchi after he was beheaded by Izanagi, the blood caught on the sword hilt formed this kami.

another kami would be Kurayamatsumi (闇山津見神 – Mountain Gorge Majesty) the kami born from the body of Kagutsuchi after he was beheaded and was born from Kagutsuchi’s privates

I find his connection to the kami Kagutsuchi is a reference to Mitsuha’s obsession with becoming Kagustsu in the series which led to a twisted fascination with Suoh. 

Somei Nazumi (初衣 泥)

Uhijininokami, Suhichininokami ※God of the earth (宇比邇神 須比智邇神)
