It may look like an innocent green plant, but its name evokes something far closer to a robot or interstellar rocket. Neo Px is a bioengineered plant capable of purifying indoor air at an unprecedented scale, the first in a potentially long line of such super-powered organisms. "It's the equivalent of up to 30 regular houseplants in terms of air purification," said Lionel Mora, co-founder of startup Neoplants. "It will not only capture, but also remove and recycle, some of the most harmful pollutants you can find indoors." Five years ago, the entrepreneur met Patrick Torbey, a genome editing researcher, who dreamed of creating living organisms "with functions." "There were plants around us, and we thought that the most powerful function we could add to them was to purify the air," said Mora, during a tour of a rented greenhouse in Lodi, California, two hours from San Francisco.

Bofurin Are Named After Plants (Part 1)

I like Wind Breaker, but what I like more is the creative thought process that goes behind a character's name.

Here's a post about the plants the Bofurin characters are named after.

Since there are some anime-only people on this site, the first part will only be about the Bofurin members who have been officially introduced and their affiliates.

Let's start with the MC:

Sakura (桜) means Cherry Blossom.

(Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura also uses the kanji for Sakura in her name and both are born April 1).

The Nire (楡) in Nirei means Ulmus davidiana var. japonica, commonly known as the Japanese Elm.

Suo is an interesting case. Instead of having one syllable in his name being a word for a plant, both of the syllables in his name make up one word for the plant he's named after. In his case, Suo (蘇枋) means Biancaea sappan. The sappan plant can be used as dye, called Sappanwood, and the color is a reddish brown just like Suo's hair color. The color is actually called Suo in Japanese, which is actually really creative on the author's part.

The Sugi in Sugishita (杉) is the Japanese word for Cryptomeria japonica, commonly known as the Japanese cedar.

The Ume in Umemiya means plum (梅)

Hiiragi (柊) is the word for Osmanthus heterophyllus, which is commonly known as either holly osmanthus, holly olive or false holly.

For Bofurin's affiliates, they also have plant names too.

Kotoha's surname is Tachibana (橘), which means mandarin (as in the orange). This sort of goes along with her foster brother Umemiya who is also named after a fruit.

Sasaki, the middle school kid Bofurin saved from Shishitoren, is quite an interesting case. Sasaki is a common surname, but the way his name is spelled is actually a bit different from the more commonly way Sasaki is spelled. In Sasaki's case, the sasa in his name means bamboo (笹).

Not only are the people named after plants, but the shops too!

The cafe Sakura frequents and the one where Kotoha works is called Pothos, which is a plant.

The bakery that Sakura gets his bread from is called Saboten, which is the Japanese word for Cactus.

As a writer, the creativity behind the plant theme names really gets to me. I can tell the author put a lot of thought into their names and have them be consistent with a certain theme.

However, Bofurin itself means wind chime which doesn't really fit the plant theme, but it is powered up by the wind, which is a part of nature, which plants are from. I guess that counts?

Anyways, if you enjoyed reading this post, I'll be back with a part 2 once more Bofurin members are introduced.

Here's a video I made for this trivia.

[los-plantalones]

experienced a holiday mishap when the lights i was whimsically hanging on a bookcase knocked over a giant pothos plant onto my head and dirt was all in the crevices of both the books and my person. and as if to mock me for my whimsy, the plant pot didn’t just hit the ground, oh no – it landed on one of the dog���s talking buttons and said in my wife’s voice, “NO!”
