Hashirama' (柱間) is a Japanese word referring to the space between two pillars.

'Tobirama' (扉間) means 'the space between two doors'. 'Doors' (扉, tobira) are seen as the access to progress and improvement which alludes to his role as the Hokage that built up Konoha's infrastructure. '扉' is also used to refer to title pages, tying in with the Hokage title, as a Hokage is as representative for the village as the title page is for a book.

Itama (板間) is Japanese word referring to the space between two wooden slats on a duckboard, a type of platform built to create a dry passage over muddy, or wet terrain.

Kawarama (瓦間) is a Japanese word referring to the space between two roof tiles.

wonder if kishi did that for a reason. haveing every name of the brothers refer to a space between two objects
not sure if its interesting to anyone else but just figured id share anyway

and the dads-"Butsuma" (仏間) is a word referring to a Buddhist family chapel or an altar room.
tho i dont see where that fits in

All those things are found in a chapel, or in this case butsuma, so i guess kishi did this to alude that they were butsuma's children?

Nice observation there. Also the place where Hashirama and Madara first met was a river. And many times Kishimoto drew them on opposite sides. Don't know if we over analyze this but who knows, maybe it was for the same reason that the names have similar meaning.

lol if names were actually symbolic, then Sakura would be a representation of Magikarp.

(Sakura = fish)

It's RAMA, not DAMA.

BTW... it would be like Naruto having a Doujutsu.

Sasuke has Sharingan
Neji has Byakugan
Naruto has... Rasengan.

Ok no, worst joke ever :|
