who wud have thought it was kurama

[scottyy]

its such a cool name for the kyubbi suits him well

 

[jeanwolfe]

In sanskrit it means fish avatar of vishnu.

 

[Kurisutina]

I kinda did ~-~ Kurama is usually closely associated with Foxes so it would kinda make sense for his name to be Kurama.

 

[Punk Hazard]

i thought kurama meant car

 

[Lord Snow]

Yea its kinda cool, but was'nt their a charcter in a filler with that name

 

[Dr Strangelove]

The name does sound good on him.

Did you take this from Yu Yu Hakusho or something? The guy was called Kurama the Fox

That's what I thought as well when I heard it, like a blast from the past. x.x I wonder where kishi got these names.

 

[ReXii]

Why does everyone think he stole them from other manga's lol the names are pretty famous in japan for different reasons they dont solely belong to the shows or mangas xd

 

[Kirin Rei]

i thought kurama meant car

車 or クルマ or くるま (kuruma) - car

鞍馬 or クラマ or くらま (Kurama) - Name of the Kyuubi


I didn't see the Japanese version of the manga yet, so I'm not sure which alphabet Kishi used to write ''Kurama''. I just added the possibilites for it in Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana.

Yup, probably.
By the way, Mt. Kurama was where the legendary Sojobo lived. Sojobo was a yamabushi (something like a mountain sage) Tengu if I recall correctly, with long white hair and a sharp nose.

Jiraiya, anyone?

 

[ReXii]

I was just thinking that lol
