of the
Shinigami's names are similar to their human names, in some way or another, both giving a boundary to their past, while also maintaining the connections they have forgotten (which fits with teh ending of the manga, not so much with the anime). For Meroko, her Shinigami name is an anagram of her human name, while Izumi's name is simply changed from Lio to Rio (perhaps do denote the fact that he didn't forget most of his past like the others normally do).

What about Takuto's name, though? He has different ways of writing his name: His name was written as Kira Takuto when he was human (family name, first name), which was written as åè¯æ人. When he became a shinigami, his name was written in full katakana, with his first name being... well, first:ãã¿ã¯ãã»ãã©.
502:
Yeah, but that's what we tend to expect it to be spelled as since that's why we do it in
English. For Viz to deliberately make it one word, makes me think maybe Shueisha or Tanemura told them it was intended to be a single word. I took a look at the anime. On the CDs and posters shown n the series,

From my understanding, his human name was Kira Takuto, while as a shinigami, it was reversed to Takuto Kira and the way it is written is changed, though its pronounced the same. So when
Wakaouji see's him and recognizes him, he calls him Takuto, the name he called the human who knew. It seems most
634:
It's somewhat significant, though. I saw your page and it doesn't look like you know
Japanese, so you might not understand the significance of the differences. These names use different characters, and Takuto's shinigami name uses katakana, which can stand for anything. However, when written in

It doesn't particularly matter though. The
English names are what we use here, which is what was being pointed out here. While I may not know Japanese to a great degree, I do have a basic understanding of the language constructs being discussed (along with a smattering of actual words I can

I'm working on the
English names from the manga now. Most are the same except the English ones have none of the Japanese symbols, and Full Moon is written as Fullmoon. I also moved second names into the prose, such as Meroko's real name. Hope that helps.
541:
If it's shown as
Fullmoon in the anime, that would make it definitive. Wouldn't be the first time an English word or phrase has been used in a way slightly off from standard English useage. I'll change it to Fullmoon (for the character) in the article.
437:
Ah, now that is the question :P When I ran the kanji through a converter, it comes out as Furumūn rather than Furu Mūn. However, it might be good to ask someone for the project with more expertise in
Japanese to see what they think?

the Viz translation graphic novel uses lower-case o "Full Moon o
Sagashite" in the inside pages such as the character introductions and in the author's notes, thus treating it like those prepositions. See the free preview pages at

Yep, that's how its spelled in the manga. Not sure why though I guess because
Fullmoon is her "created" stage name, while in the show title, it translates to "Searching for a Full Moon" and also ties to Mitsuki's

This kind of defines the boundary of his past and present, and it becomes fairly obvious that "Takuto" is not just his shinigami name when Wakaouji sees him.

The English translated title capitalizes the "o." You would have to redo all the entire templates to change the article use the lowercase. I agree with

So if it's known as "Full Moon" in English, shouldn't it be moved to "Full Moon"? Or is that the Anime name, and not the manga name?
