A married otaku fan of eroge classic Kana: Little Sister had some explaining to do after his wife found out that he had named their daughter “Kana,” after the girl from the game, not after some a character from classical literature as he had claimed…
The man apparently harboured a great respect for adult game classic 加奈 〜いもうと〜 / Kana: Imouto (available in English), and when he learnt his child was to be a girl, he knew “I had no other choice but to call her Kana.”
Since his wife had dibs on naming the child if it was a boy, he was able to name her Kana, telling his wife it was from a book he had read in which “Kana” was a “wonderful, good little girl.”
However, he had kept the game’s box underneath his keyboard, and his wife happened upon it and realised his deception.
When he returned he was confronted, and soon had to explain himself to his wife and both his and her parents; since they had no idea what an “eroge” was, he was forced to play it in front of them.
We do not hear what the results of this encounter were, but his rather optimistic speculation on 2ch was “Perhaps they’ll be so moved by it they will forgive me?”
2ch was naturally in its element in helping/excoriating him:
“Poor Kana-chan.”
“Just say your daughter’s name came first, and you bought the game because it excited you.”
“That’s sheer genius.”
“It’s sheer perversion.”
“What’ll you tell her when she has to find out her name’s etymology at school?”
“I was intending to give my daughter an ancient name too: Haruhi. Sadly, I couldn’t. I’m jealous of your bravery!”
“It’s a good name, he should be given a break. Just because it’s from a 2D work is no reason to scorn it.”
“If his daughter finds out she might kill herself.”
“I wonder what a classmate’s reaction would be to an ‘Izumi Konata’ in the class. Well, I’m a virgin anyway, so…”
“Why was I named after a character from a BL manga? She told me it was a character from a manga she liked…”
“I was going to call my daughter Fuuko, but my wife watches anime and so when Clannad came out I had to change it. Now I will call her Fuuka so I’m safe.”
“In 15 years there will be a lot of Miku about…”
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
“Divorce.”
“It’s a great game so it’ll be safe!”
Questionable naming practices have been all the rage in Japan for some time now…

KANA GA IIKO DA
^
That really reminds me of the game
its stupid to even think of criticize the men, i mean comon what's ur name? john? hannah? whatever? google ur name and u'll probably would find pornstars with the same name. Coincidence or not its a name pornstars r ppl so they name like normal ppl, same goes for movies, games characters. he named her daughter kana, so what? just cuz the kana from the game is ecchi doesnt mean the baby girl it is or has to be too. i think the woman was just looking for an excuse to get attention. woman u FAIl. b glad the guy still likes u as much as he likes the daughter after what u have done.
"to explain himself to his wife and both his and her parents; since they had no idea what an “eroge” was"
I lol'ed so hard on this
He could have just said it the idea came from Kana from Kanamemo.
Now all girls named Kana will be asking "Daddy did you play that game too?"
^
THIS!
simca was amused
*awards 'otaku father of the year award' to that dad*
rofl
also the *'LOL award of the day' to that dad*
who cares if those awards are just made up, simca is amused so go shoo~
In the guy's defence, I will point out that Kana ~Imouto~ is a classic, beautiful and extremely moving utsuge which has achieved semi-legendary status for it's tear-jerking qualities. While it would be a bit embarassing to name your daughter after a h-game character, the name Kana does have strong emotional associations for fans.
At least it sounds like a name! Unlike those bizzare stuff some fellows with their heads in the clouds could come up with. Like Renesmee or some name written in binary.
I wish my name were written in binary.
awesome game but somewhat sketchy giving his daughter that name...
pro father. too bad he just had to keep the box, like all otaku. would have been epic.
I bet his wife, since she could name the boy, would name it pico anyway.
^
LOL
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…” <<< LMFAO~!
Actually I'm gonna do the same thing.
My (hopefully) daughter is gonna be half Japanese half Turkish and I plan on naming her either after one of my favourite eroge or ero manga characters.
Or video game character - I might go for Ayane from DoA.
I want to name my son with the main character's name in the anime "Interlude"
Wohoo! Epic father of the year!
Oh boy, have I got a story to tell...
In the mid '90s, I heard about a couple who named their daughter "Gwaelyn", after the princess in the American Dragon Warrior 1. I remember thinking at the time, "what a couple of nerds, naming their kid after a character from a video game.."
Flash forward to 2008, when my daughter was born and I decided to name her Luna Alexandria. By an incredible coincidence, she happened to be born during a lunar eclipse, so I told my wife that was what inspired me (rather than the characters from a beloved Sega CD game =p). I also had the advantage of a nicer name than the one my wife suggested; Gwendolyn Akiko... ugh.
considering the VP of overstock sharres her name with a porn star
Stormy Simon (the vp) Stormy Daniels(the pornstar)
i say who cares where the name came from
IT WAS A COINCIDENCE LEAVE HIM ALONE
After seeing the bravery this man had, i decided to name my first child, female or not, as "Butseks".
Surprise birthday parties would never get boring.
Moral of te story?
Only get digital stuff. No phisical copies.
I'm naming my daughter Kudryavka from Kudryavka Naomi, and in case anyone bitches about anything i'll just say i picked up from the russian dog that was sent to fry on a russian rocket.
Kana is a perfectly fine name,my two cousin have very weird name
1) Denver (27 year old hikikomori)
2) Sony (35 maybe mom with 2 kid)
Win.
Some things are best lied about, even to the dearest of your family. Nobody would argue with, "I liked how it sounded."
Are there any subtleties of the Japanese language that makes it near impossible for the characters to mean anything else?
How many ways can you spell Kana as a name?
Better than the father of that baby Sephiroth.
Kana ~Imouto~ really had a emotionally touching story though. I wouldn't have mind reading it without the hentai scenes either.
What? I have every intention of naming my daughter Lilia. The name sounds normal enough so it's not a problem but guess were i got it from.
June and May here.
that dad wins
Yeah, but what dumbass hides an eroge under his keyboard?
He deserves a WinRAR ! :D
EPIC ETYMOLOGY LOL
*Gendo Ikari*
if its a girl REI, if its a boy SHINJI.
:D
I'll name my SON .
I thought the story was beautiful. I think it’s great but it could have been worse. My niece likes the nickname “Yazmin” which sounds like the star of some bad 3d trap porn.
ohhh fuck yea
nice work, dear sir
stand up for a round of applause
Well, Kana is a common name so it could have been from anywhere...
He could even say he named it after Minami "I Am Boss" Kana...
I like the 2 responses:
~ “It’s a good name, he should be given a break. Just because it’s from a 2D work is no reason to scorn it.”
and
~ “My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
Her wife plays too much Persona games
*His
Erika Sendou sounds like a passable normal name, right? Worst comes to worst, I'll tell her I named her after the pokemon trainer.
Erika is normal but Sendou... good luck with the surname
Was the first(and last cuz my comp broke down) visual novel I've played, and WTF I had that exact same idea to name my future daughter Kana if I ever got one....
hmmm mebbe after this article was written I'll go with something less suspicious like Minorin or Kagamin....OH WAIT
See, this is why you have to have a backup plan before you name a child after something that your wife won't respect.
I'm sure the name Kana can be found SOMEWHERE in Japanese classical literature. The idiot just needed to find it somewhere and remember where he found it BEFORE ever suggesting it. Then he's got the source handy if his wife ever suspects anything. It's not rocket science.
1+
+2
It'd amuse me to see listings of Goku, Naruto, and maybe even Luffy in the census. Female candidates: Rei, Asuka, Tamaki(ToHeart), etc
But "Kana: Little Sister" IS a prime example of classical literature!
too bad at the current rate the Japanese will become extinct before an eroge becomes classical literature.
uhh IT IS CLASSICAL check the age of the game its already one asides from the remake and an all age version i believe quite so
"..since they had no idea what an “eroge” was, he was forced to play it in front of them."
i'd lose my dignity doing this.
Eh it wouldn't be too bad as long as they didn't get as far as the first ero scenes, which take awhile to reach....
Now that would be awkward....
Yeah, Kana: Little Sister has more texts and less choices than most Visual Novels, so I doubt they could reach the end.
I hope he'll play Kana's path though; with the end, there are more chances they would be moved indeed. I'm not sure anymore whether the scene I'm remembering is the good end or bad end, oh well.
Yeah hopefully he knows the game well enough (I imagine he's have memorized every ending if he named his loli after her) to give the most moving ending.
I concur, hopefully he'd be able to show them the 6th ending of the game.
I respect him for naming her after it since Kana: Little Sister, IMHO, still remains as the most brilliant piece of storytelling ever to be masterfully executed in an eroge.
To quote a review on it, "It is the greatest story that will never be told."
Your dignity as a grown man would already be gone if you couldn't tell them to fuck off.
I do have to say how they found this out?
“That’s sheer genius.”
I concur.
It can't be helped.
"It's sheer perversion."
But it still can't be helped.
it can't be helped
it's sheer genius
Thank you Artefact thanks to this article I remembered this game.
GG
Could be worse.
Could've called his girl Rinoa like that one time a couple years ago. =/
“My damn wife called my daughter ‘Mikaeru,’ what a stupid name! She said if it was a boy she’d call him ‘Lucifer’, what…”
I think this needs more attention.
indeed, I can imagine that a child named Lucifer and growing up in some random religious school, just think of the looks on teachers faces during roll call :D
Remember Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa?
Yeah.
Yeah, it could have been way worse. Sadly, I may end up in that position one day.
**********
As I sat in front of my computer, typing away at my keyboard, a slight knock came from the door.
"Come in." I yelled.
"Daddy?" My daughter walked into the room. She was only eight years old at the time, and as innocent as an angel. After her mother dying during labor, I sent out to be the best father in the world. To me, I thought I had accomplished it, yet not without a few drawbacks.
"The kids were bullying me at school today again." She whimpered as tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Aw, there there. Come to daddy."
She dropped her school bag and ran up to me. Grabbing her, I lifted into the air, as she cried on my shoulder.
"They always make fun of my name at school!"
"That's because they're jealous. Not everyone can be named after an inspiring woman like yourself."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Now cheer up for daddy."
Her face let out a half smile. Though, for an innocent girl like her, it wasn't good enough, so I sat her down and started tickling her. She began to laugh, and any sadness she had left vanished.
"Stop! It tickles!" She laughed.
"Now that's the smile I always want to see on your face. Why don't we go get ice cream!"
"Really!?"
"Yeah. I think you deserve it."
"Yay!" She ran around in circles, excited about what I think is nothing more than a small snack, but the most wonderful treat in the world to her.
"I love you daddy!" She told me.
"And I love you too, Kotonoha."
**********
Who am I kidding? I'm fucked when I name my kid.
LOL? can't imagine myself naming my daughter after Yuuko or C.C.(the hell?!), but maybe I'll do it. But I'm worried it might cause incest. LOL
you ,sir, won my Internet
you, sir, are a win.
ditto that!!!
3rd. *shed my manly tears*
4th, for being so d'aaaaaw & make me b'aaaaaw at the same time
A few weeks after the scene above occurs:
Peter Barton: *drives into the driveway towing a boat behind his car*
Kotonoha: "Wow daddy, that's a really nice boat!
man you're a genious
What's that from?
Thanks
wow father of the year lol >.>
He wins at life.
Most epic father, am I right?
epic win with the name but epic fail with how he tried to deceive his wife and how he tried to hide his visual novel.. tsk tsk.
hahaha....most epic father indeed. If the mother stays with the dad....never leave the child alone with him.....it just becomes a little complicated, noting the nature of the name. Eroge. Some people might just want to separate pleasure from your children? haha some of the comments are funny.
BUT if I have son, it shall be named, Krauser-samaaaa!
That's not fair none taken, I think he should be left alone with his daughter. Enjoying an eroge and naming your daughter after it doesn't mean you'll molest her any more than it means if I name my son 'Lawliet' that I'm going to give him a heart attack.
Dude fucked up.
Nice name, though; not _necessarily_ related to an ero-game ("No, really! Ignore what was under my keyboard! I named her after "Chidori Kaname", the hot chick from 'Full Metal Panic!' Oh, wait, no... ah, shit.")
I'm compelled to ask why he hid it under the keyboard....out of all places..
Could be an eye rhyme. You never know. At least Endeavor tried.
First off, Endeavor, your rhyme is stupid. Second, there is a difference having the real cd and the packaging rather then just having a iso file in the computer.
And with the iso file, it's just a safety pass, as your wife could find the real disk and force you to throw it away... Ohhh, i have an iso file as backup so...
rhyme?? Can't you guys speak without them, it's not like i'm writing a song... And what I said is what I meant, feel free to try to write what I wrote with a rhyme if you'd like to...
A name is a prayer. Is it so wrong to pray that her daughter to be as sweet as Kana?
I'd say F.U. wife! Giving a name from "My Little Sister Kana" isn't the same as "My Stepsister Hitomi".
Umm, his wife?
I would create an ISO image of the disc and safely store it in my hard drive.
How about a false bottom like in death note... she may burn but never touch my porn!
who looks under your keyboard forporn?
lol some1's bound to notice the keyboard being slighlty elevated
Its over 9000!! Well maybe not, but still darn epic.
john doe, I think it's not that shameful. for me it's actually an epic win since he had the courage to name his daughter after a very popular visual novel...
maybe a accident maybe, i mean maybe it was a the first thing he thought of.
The most shameful thing in his life XD Booyah!!
