Akinori MUSHA / knu

Name Trivia

My family name MUSHA (武者) means samurai, or to translate it literally, "brave one". My given name, Akinori (晶紀) was named by my parents after two kanji that appear in a phrase "shine in the next (21st) century".

After years passed and the new millennium arrived, I was lucky enough to have a son of my own. I named him after the family story in the hope that he will pioneer the new century himself even after I get dim.
