English words are popular in Japan for branding and marketing purposes, even kids are given English names because it sounds good. One kid I met was named “Taxi”. Even t-shirts with English words on it are popular as long as the logo is cool and the design has vibrant colors.
I was at the heart of Kobe’s Sannomiya fashion center and I saw a Japanese guy wearing a Gay and Lesbian shirt with a rainbow logo, walking with his girlfriend. I thought it was kind of funny because he didn’t speak any English and when my buddy asked him, he didn’t have a clue what it said; he just liked the colors.
Up close the shirt reads, “Gay Lesbian Surf Association. Come on out, the water is fine.”

I think,the boys name is not taxi.It is TAKESHI,a common name in Japan.
It is meaning of health,strong and fine.
Normally a Japanese does not put an English name to a child.
I saw a local boy in Guam at last year.
The boy wearing t-shirt that a big Japanese letter is written in the back.
The Japanese is meaning that says that I am an extraordinary masochist .
Also I think ,Chinese character of Western tattoo having many strange things.
Do you think a letter of Japan cool?
By the way, I saw a local boy in Guam last year.
The boy wearing a t-shirt that a Japanese big letter entered in the back.
The Japanese is meaning that says ,
I am an extraordinary masochist.
Chinese character
tattoo of it and a kanji is strange is frequent
The kids name was Taxi, his mother spelled it in English. Yes a lot of people in the US have tattoos with characters from other languages, I think it looks cool but I don’t normally know the meaning until I ask them.
