minus-squareLeon@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-22 days agoNah it’s kirakira names in general. So weird made-up readings, pop culture references 光宙 (pikachuu falls under both), foreign words, and taboo/denigrating names. For example. 皇帝 (koutei) meaning emperor, read as Kaiser 光宙 (kou, light and chuu, space) read as Pikachuu 愛保 (ai, to love, and go ho, to keep) read as Rabuho (love hotel) 宝冠 (takara, treasure and kanmuri, crown) read as Tiara.
