The Heart of Name Analysis by Mitsuki Jumeishi (171)

I love a program called "Hakase-chan" that airs every Saturday on the TV Asahi network, and I watch it every week. It is a program that follows children from elementary to junior high school age who are obsessed with their own "favorite things" in various genres, learning and delving deep into them. I am surprised every time by their expertise and deep knowledge, despite being children.

The number of "Hakase-chan" (little experts) who have appeared since the show started is quite significant. Starting with the "Vegetable Hakase-chan" who appeared in the first episode and left a strong personal impression, there have been so many that it is hard to list them all, such as the "Egypt Hakase-chan," "Castle Hakase-chan," "World Heritage Hakase-chan," "Nebuta Hakase-chan," and "Katsushika Hokusai Hakase-chan." Children who have time, curiosity, and the cooperation of their parents can become quite the "experts."

The program also follows up on them from time to time, and many of them are growing up smoothly and strengthening their expertise. I have reached an age where I am called a "grandfather," but when I see them, a generation like my grandchildren, I find myself strangely reassured that "Japan's future will be fine," which makes me laugh at myself.

This is because I believe that the stagnation of Japan over the last 30 years was caused by "exam elites" who did not listen to the "voice of their hearts" regarding their own interests and concerns, and who pursued only test scores without questioning their teachers, textbooks, or parents, taking on the central roles in Japanese society.

In the program that aired last time (12/20), an elementary school student <rakugo performer> appeared for the first time. Not only was he remarkably skilled for an elementary school student, but his very demeanor was reminiscent of a "great master rakugo performer of the Showa era." Even though I have seen many "super elementary school students" on the program, I honestly could not hide my surprise.

[Genetics] 28 [Interpersonal] 23 [Instinct] 11 [Essence] 16 [Destiny] 39

Since he is still an elementary school student (I believe he was in the 4th grade, 10 years old...), the number of strokes influencing him is limited. At his age, the [Genetics] 28 strokes, [Interpersonal] 23 strokes, and [Instinct] 11 strokes, which are acting centrally right now, are likely the ones. The [Genetics] 28 strokes include conscientiousness, seriousness, and the stubbornness that comes from that. It also has an aspect of being an "athlete number" that likes to move the body, so his body is robust.

The [Interpersonal] 23 strokes is a 3-series number that is skilled at speaking, which best tells the story of his ability to memorize and perform rakugo since he was young. [Instinct] is the 11 strokes that push forward according to one's own will. Combined with the 23 strokes, his logical thinking ability must be quite high. The 28, 23, and 11 strokes that are exerting power centrally up to the present (10 years old) can be summarized in one word as "power numbers," so it is no wonder he can engage in activities that catch the eye of the program.

Furthermore, his [Essence] is the 16 strokes, where healing is his reason for living. His life's purpose is simply to do something for others. Rakugo is a traditional performing art that can truly heal people, so he will be able to smoothly connect his present to his life goal as it is. As for him, he will never end up "struggling between what he likes and his work," which is something many people fall into while climbing the stairs to adulthood.

And his [Destiny], the culmination of his life, is the 39 strokes, which is known for "late bloomer" success and is particularly strong among the so-called "leader luck" numbers. The most famous person with this number is Ieyasu Tokugawa, and since it is a number of strokes that becomes a more powerful fortune as one adds age, in that sense, it may be the best lucky number for the profession of a rakugo performer. At 10 years old, he is already such a talented person that one might say he will be a Living National Treasure in the future. Speaking in terms of name analysis. Haha
