Mufasa Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 It's actually Japanese people calling him "Killer", but because of their accent, it came out "Kira". Funny huh?
bunny: spider bitten Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 A common misunderstanding of the name Kira is that it means "killer" in Japanese. This is not true. Kira does not mean "killer" in Japanese, but when a person is speaking Japanese tries to pronounce the word "killer" it comes out sounding like "Kira" because L's in Japanese are pronounced as r's. Still, it's an incredibly common name.
sunshineYON Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 The japanese does not have the 'r' sound at all. To compensate, they slap 'r's onto wherever both 'r's and 'l's make sense, even though they pronounce it with 'l's. For example, "kira" is actually pronounced "kila".

Mufasa Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 Light explained this in like episode 3 or 2.... He didn't explain that it was because the japanese people couldn't say it right though.
sunshineYON Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Light explained this in like episode 3 or 2.... He joked about how he didn't like the name in a connotative sense but was glad he was getting recognized. Yeah, I remembered that part.
