Mine's kind of long to explain, but it explains me pretty well. My name is taken from "Haruhito Wada" it's an alias I used when I was doing research of my PSX project. Japanese are a bit xonophobic, you see. I used that name so that Japanese I chatted with online would talk to me a bit more freely. Social Engeneering at it's best. There are chinese characters for that name too. "Haru" is spring and "hito" is person. The last name is "wa" which is "old japan" and "da" is rice field.The reason I chose "Haruhito" as the first name was because it was the first name of the Japanese character designer for "Macross" (Haruhito Mikimoto) It's because of that anime I speak Japanese today. Haruhito Mikimoto was often called "haru-kun" for short (-kun is a japanese term of endearment, kind of like -san is for honorable people) or simply "hal"
HAL is also the name of the computer in 2001. If you take the letters HAL and write out the next letter in sequence H becomes I, A becomes B, and L becomes M
HAL -> IBM
Which are the type of computers I program on.
The last name "Wada" was the last name of a dear Japanese friend when I lived in Japan from 1992-1996. Her name was Yukiko Wada. I had very strong feelings for her but was unable to communicte them very well because I didn't know enough Japanese at the time. This is another reason why I speek Japanese so well now. I use the Yukiko's name in the past tense because about a month ago she got married to an American serviceman in Japan. I beleave her last name is "Brown" now.
