Doku

Doku is a term with multiple meanings across languages and contexts.

In German, Doku is an informal abbreviation for Dokumentation, used to refer to documentary films or television programs. It is common in media and everyday speech, as in phrases like eine Doku über Umweltfragen or die neue Doku-Serie.

In Turkish, doku means tissue or texture. It is used in biology to describe bodily tissues, such as kas dokusu (muscle tissue) or deri doku (skin tissue), and in a broader sense to denote the texture or structure of materials.

In Japanese, the kanji 毒 is read as doku in on’yomi and means poison. It appears in compounds such as dokubutsu (poisonous substance) and dokuyaku (poison drug), and the term is encountered in toxicology and pharmacology contexts.

As a name, Doku may appear as a surname or given name in some cultures and can also function as a brand or title in various media contexts, independently of the above meanings.
