Kyouma

Kyouma is a masculine given name of Japanese origin. As with many Japanese names, its meaning is not fixed and depends on the kanji characters chosen to write it. Because there are multiple possible kanji combinations for the two syllables, Kyouma can express a variety of meanings, each unique to the chosen characters. The same pronunciation can thus carry different nuances in different families or works of fiction.

In terms of pronunciation and orthography, the name is commonly pronounced with a long first vowel, yielding kyōma in standard romanization. It may also be written as Kyouma or Kyoma in less formal contexts. The long vowel is indicated in formal romanization as Ō in Kyōma, but is often shortened in everyday use.

Usage and cultural context: Kyouma is used as a male given name in Japan. It is relatively uncommon compared with more traditional names, but it is recognizable in contemporary settings and media. The flexibility of kanji means that the name can be adapted to convey different impressions, from traditional to modern, depending on the characters chosen.

In fiction and popular media, Kyouma appears as a given name for various male characters across anime, manga, and video games. These uses illustrate the name’s versatility and its suitability for characters with a range of personalities and roles.
