What each kanji means
Originally meaning 'to rank next' or 'Asia', in names it works as an elegant phonetic character for the 'a' sound. Common in feminine names like Ami (亜美) and Arisa (亜里沙), it gives a soft, international feel.
A classical Buddhist transliteration character — the 陀 of Amida Buddha (阿弥陀) and Buddha (仏陀) himself. Rare in modern names, it lends sutra-deep classical gravity.
Warrior, martial valor — the 武 of bushido (武士道) and warlord Takeda Shingen (武田信玄). Takeshi (武) carries samurai strength; the character's roots mean 'to stop conflict' — strength as peacekeeping.
