What each kanji means
To govern, to heal — order restored. Osamu (治) and Haruji recall the Meiji (明治) era of modernization; a name for one who sets things right.
An inlet or bay — calm water protected from the open sea. A classical character seen in Edo (江戸) and countless place names; in given names it adds serene, traditional grace.
Tranquil, courteous — the 寧 of 丁寧 (politeness/care). In names like Nene (寧々) — famously the wife of warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi — it blesses peaceful gentleness.
Beauty — the most direct aesthetic blessing in the language. Mi endings (Emi 恵美, Manami 愛美, Yumi 由美) have adorned generations; the character itself depicts a great offering, beauty as generosity.
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.
