“Natural leadership supported by loyal allies.”

What each kanji means
Ambition, will, aspiration — the samurai virtue of a resolved heart. Tsukasa, Shiho (志保), Satoshi: it plants determination at the core of a name.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
Two; second. Classic in names like Kenji (健二) and Shinji (真二), traditionally marking a second son — steady, supportive, reliable.
