Guardian?

[Hogosha]

Does anyone know what Guardian is in Japanese?

Your name Hogosha means guardian, although I believe that has more connotations of guardian in the legal sense.

I believe the word Shugosha has more martial or romantic overtones, like guardians of the temple, or guardians of the world order. That sort of thing.

I thought it did, but I couldn't think how I found it out and that i may have made it up. Do you think the name Shugosha would be better to use than Hogosha?

EDIT: And how would you say these to?

Ho go sha?

Shoe go sha?

[Shorin Ryuu]

Yeah, that's how you say them.

There are no dipthongs or anything though. Just Shu go sha (the syllables are all the same length).

I do believe shugosha is a more appropriate term for what you have in mind. Maybe you can ask mods or someone to change your name, if you really wanted to. I don't know the rules or even the capabilities regarding this matter.
