Congratulations Big Grin It does'nt mean Gopher.

It is written with two Kanji characters - Tuki and Moto
Tuki means the Moon. Moto means the biginig; the origin; the source.

So,
The Origin; The Biginig; The Source of the Moon.

Of course, "Moto" has a meaning called 'a book', too. However, the meaning does not suit a name.

tsukimoto is his surname.. like the other character hoshino.. one being the moon (=tsuki) while the other is the star (=hoshi).. what i can tell you is that tsuki means moon and moto.. well, i don't know what moto means.. it's only used in people's surnames and place names i guess..

by the way, thanks arnel for finding out my name.. rule or power..? wow.. that's difficult.. Sweat


Thnx everyone for your input. I didn't know it was a surname. But the name still sounds cool regardless. hehe

Its funny people outside of JPN wants to "japanize" their name into kanji, and the style that is popular nowadays is to have their name written in Hiragana or katakana. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side...

ive also heard that Kaneshiro Takeshi was half Okinawan, not sure if this is true or not. but okinawans say his last name is VERY okinawan.

theres just some last names that stick out, and you can tell where they are from just from their last name. and his is one of them.

I've been introduced to Jake Shimabukuro. He plays the "uk" in Hawaii (ukulele) and is well known. He is also gaining popularity in Japan as well. The CEO of Sony Japan is pushing Jake and getting him all kinds of exposure.... He's a very nice guy
