Why is Maria's name spelled oddly? The 亞 part of her name is written in traditional Chinese instead of Japanese, which would be 亜. Was this a mistake?

亞 looks like a cross. Its very classy.

亞 is used in Japanese as well.

Because it forms a cross and crosses are deep and therefore cool.

>> No.2977568

亜 also looks like a cross... or a lot of lines. Maybe 二 + | | + 口 ?

Because it's the old village

Theres a lot of freedom in style in written Japanese. It is not seen as an equivalent of the spoken language, but rather an means of communication on its own, with its own nuances.

亞 may not be usable by the family register.
It is not usable in an official person's name.

It is the selfishness of the government office.
There are Kanji to be usable in a person's name and the Kanji that are not usable in Japan.
亞 may fall under it.
It is free in the place where a government official does not have relations.

Marisa is definitely not in the Japanese government's family registry.

I'm sorry.
亞 becomes the kanji to be usable in a person's name by the present.
The kanjis that you may use for a person's name increase every year.

What about in 1986?

I wouldn't put it past 'that' Kinzo to allow his granddaughter to have a kanji that was unusable to be used for her name...

>> No.2977833

I heard the reason that limited a kanji to use for a person's name with the computerization of the family register.
The old computer had bad performance.
There were few kanjis that it could write.
