I think we've set a world record, haha~

Instead of naming a character directly after the names of the people in legends (i.e. Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and whatnot) I usually use the legends to come up with a story, almost like a reference sheet. I would have used Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susano, Izanagi, Izanami, Issun and all that as a name had I not learned that Itachi had pretty much all of those techniques - I remember playing the game Okami and becoming fascinated with the names, then when I first learned of Itachi (both back in 2004/5-ish) and he said something about Amatearsu, my mind for the naming part went O.o on me. When I did the research on how popular those names could be, I found out about the legend of Amaterasu and all those associated with her. (Heh, Kishi and I have a thing for these legends - it's probably why I enjoy his series so much but really, my finding out about Naruto was pure coincidence and it was the first anime I've ever really watched and enjoyed. Ah, I'm reminiscing about the good old days now~) I have always been a big fan of old legends, regardless of what culture it comes from - they're also a huge inspiration for when I'm writing or drawing.

I'm sure I lost you somewhere with my babbling~ Sorry about that -again-!

Everybody has a unique personality. Kishimoto's mixing-and-matching a whole variety of characteristics for his fans to choose from, and of course, we all have our own 'tastes' when choosing who to favor~ As long as a character has one or two fans, I think it's all good (:D)
