    Following your logic, Inuyasha must be female too.
    http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.p...B5&kind=je

    Might wanna run 'solder' and 'knight' through that same dictionary.

    Actually, I went ahead and looked up 'yasha' in my Japanese-Japanese dictionary, and here's what I got (raw so you can verify):

    kao katachi no osoroshii kodai indo no kami
    The fearful face of an ancient Indian god.

    So it's not a general 'female demon' so much as it is a specific one. And I haven't watched Inuyasha, but if I recall right he's half-demon, half-human, right? Think it might be a namesake or something? I'm going to have to plead ignorance on that one.

    Anyways, the fact that this is what her name means does not necessarily mean she's female, and I never made any statement to that effect. It is, however, an interesting bit of evidence that supports my theory.

    yashamaru dude or drag queen

    And I live in Kyoto. Don't wanna start a fight or anything; if you're a native speaker then I'm sure your Kung-fu is much, much stronger than mine, but having the exact same definition in two dictionaries (I also checked Breen's EDICT) is a little surprising. I also ran searches for the term to try and verify your claim and all I came up with was a rock band and a bunch of masks (I did -inuyasha to leave that one out). Must be something I'm unaware of; if you have a chance I'd love for you to PM me and explain a little more, like a usage example (and the 'to'/'mo' thing I PMed you earlier about, too). Every little bit of knowledge helps....

    *sigh* That's the problem with any language; there's always different translations, and there's always more to learn [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    I thought that Yashamaru was the paternal twin of Gaara's mother.

    Paternal twins are very similar in looks but of different genders.

    Yashamaru is Gaara's uncle.

    Nice! I'm down in Miyajima; I get to walk across the Uji River every day before heading up to Okazaki to go to school. I love it here; you keep forgetting how big the city is until you get a view from the surrounding mountains, and then you're just blown away. And the sakura are starting to come out now, too, so it's that much more beautiful.

    Came here to get my fill of Japan, and once I go back to the States I'm just going to be itching to return....

    RE: yashamaru dude or drag queen

    For me it's the other way around...
    I'm currently in the states attending school, (btw Texas is no place for the likes of me) I can't WAIT to get home and sleep. I miss the mountains (though I've only ben to them twice...me be a city boy ^.^), and Shibuya, the station, the Mc Donalds I used to hand out outside...
    I WANNA GO HOME!!!

    RE: yashamaru dude or drag queen

    lol Texas is no place for the likes of a lot of people...and just because I'm from the little L-shaped state next door doesn't make me biased or anything [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    I'm sure you're family is just ridiculously proud of you studying in the States, and I know you recognize that with English that good you'll have your own little mountain of job offers when you get back. I just wish I had the means (and the degree) to stay on as long as I possibly could; went and made the mistake of falling in love with another country, so it looks like I'm either gonna have to choose or split the rest of my life between the two [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    Benkyou ni ganbare ne!

    I know. My uncle Satoshi works in L.A.
    I've never been there before though, how is it?
    Would it stave off my hoome-sickness?

    Oh, and Jonny-mt, good luck in your studies too!
