Ikyoto
JSPS
I know that ikyoto-jin is rather rude, but I've had the nicname "Ikyoto" since a teacher gave it to me over 30 years ago.
Does it bother any Japanese people that I use it?

I'm not Japanese so I can only guess. Since the Japanese are predominatly non-christian, the idea of calling a non-Japanese a 'pagan' or 'heathen' would sound rather odd & humorous; even in English it sounds like a 1,000 yr old term. I'm sure a well-read, cosmopolitan Japanese would see the humor in it one way or another. For the average Japanese, it might sound odd, but since you are a foreigner (are you ?), you can get away with it. An "odd" foreigner" that is. I would assume trying to get that registered officially or starting a family with such a strange Japanese name WILL become a problem. But hey, what's a nick if it doesn't shock, insult, or at least amuse the reader ?Ikyoto said:Does it bother any Japanese people that I use it?
