I should also add that i used to go by the username “Snowshark” because of a particularly embarrassing school photo where, let’s face it, I looked like a pudgy shark. It was awful, let us never speak of it again.

First name, and the numbers come from copying my big sis. Back when we were kids and she made accounts for games like toontown, pirates of the Caribbean online, and runescape she’d add 9s and 5s at the end of her usernames so it’d be insertname95. When I finally had to make my own username for online sites I took inspiration from her names for the numbers.

As I mentioned in my introduction post, my Kaza name is MKL, which stands for Mami Kawada Lover. Another handle of mine is madokakaname03 (03 coming from October 3, Madoka Kaname’s birthday), a name I simply chose at random simply because I like PMMM.
As for Mami Kawada Lover, I first used that name on 4chan. Originally the name was a joke and I didn’t intend to use it on a long-term basis, but almost five years after I began using it, I’ve gotten so used to it I never bothered adopting another handle. The original intention was to “promote” Mami Kawada on 4chan. The username itself is loosely inspired by an online friend of mine who goes by the handle kawadaholic; he and I are part of an I’ve Sound circle of fans. Lately I’ve been using Konomi Suzuki Lover as a secondary alias (such as on the Kaza Discord) since I’ve been more into Konomi than Mami lately.

I originally learned of the name “Kai” in a German class, but learned the name also was a Hawaiian name for “sea”. We were required to use a German nickname in the class, and since that was similar to my real first name (Kyle), I picked it and pretty much stuck with it.
My scrawny ass is certainly no type of warrior though.
“Liang” is a representation of “beam” or “bridge” which made some sense back then since I was at least somewhat popular in high school and always had a fascination with psychology and human biology/interaction and seeing connections between things and events. It’s also the last name of one of the main characters of the biggest video games series in history (Dynasty Warriors) that I happened to really like and still do today. The name fit, but the first letter was changed because it felt more personal and sounded better that way.
Years later, the two were put together and here it is today.
All this said, there has been some serious consideration of a new name in the past few weeks but it’s not certain where it is going to start and what will come up it…yet.

Mine is from Bernkastel…
the character and…
the town, Bernkastel-Kues
which both have significance for me in many ways!
I added “elle” suffix or the French “she” to match my old twitter handle, which I just created because “Bernkastel” was taken.

When I was around 14-15, I was playing this mobile game Strategery a lot. I played multiplayer and was really good. Alongside this I realized I had a strong interest for strategy games overall because I played a lot of this on Steam and generally. So around that time sometime I started using Strategist as a username for my accounts and now it’s my signature username

I am AustinDoujin, the Keeper of Doujins. Ironically I didn’t choose this name because of my love for doujins. I didn’t become a doujin master until much much later. I was just a humble doujin reader with way too much saved on my computer. One day, I was hanging out with a friend of mine and he stumbles upon the doujin folder on my laptop. Because Doujin sounds like my actual last name, he says to me “I’m gonna have to call you Austin Doujin from now on!” He never did call me it though.
Several months later, I was about to start using the social side of an anime site called Kitsu. I made my account with my Facebook so it was using my real name as the user name, and I needed to change that. On a whim, I decided to use AustinDoujin as an inside joke between me and that friend who also uses Kitsu. The name stuck, and I don’t think I will part with it for a long, long time.

Well, my username is not too unique. But anyway, “Sonic” comes from most of the Sonic classic games I played in the past as a child and he’s always been my favorite video game characters. He’s an inspiration to me as he always try to help his friends and cheer people up. And as growing up, Sonic SATAM (the image shown here) is one of my most favorite cartoons in the 90’s that I particularly enjoyed the most. He’s kinda like me tho since I try to say positive things to people and inspire others to do their best.
As for the number “11”, it’s an unique number for me as well as an unlucky number of mine. 
It was probably the most significant age for me as far as I can remember although I didn’t have the best childhood back then. And as “2003”, that was the year I graduated from high school and also when I first got into anime. And that really took things quite a turn in my life and how I first discovered many anime I watched since that time until now. I don’t ever regret it and it will always be one of my favorite hobbies. Anyway, that’s about it for my name. I would’ve mentioned this when I first came on Kazamatsuri but now seemed like a good time to reveal about it. Thanks for reading!

My name: Evan -> FLIP : Nave -> Didn’t like it, got rid of the “e” : Nav.
I forget exactly WHY I did this, since I usually just use my real name.
It’s fun reading how all these interesting names came to be.
If any of you know the artist VOFAN (Monogatari series), he was a fan of some game that abbreved to “VO”( I don’t remember exactly which game), so he just put VO-Fan, or later VOFAN, as his pseudonym.
Interesting topoicc and replies…
zetaFairlight: Fairlight sounds misterious and I have an emotional attachement to that word.
It was an musical instrument. zeta… I have no idea, maybe sounds simple and has to do with my name.
I used the name BeanCurd not because it’s my favorite food or anything. I like them, but they’re not my favorite.
There’s a very random story about why I chose this username. It’s not really that deep or anything…
I don’t think I can explain it in an essay or paragraph form. So I’ll just write our conversation instead.
This is back when I was in high school… (This was partially translated because we’re speaking Filipino and English here haha…)
Friend 1: What do you wanna be called?
Me: Anything
Friend 1: What do you mean ‘anything!? As in anything?
Me: Yup
Friend 1: Fine… Even “tokwa?”
Me: That’s okay
Friend 2: You’re “tokwa” now. That’s what we’re gonna call you.
Friend 1: Come on, let us make it cuter!
Friend 2: She said anything!
Friend 1: Tofu, there cute. Much better
Me: Anything
Ever since then, my high school friends call me ‘Tofu.’ My other friend still calls me ‘Tokwa’ sometimes. Of course, they still do address me with my real name from time to time.
(Tokwa is just a Filipino term for Tofu btw)
That’s why I chose the name BeanCurd. It’s basically a reference to my nickname given by my friend.

So my name World of Books was sort-of derived from one thing I love most in the world … any guesses as to what it is?
Answer : Books!
I chose this name because I felt books transports me into a new world, hence “World”. And joining the two together sort of created a world which itself is created by a book, and this relationship is continually occurring everytime I pick up a VN or just a normal book, hence the name.
Also, the name was sort-of inspired by the Makoto Shinkai film, “The Garden of Words”, because I felt it was quite a beautiful film about adolescence, love, and loneliness.. Stuff which resonate within me and which I can feel when reading books.
I hope that makes sense!

Well played BlackHayate, Fullmetal Alchemist is great got the entire manga series in English.
When the Nintendo 3DS came out, I needed to create a Mii character which i I made look as stupid as possible and thus i decided that it shall be named stupid. As a fun fact stupid is used at the beginning of my email address that i have hooked up the government (probably got possessed by Sunohara or something at the time.)
