Haikyuu birthday meaning
Translated from this amazing sheet. Still not complete, but at least Nekoma and Datekou are complete. I’m sorry if there’s a mistake because how do I English. Also, I omit some birthday which I’m not really sure, so if you want to see the full list, please click the link above (it also has parameter list! But it automatically opens download window, so…). :D
Please keep in mind that these are not official information (…yet, maybe).
Karasuno:
- Hinata (21 Jun) = Summer Solstice.
- Kageyama (22 Dec) = Winter Solstice.
- Tsukishima (27 Sep) = Harvest Moon.
- Yamaguchi (10 Nov) = Hachikou’s birthday. In Japan, Hachikou was known as Chuuken Hachikou (Faithful Dog Hachikou) in which the kanji for Chuu from Chuuken is the same as the kanji for Tadashi.
- Nishinoya (10 Oct) & Azumane (1 Jan) = 10/10 ⇔ 01/01.
- Shimizu (6 Jan) = Jeanne d'Arc’s birthday.
Seijou:
- Oikawa (20 Jul) = the day Alexander the Great was born
- Iwaizumi (10 Jun) = the day Alexander the Great died.
- Kindaichi (6 Jun) = Japan’s Rakkyou Day.
Nekoma:
- Kuroo (17 Nov) = Italy’s Black Cat Day. Peak of Leonids.
- Kai (8 Apr) = Buddha’s birthday.
- Yaku (8 Aug) = World Cat Day.
- Kodzume (16 Oct) = World Spine Day.
- Yamamoto (22 Feb) = Japan’s Cat Day.
- Fukunaga (29 Sep) = Japan’s Manekineko Day.
- Inuoka (1 Nov) = Japan’s Dog Day.
- Shibayama (16 Dec) = the day Shibainu was assigned as Japan’s Natural Monument.
- Haiba (30 Oct) = the day the October Manifesto was issued by Emperor Nicholas II.
Datekou:
- Moniwa (6 Sep) = Kurou no hi (hardship day) because 9/6 can be read as kuro. Pakistan’s Defence Day.
- Kamasaki (8 Nov) = Japan’s Cutlery Day. (as in bladed object/cutting instrument because kama = sickle)
- Sasaya (10 Feb) = the day Maeyachi Station’s name was changed to Sasaya Station.
- Aone (13 Aug) = start of the Berlin Wall’s construction.
- Futakuchi (10 Nov) = fall of the Berlin Wall.
- Obara (15 Dec) = the day Shiroishi Station (the closest station to Obara Onsen) was established.
- Sakunami (30 Aug) = the day Sakunami Station was established.
Also it’s unrelated, but:
- all of Datekou members’ names (plus the coach) are onsen names in Miyagi Prefecture.
- all of Seijou members’ names (
except Mizoguchi which is an onsen in Kanagawaapparently Mizoguchi’s name is also come from an onsen in Iwate? At least his pixiv page stated so.) are onsen names in Iwate Prefecture. - all of Fukuroudani members’ names are owl names.
- I haven’t found anything about Nekoma or Karasuno, but I think Karasuno’s is more about correlation to others…? Maybe? Like Hinata ⇔ Tsukishima/Kageyama (sun-moon, in the sun-shadow), Azumane ⇔ Nishinoya (east-west, also Asahi & Yuu is basically morning sun and evening), or (Tanaka) Ryuunosuke ⇔ (Yamamoto) Taketora (lol dragon-tiger). But my favorite is how Ennoshita’s name is from en no shita no chikara mochi = person who does a thankless task / to work without expecting any credit.
