In Response To: Shonen (Thi Tran)

: Thi Tran

: Doesn't Shonen mean "boy" in Japanese. If so,
: why is the female Kenzo agent introduced in Kabuki #3
: named that way. If it's important to the story, than
: don't tell me, for I have yet to read issues 4-9?

: Thankyou.

Hi Thi Tran,

"Shonen" is the sort of the nick name or trade name for her. I sort of like that they call her that. Plus for a girl who was on rollor blades and was introduced to us as "Shonen Blade" (for other blade reasons), I thought it was a funny play on the popular Japanese female music group called "Shonen Knife". Sort of a funny pop cult nick name for her.
