Minoru Tanaka
Does the name Minoru Tanaka mean anything special in Death Note from his name etymology. --Cococrash11 (talk) 22:12, February 3, 2020 (UTC)


 * The name etymology really fits Minoru Tanaka's arc, 実 (minoru) means "to bear fruit" and 田中 (tanaka) Means "dweller in the rice fields" TheHollowKidVG (talk) 14:03, February 7, 2020 (UTC)


 * The verb 実る minoru means "to bear fruit," but the single character used for Minoru's given name - 実 - means "reality." And I don't think the meaning of his family name, 田中 Tanaka, is as important as knowing that it's one of the most common family names in Japan. It's in the top 5 most common surnames; there's nothing really outstanding about it, and it's a name that could belong to anybody, which is perfect for him.
