Talk:Hideyoshi Nagachika/@comment-213.120.234.154-20150129211703

"I think there’s a chance that Hideyoshi Nagachika is really Hideyoshi Washuu, the second-born son of Yoshitoki Washuu and heir to the Washuu clan.

Why? Because Matsuri’s name doesn’t follow the naming pattern of the Washuu family heads (all their names contain the “吉” kanji which is read as “yoshi/kichi”), so I think he isn’t (or at least was not meant to be) Yoshitoki Washuu’s successor. He might be Yoshitoki’s illegitimate child, which would explain why he doesn’t get along with his father and why he’s all about the supremacy of the Washuu clan. If Matsuri really isn’t Yoshitoki’s heir, then Yoshitoki Washuu should have a second son whose name follows the naming pattern. And in fact, Hide’s given name would fit, it’s just written with the wrong kanjis. (But if you want to hide your identity, then you at least have to change the way your name is written, right? Ghouls do this all the time after they have been exposed.)

Furthermore, Hide’s given name would even follow a second pattern in the names of the family heads: The position of the “yoshi/kichi” kanji seems to alternate between the generations. If it’s the first kanji in the father’s name, then it’s the last kanji in the son’s name, and vice versa:

Dai kichi  Washuu Yoshi u Washuu Tsune yoshi  Washuu Yoshi toki Washuu and the next one in line would be Hide yoshi  Washuu

Additionally, Ishida reveals Hide’s full given name for the first time immediately after he introduced Yoshitoki and Tsuneyoshi Washuu.”
