A Father Names His Son 'Ichigo D. Yeager Guts Kenpachi Cruz'
Last year, a TikTok user with the username @alexcruzmanga shared a unique story that quickly went viral. Alex revealed that he had recently become a father to a child born on November 11, 2022.
However, what truly caught the spotlight and captured the attention of netizens was the unconventional name given to the newborn, which was a combination of several popular anime characters.
So, what is the name of his son?
Alex Cruz proudly named his son "Ichigo D. Yeager Guts Kenpachi Cruz". The name is a deliberate amalgamation of his favorite anime characters, namely Ichigo from Bleach, D. from One Piece, Yeager from Attack on Titan, Guts from Berserk, and Kenpachi from Bleach. As a final touch, he added the surname Cruz to complete the name.
It's worth noting that this is not the first instance of otaku/anime lovers choosing anime-inspired names for their children. Another notable example is the son of Indonesian comedian, celebrity, radio announcer, and actor, Uus (Rizky Firdaus Wijaksana). He named his son "Eiichiro D. Lucky."
The name Eiichiro is a tribute to Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, while the "D." represents the mysterious initial often mentioned in the series. The addition of "Lucky" seems to be derived from the English word itself.
