Question from a reader:
Is it true that people with surnames starting with the vowel sounds in the “a” row, like Matsumoto Hitoshi, Nakai Masahiro, and Takahira Kuruma, tend to get into trouble? I’m curious about this.
Examining the Relationship Between Surnames and Behavior
Recently, I received an interesting question from a friend. It asked whether people with surnames starting with
the vowel sounds in the “a” row, like Matsumoto Hitoshi, Nakai Masahiro, and Takahira Kuruma, are prone to getting into trouble. It’s true that there are others like Saito Shinji and Watanabe Ken who also fall into the “a” category, so there might be some commonality. I found it to be an intriguing perspective, so I decided to think it over.
The Mystery of Surname Vowels and Behavior
As a legal expert, I hesitate to make baseless claims, but it certainly piques my interest. There are many who have caused problems even with surnames starting with other vowels, like Mizuhara Ippei, Miyasako Hiroyuki, and Tegoshi Yuya. However, I do get the impression that people with surnames starting with kanji are more likely to get involved in some kind of trouble. I remember discussing this topic while working part-time at a law firm, where we all laughed and debated about it. At that time, I jokingly mentioned that “the vowels in surnames might have some influence,” to which a colleague responded, “So, are people with ‘a’ row surnames more likely to break the law?” It’s true that the troubles caused by those with “a” row surnames might just be a coincidence, but if there were some interesting data, it could lead to an intriguing study.
Diversity of Surnames and Individuality
That said, surnames are incredibly diverse, and I find myself curious about which vowel is the most common among them. Upon researching, I found that while there are indeed many surnames that start with “a,” surprisingly, other vowels are not far behind. This line of thought makes me feel that each person’s background and personality might be reflected in their surname. Through my studies in law, I have encountered various individuals and listened to their stories, which enabled me to recognize the culture and history behind their surnames. Particularly, I was astonished when a client shared the origin of their surname with me; it was a moment that made me realize that surnames hold meanings beyond just being names.
