User blog:NovaTsukimori/The meaning behind Yuka Tsukimori's name

For those who think there are intentional parallels between Yuka and Yuma's names, there isn't. Whatever parallels you notice are found out on your own. Now then, first we will start off with Yuma's name and its meaning. His surname, "Tsukumo", can be translated as "ninety-nine" which is the amount of "Number" cards he and Astral are looking for. The name "Yuma" can mean evening or horse, which explains the horse symbol on Yuma's soccer uniform from the "Stadium of Dreams" Field Spell Card and the name of "Dark Horse"undefinedby Mr. Heartland.

Yuka's surname/family name can be translated as "moon/lunar forest" which represents the forest Yuka goes through in order to reach the Tsukimori Lighthouse, which contains many flowers exclusive to this universe that are said to only grow when at night, and only blossom at the sight of the moon. The "moon" part of the name represents the large role the moon plays in my story, often appearing on the Tsukimori family crest. Also, look at my fucking username! "Yuka" means "beautiful", which is in reference to his rather very feminine appearance. This was done on purpose in reference to the numerous times I've been called a girl or "pretty" in my life. Thus Yuka's full name is "beautiful moon forest".

The parallels between Yuma Tsukumo and Yuka Tsukimori are completely coincidental.
