Submitted Name Revision History

Combination of a ta kanji, like 太 meaning "plump, thick" or 多 meaning "many, much," and 助け (suke) meaning "help," the element also written as 介, 祐, and so on. The second kanji can also be used on its own, from 助け (tasuke), extended from suke with 手 (ta), the combining form of te meaning "hand," now the usual form.

One fictional bearer of this name is Isshin Tasuke (一心 太助), considered the epitome of the Edokko (child of Edo), making appearances in novels, plays, film, television and other media.
