This page is designed to assist in understanding a few Chinese and Japanese characters among the game and anime.
NOTES:
- "i" is pronounced as "ee"
- "e" is pronounced as "eh" (not the canadian "a" but actually "eh")
- The Chinese displayed reflects the Cantonese dialect, not Mandarin (or Taiwanese)

	Chinese: Tau Mun Zi Japanese: kashiramoji or the english pronounciation: inisharu You'll see these three characters on almost every Initial D logo as it means "initial"

	Chinese: Miu Yi Japanese: Myogi

	Chinese: Deui Bing Japanese: Usui

	Chinese: Chek Tsing Japanese: Akagi In Chinese, some might refer to Akagi as "Red City"

	Chinese: Chau Ming Japanese: Akina

	Chinese: I Leui Bor Japanese: Irohazaka The last character in Japanese, "zaka" translates directly into slope or hill. Might also be seen as: E ball or E Lui

	Chinese: Chau Ming (Tsuet) Japanese: Akina (Yuki) The character in brackets literally means snow.

	Chinese: Baat Fong Yuen Japanese: Happogahara The first character means eight (8) so you will often see this in filenames as 8-fong.

	Chinese: Jing Yuen Japanese: Shomaru

	Chinese: Tou Baan Japanese: Tsuchisaka

Chinese: Hounge Yip Japanese: Momiji I spelt it "Hounge" because it is more like "Younge" and not "Hong" as in "Hong Kong". If you are used to Japanese syllables, it would be Hongu. This translates directly into "red leaf", take note that the ID Team Seven Star Leaf (Reaf) calls this their home course. Because momiji is expressed in katakana and not chinese characters (kanji), Chinese people often just call the course momiji.

	Chinese: Yim Nga Japanese: Enna Enna is another weird translation in Chinese. It means "Salt Na~" thats right, salt as in table salt or sea salt.
