Hate to break this to you but she doesn't have an official name. Koakuma is just what fans call her.

[Anonymous No.]

So apparently this thread sucks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986417
ZUN agreed that her name is Koakuma, don't bother him about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986398
I'd actually be fine with her official English name being simple "Chill."

Certainly a lot better than "Cillno" or "Ciruno."

[Anonymous No.]

So apparently the characters for Kaenbyou literally mean "blazing cat". The one for Rin means "phosphorus".

>Certainly a lot better than "Cillno" or "Ciruno."
Well, translated her name would be Chillno. Since the 'chill' part only comes from the 'チル' which would just leave the 'ノ' (no) as a typical female ending for a name. Example: Yukino, Tsukino, etc

So apparently, Satori's name comes from Japanese mythology where there was a mind-reading beast called a Satori.

>wearing next-to-nothin
I think you meant wearing nothing. Pretty sure greco-roman wrestling was done in the nude.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986462
This was a pretty bad name.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986510
Correct.

[Anonymous No.]

Originally it was done in naught but a toga.

But then a muscular woman feigned being a man and got into the finals or something.
This is unacceptable, so now they had to show their penis or get out.

[None !Nipaa0mi0. No.]

>>1986510
All events were in the nude. And they took place in Olympia, not Athens.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986527
But it was also because it was believed that a athletic nude male was the most aesthetically thing ever.

[Kilgamayan !2BklmILFiE No.]

>>1986510

This only strengthens the idea.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986534

Did you mean Greeks? If so then yes. Since homosexuality was nothing new back then. And often times embraces in different cultures. Since for warriors women were sometimes considered taboo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1986546
It's a Greek thing. They highly respect athletes and believe that nudity is a great thing.

Romans however made pretty much most of their statues clothed.

When the topic of homosexuality in the militaries of Ancient Greece is discussed, the Sacred Band of Thebes is usually considered as the prime example of how the Ancient army use homoerotic or homosexual relationships between soldiers in a troop to boost the fighting spirit of their militaries. These bonds, perhaps somewhat inspired by episodes from Greek mythology, such as the heroic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus in the Iliad by Homer, were thought to boost morale as well as bravery.

The most common form of same-sex relationships between males in Greece was "paiderastia" meaning "boy love". It was a relationship between an older male and an adolescent youth. In Athens the older man was called erastes, he was to educate, protect, love, and provide a role model for his beloved. His beloved was called eromenos whose reward for his lover lay in his beauty, youth, and promise.

Elaborate social protocols existed to protect youths from the shame associated with being sexually penetrated. The eromenos was supposed to respect and honor the erastes, but not to desire him sexually. Although being courted by an older man was practically a rite of passage for young men, a youth who was seen to reciprocate the erotic desire of his erastes faced considerable social stigma.
