Comments for the name Daisuke

Isn't this the name of the main anime character from D.N. Angel?

Yep, the name Daisuke just happens to be the name of Daisuke Niwa from D.N. Angel. I love this name, as well! It's probably my favorite Japanese name, but I also really like the name Takashi.

Very common among young Japanese boys.

Pronounced (DIE-skay) on the D.N.Angel anime dvd's.

Andou Daisuke -Die- is the second guitarist from the great Japanese band Dir en Grey.

I really like this name. I didn't used to but that's because I thought it was pronounced "day-SOOK-ay," but the real pronunctiation changed my mind. And after looking at some "suke" names, I've come to a conclusion. Does "suke" mean "help"? And as a Naruto fan, I'm wondering what Sasuke means.

Daisuke is the name of a character from Digimon (who is 'Davis' in the dub.)

I really like this name because I thought it was pronounced Die-sook-ee. I'm not sure about it though. A cute nickname would be Sukes. I used this name for a female character in a story.

Yes, *suke* in fact does mean 'assistance'. Sasuke can mean different things depending on the kanji used.

From what I can tell, *sa* could mean 'difference', or 'help'. But I'm not a native Japanese speaker, nor do I know of any other kanji for *sa* and their meanings.

Daisuke is the name of a pitcher on the Boston Red Sox, Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Voice actor Namikawa Daisuke has done many roles in animes, such as Ulquiorra from Bleach, Italy from Axis Powers Hetalia and Ootori Choutarou from Prince of Tennis.

Strange, I see "Daisy Duke".

To me, it just has the right kind of sound for a boy.

I've also heard it pronounced Dai-skay in anime dubs where the "u" sound is almost completely silent.
