Of course, in Kyo (Dir-en-Grey)'s case, the name Kyo is derived from the first symbol for Kyoto, which is where he is from. I've never heard this name used as a given name in any other circumstance in real life, so naturally it's unique to...eh...Kyo. It's a lovely name, I must admit though, one of my favourites.

This name has become more well-known thanks to the manga and anime Fruits Basket which has a character by the name of Kyo.
