what's his name?

[ SIZE=2]I've watch the film many times but I still don't know the real name of haku! For me, haku is so handsome that I actually dream of me as an anime, so that we can be together. I hope you can give me the real name because I was so curious about it! thank you very much[/SIZE]

I know it's said in the movie. It's...I can't remember. Sorry. ><

Eyes on you

That confused me. By 'real' name, do you mean the Kohaku River? Because that's what I thought you meant at first, but if you've seen the movie multiple times... if you've seen the movie once, I thought it would have been obvious. Speaking of names... I was watching the Japanese version of Spirited Away, and Lynn's name was Rin! I know about the Japanese switching R's and L's but it never ocured to me! I mean, maybe if her name hads been spelled Lin, I would'uve thought about switching it around, but... I'm going to call her Rin from now on! (Or maybe not, because then I might get her confused with Rin from Blade of the Immortal...) My favorite character from Spirited Away is Kamaji.

Nigihayami Kohakunushi. Or Kohakugawa, which is the name of the river saiby Chihiro.

@Ameria: Some ppl call her Lin. But ive never heard of anyone spelling it as Lynn tho.

Really? Maybe I just made that part up... I could'uve sworn I read it spelled Lynn somewhere, in the English version of the artbook, or maybe online somewhere. Huh.

...I thought that his name was Kohaku...or maybe I just misheard or misread from fanfictions and a few comic strips. Sorry for this useless post.

I don't know about the Japanese version, but in the English version Chihiro specifically says that his name is the Kohaku River. It doesn't really sound like a name to me, but then again, he is a river spirit. ^_-

In the Japanese version Haku's full name is Nigihayami Kohakunushi. As it is written in Katakana, it is difficult to determine what it really means. But many people like to write Kohaku in kanji as 琥珀, which means amber.

in the myths of Japan, there is a god "Nigihayahi-no-mikoto".
(邇藝速日命)
therefore, I think that it is good using the same letter.
"Nigihaya"
(邇藝速)
"Nigi" mean wealthy, many, lively.
"haya" mean speady, vigor.
Haku seems to be god of river and so "mi" is "mizu" mean water.
(水)
"kohakunusi"
when Chihiro was young, she played at the river.
it is difficult to think that the river was big river.
so, "ko" mean small.
(小)
and, Haku is white dragon. "haku" mean white.
(白)
"nusi" mean master, god.
(主)

thats tha reason my opinion.
