I vaguely recall "Fu" meaning "wind" or breeze. S If so, Futa might mean "feeling the breeze" or "moving with the wind" or "fart master". Who knows.

It would make me really, really, really happy if his name was Fart Master.

spoilerI thought 'kaze' was wind? Ig it wouldn't be too surprising to learn that they have different words for different kinds of wind or for wind during different seasons or something like that

Kami means god in Japanese. It also means hair. Kami Katze.

I'd love it too, but I may have made a faux pas in this case.
It's quite possible Fu has nothing to do with wind and my mind screwed me over with its remembrance.

It's kind of funny how none of you decided to just... search it up 😆 Futari = two people; futanari = two + shape; futa = two, second. This is what happens when people learn Japanese from ~~hentai~~ anime (I did too back in the day), lmao.

I put out an open invite to correct me/fill in the blanks because I enjoy learning from people more than I do from search engines. And I learned what little japanese I know from ~~hentai~~ manga and anime 🤓

Unless it's some kind of contraction (which is possible), it most likely means "two" here.
