琴欧洲(Koto-Ou-Shu)
"琴"
Meaning:Long Japanese Harp
How to Read:Koto
"琴" stands for one of Japanese traditional musical instrument, and so this kanji reminds us of something very Japanese and graceful. There was a strong rikishi whose shikona was "琴錦" (Koto-Nishiki). He was allowed to found his own sumo school (stable) in 1955. Since then, he named his pupils after his own shikona using this kanji. Later his pupils also named their own pupils after him using this kanji. Thus this kanji has been handed down from generation to generation.
