quite fond of this silly hungarian cat and mouse movie its making me want to write and illustrate my own kid's cat and mouse spy movie (or comic)

(Well, technically, since they have the same family name, he's also Chino-san)

The inspiration for his character came from a children's book (or actually, now that I'm looking more closely at it, maybe it's a play set?) sold at this random Japan-themed hotel in Stockholm:

And since I, with the help of my dear friend, have already named Chino-san-from-canon Makiko, we started cooking up more stuff about their family, and most importantly, their names. What we arrived at is the following (some of this, I've already mentioned in a previous post, as well as in my fanfics):

Family name: 知野 【ちの●chino】, meaning "know, wisdom, intelligence" and "field, outskirts, civilian"—which I choose to interpret as them being named "Field of Knowledge" :P

Canon Chino-san's hc'd first name: 万喜子【まきこ●makiko】, meaning "ten thousand, all, absolutely", "joy, happy, celebrate", and "child"; "Maki" as a nickname

OC brother's first name: 綾吉 【あやきち●ayakichi】, meaning "silk, damask, twill" and "good luck"; "Aki" as a nickname

You're officially old if you remember this masterpiece
